I can't believe we're a third of the way into September already. The cool mornings and nights are a welcome change but it's seems to have arrived much too early this year. Probably because the kids are all older so summer holidays are no longer a challenge plus having a week lopped off the end because of the flu scare in June(?) made summer just whizz by.

This week I've been trying to get myself a bit more organized because my Mum is going to arrive for a holiday tomorrow but with Keita and Setsuo both being ill, not a lot has happened. (Keita is now over the flu and went back to school today and poor Setsuo is still suffering from stomach pains. He's been to so many doctors but they've finally booked him to have a gastroscopy (camera) on Saturday so hopefully they'll find out what is causing all the pain). Luckily I don't have classes tonight so it'll be a mad clean up all round!

Kana needs to get one of her applications for Uni in the post by today and one of the forms has been going back and forth between her and her teacher - he wouldn't okay it until she'd written it to his satisfaction - I got a phone call at 2pm to say that it's finally finished but because I have classes from 3.30 and her school can take up to an hour to get there, Setsuo has had to go and get it to post it off. Hopefully it's going to be a lot less eventful than it was with Lisa's application - again, Lisa had left it to the last minute and on the way to the PO, Setsuo got knocked off his bicycle in a 'hit and run' accident and ended up in hospital for over a month. Same Uni, same course, same deadline but hopefully a different outcome for Setsuo at least!

Edited - the application got posted off okay and Setsuo also made it home without any mishaps this time!
