Losing a part of me

I have a plan.

My birthday is this coming Sunday. I have a close friend who is also a professional chef who wants to prepare a birthday meal for me. Unfortunately (only in this context) I will be spending the weekend (starting tomorrow) in Strathroy taking care of my godchildren. As such, he asked if we could do dinner the evening of July 9th (Wednesday). I agreed, and told him that evening would be the swan song – the last meal before the diet begins.

I have said it before. I hope I can stick to it now.
