A new chapter

It was a stressful week last week - preparing my little one (16) to leave home for the year to play hockey in another province. Ugh... I was doing ok until the last few days when his girlfriend would come visit. I could clearly see the distress in both of them as they looked at the dwindling days and hours ahead of them.   He was strong and brave though and when we dropped him at the airport on monday, he gave us all hugs and then quickly turned away to go through security. 

I know it was because he was likely crying and didn't want us to see him. But chatting with him later that night he sounded really good. I'm very proud of him.  We head to see him on friday and will spend a week with him and then I will visit each month. The 7 months should go by quickly.... at least I hope so. I miss him already.

There were a few celebrations this week. We had the boys going away party with the addition of dad's birthday party. I only had a sliver of cake (it was really good)!   But I did tend to drink a bit more wine than I usually do on the weekend/weeknight.  Next week probably won't be very good for that either.

It's my time of the month this week as well- started yesterday. Oh yay!

Oh and got a call back from the lab that my blood test numbers were out of whack and I need to revisit the doctor. Great... it's my WBC. It's high again at 11.2.  I was reading around though and it looks like that can increase when the cholesterol also increases due to this diet. I guess I'll get retested. I feel awesome though, so I don't think it's an infection....

I always hover between 8.5 ad 11.5... I've been as high as 15.6 before as well.

Off next week to see little man so  not sure I'll update but will try. Even if it's just a sentence or two.

Weight this week was down 2 lbs... I need to get new bras!!  Which is great... and not so great. Hate bra shopping
