When the lockdowns started in March I jokingly said mother’s day may have to be on zoom. I joked about how I was lucky to have had my birthday in January because it meant I was able to have my birthday and we’d be completely over this pandemic by the time my next birthday came around. It’s almost my birthday once more and the pandemic has spiraled out of control and is at its worst. We have a president who continues to believe he can somehow remain in the White House: I’m not sure if that’s embarrassing or scary.

These are definitely some interesting times we are living through and I can’t make any sense of it. How did things get so our of hand?

2021 is unfortunately not a fresh start. It won’t be a pretty year, but hopefully the trajectory will at least be better than 2020.
