52/400: Ah, Forget It

[rejectomorph]

This was the fifth or sixth day in a row when I let my phone battery go dead and consequently lost Idernet. I've turned very stupid in my old age. Cursing myself each time it happens has not fixed it. I should probably use some sort of second childhood psychology on myself, but I fear I've gotten too stupid to even figure out how to do that. Maybe some sort of reward for not forgetting tp recharge? The problem then would be actually remembering once, so I could reward myself, and it's starting to look like that will never happen again. And if it does, I'll probably forget what I want to do. I mean I'll have Idernet, and that's really distracting.

But anyway. I just thought I heard some thunder, and a short time later I'm sure I heard some thunder. We weren't supposed to get thunderstorms until Friday afternoon, but I guess they got here early. I forgot to check the forecast yesterday, so I checked just now and sure enough, thundershowers tonight and Friday evening, then rain Saturday and Sunday. Weird, but welcome... at least the rain is welcome. Spring lightning can start wildfires. In 2008 a May thunderstorm sparked over a thousand little fires and some of them joined up and kept burning well into autumn. It was the smokiest summer I can remember. I'd rather not have another like that.

Oh, I need to go fix the dinner I've been putting off for three nights. I do hope the power doesn't go out while I'm using my all-electric stove. This stuff needs to cook all the way in one go. Pasta is very unforgiving.

It was through lightningmaps that I discovered that the lightning I can see to the northeast out my back window, which I thought was maybe five or ten miles away, was actually occurring east of Sacramento, as far away as Roseville.
