Hi, sunshine.
Thank you for the update.
You have done what you could, so go ahead and use that lovely pool and try not to feel guilty.
Just keep telling yourself that they brought it on themselves by being inconsiderate neighbors.
I would cut off a limb for my own pool.
Wait. That wouldn't work.
My gym has a very nice pool, which I get to twice a week, mostly.
I hurt my shoulder this week--overzealous yard work--so am swimless and yogaless while it heals.
The eclipse was amazing, wasn't it?
One thing that has struck me throughout the pool shenanigans is the people pleasing thing.
Ya know, we try to be nice, have people like us, then someone gives us a big ol' psych out wedgie.
I volunteer at an organization.
I like it, and they like me.
Sometimes I'm tempted to take more on there, especially as they are seasonally busy with fund raising events.
I have learned to wait a bit before I offer to do something more.
As in, do I really want to do this because it will help?
Or am I doing it so everyone will say I'm a star?
Just checking my motives.
