We've all seen the memes about how bad 2020 has been, and how everyone can't wait for it to be over. But why next year will be any better stymies me. With just two-and-a-half months to go it's unlikely we will wake up on January 1, 2021 to find it's all behind us. Things might even be worse, with the winner of the election still in doubt and the coronavirus entering its final phase when it infects everyone who has thus far escaped.
(The Good) That was a bummer of an opening, so I'll switch to all the good things about 2020. For one thing, Halloween will not happen in the way it usually does, with millions of children out scavenging for insane amounts of poisonous sugar capsules with which they will stuff themselves and solidify the still-burgeoning fat cells in their bodies, thereby insuring another generation of fatties with bad teeth and high cholesterol leading to cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Even better, I will not be stuffing myself with all the leftover candy I buy just in case someone rings the bell (which they hardly ever do except for my neighbor's twin grandkids), making myself both physically and mentally sick for at least a week.
Another 2020 plus is our meeting Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a woman plucked from obscurity to become a household name. Has there ever been a more intelligent, honest, articulate, fair or appealing person nominated to sit on the Supreme Court? Certainly not in my memory. And the Senate hearings searching for her Achilles heel have done nothing but highlight her superiority to those sorry Democrats (The Bad) hurling questions at her like, "Do you condemn white nationalism?" and, "Have you ever sexually assaulted someone?" Really, it's like a Saturday Night Live skit on steroids. And there's one more day to go, so tune in today if you haven't already seen it.
Lastly, whether you love Trump or hate him, seeing an overweight 74-year-old contract the virus and come through safe and sound fairly quickly has got to make us all breathe a little easier, except of course my husband's evil cousins (The Ugly) who were hoping he would die. Sorry girls, I guess you'll have to put up with another four years of the man.
