I am literally so frustrated and pissed off right now I can’t even. I’m like trying not to angry-cry because I am so frustrated.
One of the things I look forward to every year is when May rolls around, because the first weekend in May is when the HOA opens the pool for the season. And I LOVE going to the pool to soak up the sun and to do walking laps as part of my daily exercise.
And this year, the HOA has been putting people off and putting people off when they ask “When will it open?”. I fully believe they have NO intention of opening the pool at all this summer and it pisses me off, because we’re not allowed to have our own pools in the backyard. You can have an in-ground pool, if you want to pay for something like that but you can’t have any sort of above ground pool that’s bigger than a child’s wading pool without being fined and told to remove it immediately.
And I am so pissed off right now I can’t even. GODDAMMIT TO HELL!
I am sick of being told “Don’t go there. Can’t do this. Do that. Don’t do that.” I have HAD IT.
I could go to the lake, but with as many people who go to the lake on a daily basis during the summer (especially right now), you CANNOT social distance at the lake. I have lived here for 20 years and at the HOA pool, I know for a damn good fact that during the day social distancing is 100% possible. It doesn’t even get ‘busy’ until later in the afternoon or the evening. If you go during the day, you MIGHT see 3-4 other people. Maybe. There have been days when I went and saw nobody for 2 solid hours. And I have given the HOA suggestions on how to make sure social distancing is maintained, but they ignored them.
Because they don’t give a shit. And I’m angry but if I start making a fuss about it on social media, people are all “There is worse shit happening right now. Shut up. Stop complaining about such a goddamned first world problem.”
And I’m supposed to feel shitty about saying what I feel, so I generally do because there ARE worse things that are going on right now.
But goddamnit all to fucking hell. I have been stuck in this house since March 14, with nowhere to go because every damn place was closed and we’ve been encouraged to not leave the damn house unless it was an emergency or we desperately need food, etc.
I AM SICK OF THIS CRAP AND I JUST WANT TO USE THE FREAKING POOL THAT WE PAY GOOD DADGUMMED MONEY TO BE ABLE TO FREAKING USE!!!!!!!!!!!
