About Sophie:
Mar. 30th, 2012 12:28 amA few folks have asked about the state of Sophie cat, who was diagnosed with cancer back in December. She's still with us, but she's losing weight. I get her a steroid shot every two weeks, and she HATES her carry box. She doesn't seem to mind the shot or the vet's office all that much, but close that carrier door and she's one pissed off putty. However, she is still a joy in my life and we cuddle up every day (as I continue my unemployment marathon). Thank you again to all who offered support...you know who you are.
I took this pic yesterday.

Thank You - and some good news.
Jan. 9th, 2012 12:25 amI would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their kind words and generosity as I deal with Sophie Cat's illness. She is eating better since the first shot of steroids, but the Vet did confirm a diagnosis of Lymphoma. I am bracing myself for the inevitable.
In what is FINALLY some good news. Monday I will start a new job as an administrative assistant at a 5 Doctor medical clinic (IE: taking Appointments, checking insurance, doing filing, etc). This week would have been one year since getting laid off (and breaking my wrist, as some of you may recall).
So again, thanks to all of you. If any of you plan on attending MAL this coming weekend, please look for me and my stack of books in the vendor mall.

The backstory: There's a lady from Florida who takes up residence at a local Dunkin' Donuts parking lot, setting up tent/tarps, tables and a van load of liscenced Phillies - World Series gear. Joel and I stopped to pick up a couple of shirts, and I set them on the love seat once we got home. Within minutes, Sophie had decided they were her new cat mat. But the pose was too priceless to pass up, so out came the camera.
She says "Phillies in seven."
