Reset Forty, Day Eighteen

rejectomorphMoney might be coming from the class action lawsuit against PG&E for the fire, and Monday afternoon I called the attorney handing the case to ask some questions, but he was on another call. I asked for a callback, but it didn't happen that day, so I expect it will come some time this morning and probably wake me up. I hope I'll be able to remember what I wanted to ask, what with my brain being all sleep-fuzzed. Also being sad, which I always am when I wake up these days. It's like what, I have to go through this again? And then the day I finally don't have to go through it again, I won't even be around to enjoy it.
Monday was warm, and it will be again today. Only slight possibilities of rain show up in the forecast, but not until early May. I suspect it won't happen. Spring is quite likely to stay dry. I have to remember to keep watering the plants in the back yard, and then there'll be nothing to do but watch the grapes grow. The best thing about a warm spring is that they should grow pretty fast and soon be quite plump. But we will be getting mild nights, even as the days start heading into the eighties. The coolest night in the next two weeks will be 47 degrees and the warmest 55. Enough of the days will be in the seventies that I probably won't get particularly miserable.
Tuesday is trash day, and I finally got around to cleaning out the bottom shelf in the refrigerator, which is hard to reach and to see. Way in the back I found a couple of packages of cheese that were well past their best-by dates (like a year past) so they went into the bin. I hated to do that, as cheese these days is more expensive than a lot of cuts of meat, but I opened the packages and they smelled quite bad, and not in the good way that some cheeses smell bad. They smelled rotten bad. I need to reconfigure the refrigerator so the hard-to-reach bottom shelf doesn't have such perishable stuff on it.
At the moment I'm having a bedtime snack of popcorn. I'm hoping to get to sleep a bit earlier tonight than usual, so I won't be quite so sleep deprived if the call from the lawyer comes early in the morning. The odds aren't good, though. For the last several nights I've been unable to sleep before dawn. I'd down a shot of something to help, but I fear I'd just end up both sleep-deprived and hung over. But maybe the popcorn I'm eating is magic popcorn, and will put me to sleep. I've decided to believe it is, and maybe the power of suggestion will work. If it doesn't, at least it was really tasty popcorn.
