One of life`s great mysteries...

How is it that my son was perfectly healthy on saturday morning when my husband took him to Kanoya with him but now he has a rotten cold and horribly runny nose?! I wouldn`t worry too much but this happens EVERY SINGLE time we go. Also, my husband has instructed me that I MUST take him to an ENT specialist (not sure why it would be an ENT thing but there you go) because he was coughing at night while at MIL`s place. Last week he didn`t cough at night once. He goes to Kanoya and he is coughing, does my husband not consider that it might be a result of the room we sleep in at MIL`s house being full of dust-covered ornaments!?!? Obviously not, it MUST be something that can be cured by a doctor. I won`t be taking J to the doctor until tomorrow at the earliest because he still has meds from last week and I know they will just give him the same ones but more than that, I didn`t hear him coughing last night and I want to see if he coughs tonight before I take him anywhere. I figure that if it is an allergy to my MIL`s house, it is going to clear up when we move home anyway and if it doesn`t, we can see a doctor there. Apart from having to deal with my husband being in a foul mood this morning, I have had a lovely couple of days. On saturday morning I hung out with my friend Jenn and then I had my hair cut and dyed. It doesn`t look that different but I like the colour as I had some red-ish streaks put in it as well as the blonde highlights. I crashed out early on saturday night but then I woke up and couldn`t go back to sleep so I went to hang out at my friend`s bar for a few hours. I got home at about 4am and crashed out until 9ish.. ooh, which reminds me, another sucky thing about the weekend is that I got caught using my mobile phone while driving. It is ironic/ sod`s law because I never pick up while driving normally but I wanted to ask Jenn what exit to get off the expressway on! A few seconds on the phone cost me 6000yen (about 60 US dollars) and 1 point off my license. I am planning to pay it but there is also a part of me that is thinking that as I am leaving the country, maybe I shouldn`t bother! ;-) However, as Daisuke will still be here, I guess I have to make sure that I don`t make trouble for him!! Yesterday was a really good day. I had lunch and went for karaoke with my friend Hazuki and a couple of other friends. I LOVE Karaoke but don`t get to go very often so it was so much fun! We even went and took print club pictures which I haven`t done in a LONG time.. we are definitely getting old though as none of us could work out how to use the machines so our pictures are quite hilarious and there isn`t a single one that we are all in at the same time! We also had coffee and chilled out for a while and then Hazuki and I met Jenn and we took her to Beatnik for her first trip out since Julian was born!! It was alot of fun, especially as we haven`t been out together in so long but there was a weird guy there who kept trying to talk to us/ join our conversation so the dynamic was a little bit ruined by that. Jenn`s husband brought Julian to pick her up and then Hazuki and I left them so they could have some time by themselves and we headed to another bar. I ended up coming home about 1am so I am a little bit tired as I was awake at 6.30am this morning (for some reason I rarely sleep past 6ish at the moment, I guess because I have so much going on in my head!) I have a crazy week ahead with work and packing and also seeing as much of the people I love as I can. Leaving is so hard but I have to keep reminding myself that this is the best thing...
