SPONSORED BY BLUBLOX discount code JOY www.joyandclaire.com email: thisisjoyandclaire@gmail.com instagram: joyandclaire_ Audio Length: 49:37 minutes  Joy: Hey guys, this is Joy. Claire: And this is Claire. Joy: And this is Joy and Claire. It’s the last day of 2020. Can I get an, “Amen”? Claire: See you later, see you never. Joy: See you later, see you never. See you, wouldn’t want to be ya. Claire: It hasn’t been good, and it hasn’t been fun, and it hasn’t been good fun. Joy: It’s been real – wait, what does it say? Claire: It’s been real, it’s been fun, it’s been real fun. Or, it’s been real, it has not been fun. And you know, I feel like even though we all know that we’re not going to wake up in the morning and have the year 2020 get sucked back into the Jumanji. Joy: Oh my God, don’t you wish though that you had the Dorothy episode where you wake up and everything’s in color all of the sudden. Claire: Yes. Or like in 13 Going on 30 where she just wakes up and she’s back in her closet. Joy: I really want that to happen. Claire: Yes!  Joy: I want something to happen and we wake up on – Claire: Wake up in a closet. Well, not like, you know what I mean. Joy: Right. You’re like, “I’m 13.” Claire: Yeah. I don’t want to go back to being 13. Joy: I really don’t. Claire: But I also don’t want to have to relive 2020. Joy: [laughing] Okay, we’re not going to wake up and nothing’s going to happen, we’re going to be the same. Claire: I just want to wake up tomorrow and come outside and hear a parade and random be like, “Oh yeah, I got us these reservations tonight” just as if nothing ever happened, just be looking around. Joy: We wake up and go to brunch with all of our friends like we used to do on New Year’s Day. Claire: Exactly, and everyone acts like nothing ever happened. Even though we know that’s not going to happen, it does feel like – and we talked about this last week, we talked about this a couple of times since the vaccine started getting distributed – it feels like there is a small light at the end of a still pretty long tunnel. But at least it’s there and we aren’t feeling like we don’t know how or when this could end. So it does feel like 2020 we can close a chapter and we start to turn the page. Joy: Yes. Claire: On everything and just start imaging what life’s going to be like. Have you seen all those tweets though that are like, “It’s ten years from now. You reach into your jacket pocket and find a mask. ‘Wow, what a crazy year,’ you think to yourself as you quietly stalk around the forest avoiding the cannibal -“ Joy: With your big sword or something like that.
