Lunar eclipse, and less celestial happenings.

[flexagon]

I was sick today in that sleepy, tired way I sometimes get, so I marked myself "out of office" and then sat around working all day, because that seemed reasonable or something. No stress though, for the most part. I got some manager tasks done. I've had less pleasant workdays.

The most lovely thing since my last post was probably seeing a full lunar eclipse, at full moon at perigee (Supermoon!). I got to see part of it, the deepest half-hour, with norwoodbridge, and another part, where the shadow was coming off again, with heisenbug. Given the totally reasonable evening hour, and easy viewing angle, and nearness and brightness and fullness... well, that could EASILY be the best view I have of a lunar eclipse in my lifetime.

It is also rather lovely that some men showed up today and sprayed a lot of insulation into my attic. Will this at last quiet the horrible, guilt-trip letters from my energy company? They always show me, then my neighbors, then my efficient neighbors, in increasing order of moral rectitude.

Does the power company subsidize your improvements to your home? Most people who do things like new windows, new appliances, etc. see lower monthly costs. Is this not a good thing?

It's subsidized, I think by the state rather than the power company. And it's a very good thing, yes, a thing we've been wanting to do for quite some time. There was some complexity with needing a dryer vent to be fixed before the insulation could be fixed, so it took quite a while to set up and actually make happen.

Looking forward to lower bills, and seeing if the guilt-trip letter gets any better. What we did should've fixed the insulation situation for our ceiling but not for the walls.

I'm glad you saw the eclipse. Didn't see it myself - was asleep - but evidently it was wonderful.
