Searching the sky

Natalie had a difficult afternoon: she cried a lot and seemed to be in pain. Her temperature was 100, so she might be coming down with something, but it could be that we don't know how much food to give her since she doesn't really know to stop eating when she's full, and we don't know if we're giving her too little (today at the doctor, she weighed 18 pounds, 7 ounces, which is almost exactly what she weighed one month ago...so we are giving her too little, except that she was sick for two weeks since that previous weigh in).

Tom wanted to look for the comet tonight since it's the last night possible to see it and the two previous nights were overcast. He got on top of the roof and looked for it at sunset, but couldn't see it. He was going to spend some more time looking but decided not to since his chances were poor (still too much "city" in the way of the horizon) and Natalie was still crying a lot. Anyone know when this comet completes it's journey around the backside of the sun and starts to head back to space? Tom says he's looked and looked for information on when it makes the return loop and can't find anything.
