Not a great deal has been happening lately (not that it does normally) and I have been really tired and lethargic which is probably mostly due to the weather - hot and humid when it isn't raining - and also the fact that there is so much to be done.

We have finally decided on a date for moving and are having a company come to take all the heavy stuff. It's a bit of a cheapo which means we have to pack all the boxes ourselves and the date is July 13th so we have very little time to get it all done! No doubt we will manage.

We have already sorted out Setsuo's father's rooms although haven't even touched the kitchen yet and all the bags of rubbish will be taken away tomorrow. The bed (which was rented) will be taken away this afternoon and Setsuo has promised to start on the kitchen on Sunday while I'm at the baseball. Meanwhile I *should* be at home packing but as always am procrastinating.

Yesterday, I also told the nursery school that I wanted to finish working there but have said I'll continue until they find someone else. That is a big weight of my mind and no doubt the lessons will go great from now on.

We have had the wall built into the house and although it does take a bit of the living area away, it was still a good idea. Now we just need to get it wallpapered and we are all set.

The other day, Keita heard from one of his team mates (whose father is the 3rd year coach) that the coach from a big baseball school in Hiroshima has his photograph. I don't know if the 3rd year coach had approached him or it was the other way around but they now have him on file!! Because of all the rain, all the matches have been delayed so hopefully they will get to play the last match of this tournament on Sunday and then the BIG tournament starts July 21st.

I have also got all the tickets for NZ - not a great time to go since we'll have just moved but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless!
