Aww, msbelle.
Well, I was fail at my very last nemesis task. I folded about a third of stuff, but then remembered that the SO had set out the telescope for me, so I went out and saw one of the nebulae in Orion! It was so cool! And also cold!
The SO is still sleeping in the sickroom, so I'll leave the laundry on the bed and do it tomorrow. I am still calling the day a big win, though, because I got a lot a lot of stuff done. And I did put away the food.
Now for hot cocoa, stoking the fire, and flannel sheets with a fairly new to me Pratchett book.

Looking at the nebulae in Orion is
never
a fail.
Besides, you took care of all the cord wood despite the protestations of the phoebes.
holy shit, last night when I was needing to wind down I went on ebay and bid on stuff. I just won 2 pairs of shoes. used, natch (no new clothes for me in 2011) and good ones, merrell and ecco, but huh. I better not win the other stuff.

No fail there. It's a nebula! That is so amazingly cool.
It is! It is the first time I`ve seen one on my ownsome. I`ve seen clusters and such at the various observatories I`ve been to. But this was very thrilling finding it myself and then seeing stuff! It was very impressive! Well, first I was dumb and couldn`t work the new eyepiece and put in the old eyepiece and was all, I think the mirrors are frosted over! But no, just out of focus. Oops. So then I found it and put in the new eyepiece and wow!
I could see the Trapezium cluster! Well, I could see the four. But Wikipedia tells me that with my telescope I should be able to separate two of the eclipsing binaries. So now that I know to look for it I should be able to see six.
It was too cold to fuss with the camera but tomorrow I`ll try to work it out indoors so I can take a pic for you guys.
In cord wood related news, my muscles would like to strenuously object to today`s activities.
Grey is alive, like fog, or silvery fur, or tree bark, or the Elven cloaks in LotR. Gray is flat, inert, like paint on a wall, or paper, or concrete.
Ding ding ding! Beverly is absolutely right.
I find I subscribe to Beverly and Jilli's views on grey/gray, though I didn't know it until now.
For your neighbor's demonic babies with their long lizard tails!
Maybe that's why C never has anyone over!
shrift, thanks for the advice on the computer. I'm not sure I even know how to do that, but I'll give it a shot.
I feel like Calli should be weighing in on this, as my next-door neighbor. If she's got a demon baby, she's doing an excellent job of disguising it as a friendly cat.
Leifur is lulling us into a false sense of adoration. If I attempted to put a diaper on him—with a hole cut out for the tail or not—I'm sure his demonic nature would emerge.
Maybe that's why C never has anyone over!
Demon sister there, not a demon baby.
Jessica gets all the onerous task stars.
