My Mom went home from her week long visit this morning. My sister also had a surprise visit. She was here with work (she owns an insurance brokerage) and had to sign some stuff at the lawyers. She was here less than 24 hours but it was nice regardless. Now my house is quiet. I miss them but this too is nice.

My sister also left a little something behind. She was just getting over the stomach flu before coming and now I think I have it. That’s just what I need, morning sickness AND the flu.

I also found out why I get sick all the time. Mom was surprised I didn’t already know this because it had been discussed all my life. I guess I wasn’t listening. Basically I have a low white blood cell count. White Blood Cells are what attacks illness. An average Non sick person has an average count around 10 and my mom said mine has always hovered around 1.8 and barely makes it up to 10 when I’m sick. She said she had immunity testing done on me when I was young and I’m fine, it’s just my normal. Kind of like my blood pressure being low all the time (which averages 100/66 but at last weeks appointment was 98/55). To sum it all up I’m just more prone to get sick. I don’t care one way or another but it’s interesting to know that anyway.
