Madeline starts out by telling a scary story of how Bugs almost died recently by eating a candy cane off the Christmas tree.

A large heap of money later, Bugs is thankfully now back to normal.

Madeline’s next few goals for the year include cooking for herself, writing in her diary again, and no longer lying to her therapist. Cheers to 2024 and another year of Pretty Lonesome!
