I’m feeling pissy - my vent / covid

Because the host doesn’t seem to care but I do. It is up to the host but she wasn’t doing anything.

I’m not so great. I do have a plan for a call with the mom tomorrow. I know her so well. I’m going to explain our position. I wouldn’t be mean but she’ll provably know I’m feeling pissy. I want to see if the 3 besties might be able to come to our yard for a visit beforehand. If not at least I tried. I’ll even drive the kids back and forth.

It also has to do with what our gov’t wants to reduce. The private property gathering limit until last week was 50. Large homes in the health authority over from us were having outdoor tented events of 50 people with buffets. It was for weddings or funerals. They’d have a diff 50 people every night for a few nights until all guests had ‘attended’ so the event could be 3/4 days. This became the major cause of our increased cases. Hence new private property rule. That health authority went a step further and asked for no residents to have any gatherings, not even 6 guests. The latter rule is a recommendation, not a law. It’s different.

I totally get that 1 more kid should be no big deal. It’s hard to allow when I know it is against the law. If it was some arbitrary school rule I could break it but a new law passed by our provincial health officer in order to try and protect us during the pandemic. I can’t.

I generally would have said that my friend group is made up of people who live it. But Halloween has proven me wrong. My closest friends are the same as me. My periphery is not the same. Usually when others are not the same as me I say to each their own or everyone has their own comfort level or as long as it’s them not me. In this case it’s illegal so I don’t like what is being taught.
