5 things make a post

[sasha_feather]

1. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. My breathing is not great and I slept most of today. May have to ask for help with some things, specifically my medication assistance forms.

2. My new sofa arrived! I like it a lot.

3. Abbie was having some dinner time angst and it was becoming a problem. She'd whine and pace, want me to put things on her food, and seemed anxious. A friend suggested I try wet food for her, and that did the trick. She eats it right up, then settles down and sleeps. It's more expensive but worth it.

4. I couldn't sleep last night so I watched "The Emperor's New Groove" which was super fun. Very funny with a kind of gonzo humor. A Vulture article about the making of this film has been going around:

The best parts of the article are the parts about Eartha Kitt, who voices the villain in the movie.

5. "Becoming Anne Frank" by Dara Horn at the Smithsonian magazine. A difficult, moving article.

I'm so glad wet food worked for Abbie! It does so much to help with all that ails the furry friends. We're probably switching to it full time.

It been up and down in my neck of the woods but I'm holding steady. I hope the same for you.

I need to make time to read the Emperor's New Groove article. Nothing beats Eartha Kitt telling her henchman to "PULL THE LEVER!". I love deep dives into how a particular piece of media got made. One of my favorites is an oral history of 1997's Cinderella.

What a lovely article, thanks for that! I had that Cinderella on VHS when i was a teenager.

Mega 'gratz on instantiating a new sofa. We're still flipping through catalogs.
