Energy drained pretty quickly yesterday, spent most of the day dozing and doing nothing. (I've realized it takes about an hour and a half to find and read everything new on the internets. After that you kind of just wait around for somebody to update something).
I've been reading a book (can't remember the name) about a whole village dying from the plaque in the 17th century. The narrator is one of the survivors. Pretty uplifting stuff. And I am not being sarcastic, it actually is uplifting to get a glimpse into the tremendous hardships people have had to overcome throughout history. My story would be considered the good times compared to what the narrator has lived through.
So, at the risk of sounding like a whiner, I'll note for the record that my toes and fingers are tingling and mildly numb in a burning sort of way. I have had some mild nausea yesterday and today, but I've been able to fix that by eating something or taking a pill. I'm less tired today than I was yesterday (probably because Luke and I have spent the morning calculating our sales taxes and that's always good a big energy jolt (sarcasm)). I claim I did not sweat last night, Mathilde claims otherwise. At least there was no evidence when I woke up.

Hi Kevin
Your Mom passed along the great news on Friday that your PET scan showed exciting results that the activity is low and the tumor shrinking. Awesome! That must be a great comfort after you've been enduring all these treatments to know they're working! We're so happy.
Brian emailed a link to your blog. Cool! Such a great idea.
Eric and his girlfriend Sylvia are coming up to Portland for a visit this weekend, then my Mom is coming for a long visit a couple days later! I may get to work on another mosaic for Pippa who was invited to submit a proposal to the Designer's Showcase in SF. She will find out if her proposal is selected this Wednesday.
I hope you find some new stuff on the web to read and get excited about. I wish I had a good link for you. Instead, how about true crime? You can read about the poor lady who was strewn about the interstate near my Mom's house in Lackawaxen, PA

Crazy.
Miss you guys. Hi to Mathilde Emily and Anna!
Love Alice
Thanks for the update Alice. Would be really cool with another mosaic, hope the proposal goes through.
And thanks for the link. It really bugs me that people just throw stuff out the window on the highways. Friggin' litterbugs!
Say "Hi" to your Mom - we still need to thank her for the nice Christmas Card.
The girls all say hi.
Love,
Kevin
