Huzzah Huzzah Huzzah!

Sunshine Supergirl celebrated the whole night long and is now crashed for the day. Or, uhm, until lunch at least.

Many many thanks from the Grand Trio (GOTTA include our Accomplice Angel!) who take such delight in bringing you the Best, the Meh, and the Avoid Like the Plague!

Thanks very very much for yet ANOTHER awesome year y’all! and may Omicron stay away from you and yours.

Your Accomplice, Gillian
