Kindness: May 2020

May 20, 2020

Hello neighbors and friends:

I hope everyone is doing well, free from the coronavirus and enjoying this beautiful weather.

Just a quick and justified diarrhea expressionism. Which is long overdue: 

First: I am always friendly, I help my fellow neighbors, I stay positive and I enjoy the majority of our neighborhood and the atmosphere encompassed within.

 Though, there are a few neighbors that apparently do not agree with me. 

This is the only time I will post something negative to you all ( you know who you are)

Generating nonsense and drama is:

Uncalled for, Unwarranted AND Extremely rude. 

Second: The current year is 2020– We are in level 5 of Jumanji.

I am working from home, I have a 2 year old, a beagle, a senior in high school, a husband deployed and everything else in between. 

If you have a negative perception, an ill founded stomach feeling or a foul thing to complain about regarding MY property. 

Please refrain from spreading gossip, starting a petition or calling the Animal control. If you are personally offended,  please speak to me. 

Otherwise keep your opinions to yourself.

• My beagle: I received a home visit by McKameys today due to my dog that keeps escaping and the numerous complaints they have received. 

• I  apologize for the inconvenience my pup, Sophie has caused YOU. 

• She is not a violent dog— she is extremely friendly. 

• It  may be a nuisance to YOU  when (god forbid) she escapes the fence, the lead, barks at you, does not go into her dog house when it rains, or knocks her water bowl over for the 45th time of the day. 

1. She is a beagle. 

2. If you are willing to install a fence for free to help contain my dog that would be fantastic. Otherwise, I am doing the best that I can under the current circumstances in which all of us are enduring. 

3. Mind your own business. 

• 
  

  Bamboo: I understand that some of my neighbors have complaints regarding the bamboo growing erratically in my yard. 

• I am diligently cutting it, attempting by many means and measures to kill it and/or dig it up.

• I did not plant it. 

• I cannot prevent it from growing. 

• Feel free to assist me if you would like, instead of calling the city and posting complaints. 

During times like this — in the world we live — One would think…

Kindness would spread like wildfire not negativity, hatred, gossip and ill-spirited folks. 

We are all human — In case you may have forgotten. 

How about spreading positivity, helping your fellow neighbor or being friendly instead.

That’s all I have to say about that.

20 May 2020

This week has been crazy. 

Is it a full moon?

Or are people just tired of being nice and releasing any and all anger upon whomever is in the way??

Sheesh. 

As if life is not difficult enough. 

Me = Working from home, Two year old Tasmanian devil, packing, beagle, attempting to fix minor issues to sell house, son graduating in June (fingers crossed it isn’t cancelled), husband still deployed, bamboo invasion, beagle escape, 48 loads of laundry, trying to improve credit, no family support, lack of sleep, self-care declining. = I am ok though. I got this. Everything will be fine. 

Then— This morning happened....

A loud banging on my front door. 

I rushed to the door ...

Two officers with the initials M.A.C. Embossed across  their chests. 

Fanfuckingtabulous. 

M.A.C. = McKamey Animal Center— basically the pound for people not ‘round these parts. 

I answer the door. 

Apparently— Mr. Officer (have not idea what his name was) was informed about my big fierce and ferocious beagle is sporadically “at large”. (Yes, I am aware. She’s a damn beagle. She’s the smartest dumbass I know. 

If I put her in the back yard which is very large— she climbs the fence and escapes. 

If I attach her to the runner in the front yard she finagles her collar and escapes. She has eaten 2 harnesses. The bark collar makes her bark more. ) 

He proceeded to advise me that my animal must be contained at ALL times — no exceptions. 

Ok, dude. Gotcha. 

He issued me a FORMAL Warning. 

Fair enough. — I get it, he’s doing his job.  No worries. 

What pisses me off is the fact that ONE of my neighbors decided to call M.A.C. 

Instead of letting me know, sending me a message, coming over to talk to me about it ..... or whatnot. 

What a bunch of asshats. 

I took it upon myself to post a message on my neighborhood next-door page— To relieve. A tad bit of frustration. 

(What I posted is below) 

Hello- 

I hope everyone is well, free from the coronavirus and enjoying this beautiful weather.

 I am always friendly, I help my fellow neighbors, I stay positive and I enjoy the majority of our neighborhood and the atmosphere encompassed within. Though, there are a few neighbors that apparently do not not agree with me. 

*This is the only time I will post something negative to you all ( you know who you are)*

Generating nonsense and drama is uncalled for, Unwarranted and frankly— extremely rude. 

I am working from home, I have a 2 year old, a beagle, a senior in high school, a husband deployed and everything else in between. 

Just a quick note to the neighbors that have issues with my home, my dog and /or my yard— 

If you have a negative perception, a foul thing to say or a complaint keep it to yourself or address me personally otherwise keep your opinions to yourself.

1. Sophie:  I received a home visit by McKameys today due to my dog that keeps escaping and complaints they have received.I apologize Sophie ( my dog )She is not a violent dog, nor is she unfriendly. It  may be a nuisance to you all when she escapes the fence, the lead or barks at you when you stroll the neighborhood. She is a beagle. That’s what she does.  If you are willing to install a fence for free to help contain my dog that would be fantastic. Otherwise, I am doing the best that I can under the current circumstances in which all of us are enduring. Whoever called McKameys- As a common courtesy it would have been nice if you addressed it with me directly.  

2. Bamboo: I understand that some of my neighbors have complaints regarding the bamboo growing erratically in my yard. I am diligently cutting it, attempting to kill it and dig it up. I did not plant it. I cannot prevent it from growing. Feel free to assist me if you would like, instead of calling the city and posting complaints. 

During times like this — in the world we live — One would think — Kindness would spread like wildfire not negativity, hatred, gossip and ill-spirited folks. 

We are all human — In case you may have forgotten. 

How about spreading positivity, helping your fellow neighbor or being friendly instead.

What are your thoughts? Am I overreacting?
