It was mostly extempore, you lovely mod, you! I did this off-the-cuff and in a few hours...for 31 days! Whew! I surprised myself pleasantly.
It was fun tying all the threads together and giving everyone, and everything, a happy ending.
There were a slue of wonderful commenters along the way, too, you being one of them, that made this a gift for myself that I got to share with everyone. Thank you! Again.
