31. THEY ARE THE REASON NO FAMILY FOR US
Sat Jul 11, 2020, 05:17 PM
Jul 2020

We isolated and are still isolating and because they all went out to Vegas and the bars and party time we had to cancel our visit with our daughter and granddaughter. It is an 8 hour drive from here and COVID is going up in Oregon and Montana.

I live in Portland next to Forest Park. Although the governor has told people to wear masks when they go out, hundreds of people are walking by my house or running and biking maskless spewing their droplets as they go. They are cool, you know liberals who love the out of doors and are very athletic and very very thoughtless.

I have to do my yard work in the very early morning or at night to avoid them. If I am in the yard with a mask on they say hello like it is totally normal. I give them very dirty looks. I am sick of them and very very angry about having to isolate for the fourth month, as for me it is really 7 months as I had two strong viruses this winter and had to stay in. THIS WILL NEVER END IF THEY DON’T GET A CLUE! And, no I refuse to die so your dog can take a crap on my parking strip! They are turning me into a mean old lady!
