After a weekend of having to be up at 3.50am (both days) it's taken me this long to recover! BB had games over in Shiga so they had be at their ground for a 5.30am start. The first day it rained so rather than them having to spend a 2 hr journey wet, I drove them there so didn't get back until nearly 6 and didn't dare go back to sleep incase I went into a deep sleep and couldn't wake for my morning class. Next day it was fine though, so when Keita left the house around 4.40, I gave him time to arrive (in case I got a phone call to say that he'd forgotten something) and then went back to bed! It's probably the first time in about a year that I've been able to sleep as long as I wanted to so I made the most of it and didn't get up until after 10.30!

Setsuo had taken his father to see his aunt so I was on my own which was also bliss. In the afternoon I cajoled Aya and Daisuke into going to Ikea - which was nothing to rave about - and then on to another home furnishing store. Although there were loads of things I should have been doing, doing nothing was much much better!

This weekend I'll be helping to set up the Expo venue, going out for dinner and then staying overnight in a hotel nearby. No baseball, but it's still another early morning because another teacher and I have to do an orientation at 8.30am for the Japanese volunteers. Let's just hope that there are no major hangovers! The Expo will begin at 9 and go on until about 6. There is another meal after it's finished but I haven't decided if I'm going or not, I'll see how I feel at the end of the day.
