So long, 2021...

31 December 2021: Hard to think of a better encapsulation of New Year's Eve 2021 than this moment--home alone, with some take-out, waiting for Jeopardy! to start, and getting mildly excited because Amazon just delivered my new KN95 masks. 

Two years in a row spending NYE this way. Missing celebrations of years' past. Feeling sad and grim and resigned, but also hopeful for what 2022 might bring.
