Thanks! Received and resent.
I was just out in the yard/garden. We're still surrounded by construction vehicles working from dawn to dusk (pretending to work, anyway). Very noisy, very shaky, very distracting. At night the hum from the new 5g towers keeps us awake in more ways than one. I'm doing everything I can to think of a plan to get us out of here. Which sucks, because that's what I've had to do so many times in the past 10 years. I hate running away from a situation, but we keep getting abused, targeted, or just outright evicted for absolutely no reason at all. One landlord claimed they were moving in family from China (one of the only legal ways to evict us the way they did). But they just found a new tenant to abuse, at $250 more per month. Scumbags everywhere. My wife and I have been through the wringer, especially since we got into hardcore activism and fighting big pharma. Middle of the night, middle of a blizzard eviction even. Absolutely no reason, and illegal. We found out later the new owner of the house was ex-M16 and were told by local cops "just get out of there and don't mess with them". Over and over, harassed and abused and almost killed. Now we've got Brett and we're doing out best to make a stable and healthy life for him. But man, there's just no way here. 17 months of nonstop "work" so far, to get a roundabout in. Now they're re-doing the train tracks next door (yes, we live alongside a busy rail line). That's exectged to go at least another year! Every day is a struggle. I've been sleep deprived for more than a year. My health is in shambles. And to think, we moved here to get away from Vancouver, and have the baby somewhere we could potentially recover from our past wounds! No such luck.
I got a ton of sun in my eyes just now. My nerve condition makes it pretty tough. I can't even really see outside, even on a regular day. On a bright day I'm basically blind now.
