Silent Night?

We're closing in on Christmas, and as luck would have it, Jim's chemo is in its off week, so we can avoid the roads clogged with shoppers and snowbanks.  It has snowed since Friday (for our more distant readers) and the song "Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow" is really beginning to rub me the wrong way.

Jim's experiencing  a new set of symptoms, with some numbness and tingling in his hands and feet, and some "different" feelings after this course of chemo.  He is colder than normal, and has lots of unexplained back pain (given that he has enough meds to down a Clydesdale.)  Along with that has come some sense of frustration at not being able to sit at the computer as long as he would like.  He has done yeoman's duty going through literally cartons of papers, sorting and filing. Both of us are life-long hoarders, and feel it is important to get on top of this.

Hope this Christmas is wonderful for those of you who celebrate it.  Remember to treasure those who matter to you, both the young and the old... the ones you love, the ones who challenge you and those who need you.   They are the very essence of life.

Merry Christmas... from Jim, Linda, Lynn and the gang, Laura, Drew and Matthew
