Ladies and Gentlemen:
@cali-girl will be taking a post vacation until further notice (it's August after all!) - away from Steemit. That's right, I won't be posting new content on Steemit for a while... I won't be gone forever, but it will be for a while.
In the meantime I might do some re-posts of old posts that I enjoyed writing that my newer followers probably never read, but no new content. I'm not capable of producing any new content at the moment. I'll be around making comments and re-steeming, though.
Why, you ask?
Because my attitude sucks right now and I need to separate myself so I can extract some demons. I won't go into details because I think that would be kinda tacky. Do what I gotta do, right?
Everyone goes through ups and downs in life and instead of carrying on like it's nothing, I'm going to face it head-on and address it properly. I want to learn this lesson once and for all so it doesn't repeat itself.
Let's just say @cali-girl isn't feeling the love right now...

Here's my way of doing it:
or this one if you prefer extractor of different type
This always works for me, try it =)

some say, extracting demons works great if you shout at this device
So, if you find one, please try it.
As for me, I failed to find such devices in the woods, so I don't trust those punks anymore =)

Hello, @cali-girl :) I was first drawn to your post because of the dog in the picture. I have a golden retriever, and I could just imagine my dog sitting next to your dog, or in all reality, she would be all over your dog playing! But I digress; I was struck by the content of your message and commend you for taking some time for self-care. So important to not only be compassionate to others but also to ourselves. So yes, as you said, "do what you gotta do!" I wish you well and hope you come back refreshed and rejuvenated! Take care :)
P.S. As I am new to the Steemit world, I have not yet read any of your other posts, but that is all about to change. :)

My dog is part Chow and part something else (not sure what), but he does look similar to a Golden Retriever from the side. Your dog is probably larger. :)
He loves beaches or anything in nature really. We can all learn important lessons from dogs I think and my dogs are the only things that keep me going sometimes.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope to run into you frequently. :)

lol -"my attitude sucks right now and I need to separate myself so I can extract some demons" <<< I am with you! I left Cali for Bangkok and it helped, but this is not the answer for all. Enjoy your beaches - this was always the best place for me when I lived there.

Which part of Cali did you live in? And for how long?
Originally, I'm from Colorado, so Cali was an exciting change for me -- for a while. Now Cali is more an annoyance than anything else, but I'm staying probably at least until my son graduates high school; he's entering 9th grade next month. I'd consider becoming an expat sometime in the future, but I hopefully have time to figure all that out. I definitely won't have the means or desire to retire in Cali...

I have always been a rolling stone and my son was born in Denver :) Then when it became obvious that his "dad" was not going to step to the plate I moved to Coronado with my son when he was 1 and we stayed put until he graduated High School. I was a single mom in every respect. His dad did not show up to make a claim, so my son has "none" on his birth certificate for "father".
Then I lost weight and lost all my friends and lost my work and lost my money. I've been a homeless vagabond since 2013 trying to push my natural weight loss message. My son is a total mess with ptsd and depression back in San Diego now. He was homeless for about 5 years and now barely has a roof he might soon lose.
Even though Coronado was a great place for his early years, my biggest regret is not leaving the country at about 9th grade and bringing him with me doing home schooling. I had a dream that he would have a home town like I do not. But he cannot even go there now.
Starting in 8th Grade - he has suffered about 25 deaths in his circle of close friends from every tragedy you can imagine. It's been a nightmare and I do not know if he will make it himself. It's my never-ending fear these days.
I don't know if you know about the San Diego Coronado Bridge, but it is a suicide magnet and the main entrance to town.
One of my son's best friends jumped a few months after graduation. This was a kid I was a "reading mom" for in 2nd grade. The bridge closes at least weekly for jumps or attempts. I really kick myself for staying as long as I did and subjecting my son to this.
Many other kids that used to hang out in my house are now gone to other tragedies. Many have died from "unknown" causes and of course everyone then thinks it was suicide. My son is not the only one suffering. The last death for him was in March of a messed up kid my son used to take care of and protect from bullies. He took that death hard and has not really come back since then.
I left a year and a half ago since I was not helping him and I was fading away myself. This journey has made me healthier and better able to work. I thought my son would do better if he did not have me to be a focus of his anger and sadness. But this has not been the case.
I'm glad I left; I hope never to return; but I sure miss my son. I pray for your son - High school is not easy anywhere. My recommendation is not to be in an elite school but I have absolutely no authority as a parent and don't recommend listening to me on this topic.
