1. Geico commercials are making me way too happy these days. First, there was the one with the therapist who says he helps people from becoming their parents taking his clients to a big box hardware store. Every time, I too have to say, “We all see it. We all see it.” and, “He has blue hair,” while my boyfriend yells out, '“BLUE!” But then they outdid themselves with the new Tag Team commercial. The hip hop duo comes to help with dessert. SCOOP! There it is! That just should not make me that happy. But it does.

2. New Year’s Eve was nice. I had to work until 4, so it wasn’t a long day to relax and enjoy, but it was still lovely. The evening before, we’d gotten to see a couple of Brad’s high school friends and enjoy good barbecue with them, as socially distanced as we could. We’re not big drinkers or partiers, so we just enjoyed a quiet evening at home for the actual Eve. And then overnight we got ice and then snow, so we spent the next 2 days staying home with our cat. It was really lovely to get to just stay in and relax and not worry about the rest of the world. Today we did shovel snow and dog out the cars to run errands and get ready for the rest of the week. But it was a truly lovely 5 or so days of enjoying ourselves and staying home.
3. It’s a new year, and time for a fresh start. Although personally, 2020 wasn’t as hard on me as it was for so many, it was still a struggle. But it’s always nice to sweep everything away and start over, like going into a clean kitchen to make something delicious. I’m not really a person who makes resolutions anymore, but I do want to work some more on simplifying my life. I want to clean up some of the clutter around me, clear out closets, make some space, read more, worry less, and spend more time on the sofa hanging out with my cat.
