I did something really delicious today: I spent about an hour and a half just poking around the library.  I’m always amazed at the connections and insights my mind makes when I’m not working on anything specific, a good reminder for those of us with over-scheduled lives (think of that the next time you make a to-do list).

What I stumbled upon was Temple Grandin’s book Animals Make Us Human: Creating the Best Life for Animals.  You see, my cat has been stressed due to a recent (bad) vet visit and the multiple house showings we’ve had in an effort to sell our house.  I was delighted to find Grandin not only had really good insights into what was going on with our cat, but terrific insights into people too.
