They say hindsight is 2020 and that is definitely true as we’re all eager to put this disaster of a year in the dumpster and light it on fire.
While many of us remember way back in January feeling like 2020 would be our year we just couldn’t predict it would be our year of high unemployment, isolation, fear, sickness and uncertainties.

However devastating and infuriating the news has been this year, it’s still important to find a little bit of humor in the absurd.
