I don't know. I'm tired. It's just that I was so at peace and focused and then .....
those of you who've been here for a while might be familiar with past rants on the neighbor's RV. Well, that RV was parked ilegally on their property, in violation of zoning laws, in addition to a utility trailer and a pickup truck and an SUV. I complained about them last year and they were sent a letter from the township to comply with the RV ordinance, which they did. But now a BIGGER RV is poised to be parked in the driveway (it's now parked in front of their house).
The problem is that the presence of the RV brings all these heavy vehicles very close not only to our house, but to our dining room windows, which already have a stone through the screen kicked up from their driveway.
I am all alone in this - my husband doesn't quite get it and thinks everyone should do what they want on their property. I agree, except when what they're doing is too close to the property line (they need 10 feet - they have maybe one foot), with insufficient buffering (a fence I had to erect to block their junk).
I think what really has me boiling is the total lack of respect here - these vehicles are so friggin close to this house I feel like I'm living next to a commercial site, instead of residential.
I want to get back to that peace I had before they returned with this monster RV they now intend to park in their driveway. It's something else now that has to tax my mind in addition to paying bills and work and revising a book and .... and ....
so have I fought the good fight? should I let it go, even though it's just such an intrusion? And how would you just ignore it, when it's in your face, and on top of your dining room windows, every day?
I was in tears this morning over this. Please help with words of wisdom.
