Keita eventually ended up going on a drip on Saturday morning. He was starting to feel better but because he hadn't eaten for a few days (which is totally not Keita!) the Doc said it would be quicker to get all the medicines in that way. I'm glad I wasn't there because Keita really has a fear of needles (going back to when he had his ganglion drained twice) and usually just about passes out at the sight of needles. Anyway, it seemed to have done the trick because he is back to his hungry self.

Because it was raining again on Sunday and Keita's baseball match was cancelled, I got to have a lie in and also finally start on packing things. It took almost a day but we got the things in the bookcase and cupboard under the stairs, boxed. It shouldn't have taken so long but there were boxes of photos under the stairs so of course we had to look through a lot of them before realising it would take weeks if we continued that way! At least it's a start.

Yesterday was Setsuo's birthday too but instead of a birthday cake, we opted for Mr Donuts! It's a shame because it's also the 'Setsubun' festival too so what we eat on that day is decided - no going out for dinner to celebrate! It's a long, thick sushi roll which has to be eaten facing a certain direction and not cut up, sardines and also dried beans that you are supposed to throw all over the house and then outside too (I conveniently forgot to buy them although with the house in the mess it is at the moment, it couldn't have got any worse!)
