Being kept very busy. The evil neighbors have taken their harassment to a new level. We have been working on cleaning up the debris after Jmebear's ex left. Apparently the new form of harassment by the neighbors is to call code enforcement out to hustle us a bit more. An unfortunate side effect is that he is also telling us the porches we were assured would not require a permit, do, the shipping container we have the hay in (and has been here twenty years) is not allowed, and we have to have permits to put up tents over our farm equipment. Honestly, permits for tents... really??? Hence we are in violation for not asking the Mommy-State for permission to replace the old tumble-down porch and put in ramps for Jmebear. Now I am stopped from getting anything else done because the Bureaucrat has only given us thirty days to comply. Not a possibility as we are both disabled and elderly. Oh yes, and he sent the notice to the wrong address delaying the notice by two weeks. So we really only have two weeks to comply.
So Jmebear now has even more nonsense to attend to in her already overloaded schedule and same with me. Thankfully, she is already working with an Elder Advocate-Lawyer on another issue and might be able to get her help on this. We're happy to comply with their demands. Problem is, they're not very clear just what those demands are besides a totally unrealistic timeline and threats, threats, threats.
Add to this situation we are literally seventeen miles outside any city limits. So who cares if we have stuff stacked around? Well except nosey neighbors of course...
I so wish we could defect from Soviet California...
