In my head yes. I have thought to run and bring some sense to this nonsense.
But I work 60-70 a week. I have to homeschool a kindergartener that cannot stay on a zoom for 2min and make sure that my 3rd grader is not watching you tube or Netflix while on her 8am-3pm zoom.
My husband also works crazy hours and cooks and takes care of handyman issues at home and feeds the kids. Weekends are cleaning and homework catch up.
We are blessed we have a good jobs that we could outsource our needs gardener, nanny,cleaning lady but now with covid-19 we are is full lock down. We stopped contact with anyone except essential.
I lost my wonderful father to covid in the early stages of the pandemic. We don’t know where he got it. he only had fever, we did not know it was covid-19 until day 10. He did not have any preexisting condition. His fever started the day of stay at home. He went to the hospital (only with fever) in my home country to get checked due to his age. They called us the next day saying he was in icu and the following day that he was on a ventilator. 9 days and he passed. It was devastating not being able to travel. To have to tell my mom via zoom my dad died. He was 70 no heart problems, no blood pressure not even even cholesterol.
We are taking this stay home seriously so no more outsourcing of anything. We do it all. Cook, clean, teach, work.
Sorry for the long explanation but although I wish to be part of the board I just can’t.
Also I so busy I don’t even know my neighbors much beyond the friendly wave on my way to school or work. I usually came home late from work and weekends we used to go out. And now we don’t leave the inside of the house.
Besides, I often think how selfish of me for just worrying of something as trivial as color painting when people are dying, have no jobs or kids are abused at home and cannot escape at school. I thank God for being blessed with work and health.
I miss my dad a lot though.
I still have to continue with life and house needs to be painted else a violation will come my way and I will fight until is just not worth it.
That is what I came here for some perspective and got great advice.
