We spent the day relaxing with friends. One more board game was played in the morning with Eric and Michelle (we squeezed it in right before lunch). This one is called Carcassonne and it's super fun. You build cities and roads and claim them for yourself with little tokens called Meeples. Well, I should tell you that it's origin is in Germany. Leave it to the Germans to pick mundane tasks for the theme of a game. Seriously, though, this is one of Roberto's favorite games. You've probably guessed by now that I'm a super nerd about board games. I blame Eric and Michelle (yes, I know you're reading this).
Eric and Michelle stayed for lunch and we met up with Kat, Rob, Jim, Jun, baby Sophia, and Martha for a lunch buffet which was so fun. We hadn't hung out with all of them for a long time and it gave me a sense of normalcy that I hadn't felt for a while. Martha is gracing us with her presence for the next two days to lend a helping hand with Adam. :) It's great to have her lovely face around and an extra voice against watching the Top Gear Bolivia Special. We escaped with having watched only the first 20 minutes. Whew.
When Michelle and Eric came the other day, they brought with them a bunch of ginger products: candy, tea and soda! Roberto is not going to be running out of ginger candy any time soon. I truly hope one or all of these helps Roberto through this week.
Speaking of gifts, Roberto received a care package in the mail from the awesome Jessica! She sent a gift card to iTunes and Starbucks (good call on my addiction to coffee, Jessica!). She also sent hard candy made by the creepy Ginger People! OK, they are not creepy, just creepy to me with their little ginger limbs.
Well, Roberto made it to the end of one cycle! He's one-fourth of the way through his chemotherapy treatment. There's nine more weeks to go which seems like forever at this point. This week will be hard but we'll take it one day at a time with all your well-wishes, thoughts, and prayers to keep us going. :)
