My mom got back from Japan and, with any luck, things are back to normal. Her chronic cough is getting worse and so it’s time to interrogate the doctor about it. I guess my grandmother is confined to bed but still has an appetite. My mom didn’t have a chance to do anything fun and just took care of my grandmother while she was there.<\/p>\n

I know by my logs that there isn’t anyone reading this blog, but I’m going to pretend there is. And if that pretend person has been paying attention, he\/she would have heard about how I thought my sister was getting a Sony digital camera<\/a> while I was going to get a 500yen pen.

The label says 600yen, but she got it for 20% off.<\/p>\n
