turn the perspective around

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 16 Nov

I was at a fire meeting last week. The guys reported on a medical call where a man in his 40's had had a heart attack, and that they were able to revive him, so it was a good outcome. But then they talked about a call that same...

It's not my problem any more

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 14 Nov

I should just forget about it and make my brain move on. What am I talking about? The guy I was dating until he broke up with me in February. He broke up with me because he was experiencing severe anxiety, trauma, nightmares,...

The best discussion ever just went poof

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 14 Nov

Seriously, I had just typed paragraphs and paragraphs, and I was almost to the end, and somehow I closed this lovely little box wherein I had just poured my heart out, and the box went bye bye, and the discussion went poof. What...

Well sort of.... So if you haven't been following the story of my woes with the solar company, I signed documents, they installed solar panels, and then they wanted me to trim my trees before they would turn things on. I trimmed...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 27 Sep

This is a report of what happened yesterday at the El Dorado County board of supervisors meeting when a bunch of neo-nazis crashed the zoom and said some really hateful things, mostly about Jews. It can't happen here,...

Today I was on Maryann Petri's podcast regarding false accusations. Maryann had to fight the family court system for custody of her children after her ex's new girlfriend made up false accusations against her. She has become a...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 19 Jun

Last week or the week before, I got an email titled "Got You" in my inbox. I read it and it said that the sender had my password (didn't say which one), and that they had taken over my webcam and had video of me watching...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 17 Jun

When I moved into this house in 2012, there was a front yard sprinkler system and a dead lawn. Sometime after that, Tony got the system up and running and got the lawn green again. And then we had a big drought year. I don't...

My ex husband

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 17 Jun

So this is a weird one. Or maybe not. I've been divorced since 2011. My ex was pretty verbally abusive in the end, even to the kids. He was frustrated with me and he put them in the middle and that is really the reason I...

How do you get somebody out of your head?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 17 Jun

Haven't posted in a while, so I'm downloading a lot today... Broke up with a 10 year boyfriend last November. I realized there were things about him that I didn't want to deal with any more. Turns out my kids disliked him a lot...

So in my community, the community services district is responsible for fire, parks and rec, CC&Rs, lighting and landscape districts and trash service. The fire service is "igniting" a lot of community concern. Due to higher...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 17 Jun

First week in May, and my son almost gives me a heart attack. Apparently he had a new girlfriend, and guess what, she says she's pregnant. OMG. Well, they went out end of March, had sex twice mid and late April, and first...

Me and the solar company

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 17 Jun

Was considering adding solar panels before California reduces the amount I get back for contributing to the grid. Projects approved before a date in April are grandfathered in to the old plan. The new plan reduces your...

Mama never did settle down

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 9 Mar

Foster babies are doing pretty OK. I have to stop them from pooping next to the litter box, but other than that, they're eating OK, using the box, love attention, etc. Mama never did settle down. They gave her her rabies shot...

Murder Cat

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85093) • Shingle Springs, California 23 Feb

So on Monday Animal Outreach calls, "can you foster"? Well, I know that Naomi told them no last summer, but I figured I'd do most of the work, so I said yes. It was a mama and kittens, but I couldn't pick them up for a coupe of...

Well, here I am, single again. Life sucks and then you die. The damaged guy with the PTSD decided his reaction to getting close to a woman was not fixable, and he broke up with me. So much for optimism. I am sad, for him too....
