Tough lessons

Finally home now… car running good. ❤️

And yes … all day long… every 15 to 30 minutes – I get a reminder that Apple is going to make my battery suck later tonight 🤨 stop telling me!!!! It couldn’t be anymore annoying!! What’s with this constant annoying notification on this?? So I can constantly think about the battery?? 🤨

Just tell me maybe twice… the first time I might not be fully paying attention… second time – a reminder “just in case” … but there is literally NO reason to tell me this every 15/30 minutes 🤨 ALL DAY LONG!!! Ok I get it!

If it wasn’t so annoying, I would make sure would be unable to update – but I don’t want another full day of these notifications!! Is that their deal? We will annoy them to ensure they update lol – fricken Apple 

Then I also got notifications on weather 😳😮 uh-oh 😮😳

I looked at the temps and they don’t seem overly bad? Are in the 90’s… but they are set to climb

We will have a daytime humidity of only 8 to 15%

So heat… and very little humidity ♨️♨️♨️ …

Add to that… North winds 15 to 35 mph 😳😮 any fires will move fast!

I should be ok… I am clear from any major trees or brush… and if the electric company shuts the power off (because they have been in trouble for causing “several” really bad fires, INCLUDING “THE WORST” fire in California history “The Camp Fire” )

Little by little since last year – I have been collecting items that will help us through this, and prepare…

If they should turn off power – I should be ok… I have water, non perishable food, a portable shower – cause I need that!… I have battery operated lights, I have a tiny little air conditioning unit for at least 1 room, I also have a small chargeable 150v battery – and also a portable solar panel to charge that… oh and I have a cooler for any drinks or foods that need refrigeration

I also have a hot plate that can use the battery with if needed – so I can cook. We can also charge our phones with the battery so we don’t have to sit in my car to do that.

So I think I have prepared for that this year?? 🙏 I am trying to make sure I am covered… we are gonna find out if I forgot anything, eventually!!! 😳

If they could just simply repair their lines – we wouldn’t have that problem at all!! The court cases due to those fires I mentioned – made them file for bankruptcy.

So they are going to do it again, until things are fixed, which will take years and years!!

I know you can’t fully be ready for things in life… but I feel a little better if I try to prepare… am at ease thinking won’t be as bad as it was last year!!

Last year was the first year they shut power off… I had no electricity and no water… they gave no warning the first time they did that… and customers were pissed because we have to pay for PG&E’s greed – they have a monopoly… and we are at their mercy cause they can’t do their job or handle their money.

If they had always maintained their lines – which they don’t – we would not have these issues.

That was the beginning of October 2019.

That weekend they gave power back for a day and cut it back off! The whole entire month of October 2019… I had no water or power!! And into November it went!! Ugh – I was never so happy to see winter rains!!

I will never forget that! So since then – I have been preparing – what did I need that won’t make that so horrific? I think I have prepared pretty good. 🙏

Ok so… anything else life wants to throw at me?? Lol – I am preparing!!

I feel like I have to prepare for literally everything 🤨 lol … I should probably get more toilet paper 🧻 lol 🤨 … I do need to restock on actual normal batteries.

What else would I have to seriously prepare for?? Maybe I should prepare incase I get coronavirus? Cause even though I don’t want that… it “could” happen… am I prepared? I don’t think so on that one. That will be the next thing on my list of things to prepare for

I don’t want to panic… so works best if I prepare.

And just FYI… I also know that no matter how prepared I think I am… life likes to throw curve balls, so “some things” you just can’t be prepared for 🤨 … I just want to try to prepare, with the things I am able to prepare with.

At least is something – not so much at mercy 😘✌️ … I hate being at mercy!!

One of my friends told me… now mind you – this is hear say… just a rumor currently – because I can not verify yet…

But they said some workers at one of these local stores – has coronavirus 🤨😮 … again “hear say”! I HAVE NOT verified the info yet…

That would be horrific. A store full of people possibly compromised and being around other people and so on. 😮

Hopefully is just a incorrect gossipy rumor. ✌️

But I will remain wearing my “being around people” hazmat gear 🤨✌️ I definitely do not want to die or hurt anyone else!

I want to be safe and sound!!

I feel more change coming though 😮

2020 is forcing updates everywhere!! Which I suppose ARE actually needed and we ARE learning things every day.

These are some really tough lessons though! ✌️
