Here’s my Friday Five – just a little late since RoadRunner wouldn’t let me online last night. Even after 4-5 reboots of the cable modem. I took it as a sign and went to sleep.

1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year?
Advances in the job front – a smooth transition from the FC to my current job (3 weeks of unemployment compared to months, a good thing in this economy.) Getting rid of the IO. Spending lots of quality time with my son. Making lots of new friends through this site.

2. What was your biggest disappointment?
That people can be so insane as to cause the events of 9/11. That the FC, which I once believed in so much, in the end treated so many people badly. The behavior of the IO.

3. Will you be making any New Year’s resolutions?
Self-improvement related things. Being more diligent about exercise. De-cluttering the apartment.

4. Where do you wish you were celebrating?
I think it would be so cool to celebrate New Year’s in NYC. Especially this year.

5. What do you plan to do for New Year’s Eve?
No plans yet. Will probably end up staying home, watching movies, watching the ball drop in Times Square, and enjoying the time with Jason.

Go look! Meryl’s Notes has been converted to MT! YOU GO GIRL! I am so excited – I can leave comments now! YEAH!

I still can’t believe Robyn colored her hair pink. Yes, pink. Don’t believe me? Look here. What a silly girl. *grin* (That was said with much love. I like the pink, much more then I thought I would!)

A huge THANK YOU goes out to Jennifer for sending me goodies in the mail! Feeding my need… you are so good to me! I owe you big time!

Just got back from talking to the vet people, and they said that (like the website says) it sounds like she has tapeworms, and that the other cats can’t get it. It has to go through the flea host, and since they are all flea free that’s not a problem. What I am seeing are just segments. Since this is a new problem, and she is otherwise symptom free, the first day they would even book an appointment for is Monday or Wednesday. Wednesday works better with payday and the money situation, and they reassured me (twice) that she will be just fine if we wait until then to treat her. I don’t need to quarantine her any more – which is also good news because she was driving me crazy this morning scratching at the door as I left. Poor thing – but I didn’t want the other guys to get sick. They also said that when it shows up in humans is only in “very young children” who ingest the fleas – and Jason, at 9 and nearly 100lbs (he’s a tall, big kid) is nowhere near susceptible, and I’m not either. They are all getting a dose of flea treatment on Wednesday just to be safe.
