 Be  isolated from my friends for long periods of time due to a deadly virus literally outside my door.

2.  Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

 I didn't make one last year, not making one for this year either. (last year's answer)

3.  Did anyone close to you give birth?
  
No but one of my best friends is pregnant. She's not due until February though.

 My own place. This will possibly be changing in 2021

With this year, all the days seem to blend together...

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I...um...got a new phone. 

9. What was your biggest failure?
I'm still at a job that I find unfulfilling but Coronavirus can take 70% percent of the blame for that.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I was tested for Corona earlier this year but the results came back negative. I showed symptoms (only chest feeling heavy). Friend considered that I might've had bronchitis.

 11. What was the best thing you bought?
Groceries. Also see question #8.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
anyone who has stayed in contact  with me on a regular basis during this insanity. Also see Question #3

2020, period

14. Where did most of your money go?
Bills, groceries and Asian take out mostly...

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Co-Vid 19 being over with. I'm still waiting on that... 😔

16. What song will always remind you of 2020?
I dunno but it's probably something gloomy

17.  Compared to this time last year, are you:
-Happier or sadder: Sadder but in 2020, who isn't.
-thinner or fatter: I'm back to my weight fluctuating.
-Richer or poorer: Poorer but I won't explain why. Debating about starting a gofundme.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
There's a LOT I would've liked to have done if it weren't for Co-Vid. Wish I'd looked for a better job but got comfortable and thought it wouldn't be the best idea in switching jobs right now.

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Be sad but isolation played a HUGE part in that.

20. How was your Christmas spent?
