2020 in Retrospect: 1. The biggest waste of money I ever bought was a 2020 planner. 2. 2019: Stay away from negative people. 2020: Stay away from positive people. 3. The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house & their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors! 4. This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came to my house & told my dog.... We had a good laugh. 5. Every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom. 6. Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands? 7. I never thought the comment, I wouldn't touch him/her with a 6-foot pole would become a national policy, but here we are! 8. I need to practice social-distancing ....from the refrigerator. 9. I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip out to the bins! 10. Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go into a bank with a mask on and ask for money. ☺
