Elevating the food and making it easier to grab seems to have helped. He tucked right in when I put the food dish on its box, and now he's come back into the living room and is curled up on my lap, quite content.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

I'm glad the vet's suggestion was helpful, Anne.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hooray for a good meal and a contented Jeeves.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's so good to hear, Anne.
Cass, I'm so sorry.
I cannot believe how exhausted I am from this week. Slept a million hours last night, am unclear if I'll do anything before dinner plans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, good, Anne. I'm glad something so simple has a marked positive improvement.
Cass, time is horrible that way, and it's been pretty horrible to you over the past little while. Breaks, world! We need, at least, breaks.
That lyrebird was amazing. For some reason the second camera sound was more impressive.
I have a jar (of pasta sauce) that I can't open. My hands are always moisturised to this side of slick, so not much grip there, but normally I can fend for myself. I've tried heat, popping the bottom of the bottle, as well as my make-do friction addition--using my version of the LiveStrong band (it says Apathy) to improve friction. But nothing. Any in-home trick suggestions? I would also consider buying a simple thingy to do it when I finally leave the house for errands today.

It must be exhausting to be one, the one in my neighborhood calls all day and I've certainly heard it in the night, too.
I think it must be a pleasure to them; like singing karaoke at the gas pump.
For no particular reason at all, I've recently decided that bees are probably blissed out when they're collecting nectar and rolling in pollen and tripping out on wildflower fields. Rather like a Doors after party but with flight.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hit the side of the jar lid with the side of a knife -- the idea is to make little dents, which I think helps pop the seal.

That's my go-to for jars/bottles that won't open. I whack the lid all the way around the lid with a butter knife. I usually leave dents.

Poor kitten cat.
If you have an inexpensive knife, stick the tip between the jar and the lid and pry to break the seal.
