Day 260 - Finally feeling a bit better ...

It's been a long haul and I am still coughing and feeling not quite 100% but definitely better than I was.  I thought I could get back here Thursday but had a relapse and didn't make it.  Having been trying to get lots of rest and stay indoors.  The poplar fuzz and lilacs blooming are killing me and the meds aren't working like they should be.  Hopefully an easy weekend will make for getting better.

I took a suitcase of 8 mm home movies to get put onto DVD this week.  This is a gift for my parents for their 60th anniversary.  Didn't know what else to get them, I sure hope they enjoy looking back at about 10 years of their lives.

I'm playing on the computer this morning until Garth Brooks in Vegas tickets go on sale.  I'm going to Vegas in September with my niece, sister and soon to be daughter-in-law.  My niece wants to see Garth so badly so I want to get tickets as he is playing the weekend we will be there.  It will be a big surprise for her as I don't plan on telling I have the tickets till we actually get to the show.  Keep your fingers crossed that I can pull this off.

Breakfast
1 Tassimo Latte
4 oz yogurt
1 cup grapefruit sections/juice

Well I managed to get my Garth Brooks tickets but screwed up royally.  I wanted them for Oct 1st or 2nd as we were going to go from Sept 30 to Oct 4th.  I got so excited that I forgot to check the right date and ended with tickets for September 11th instead.  Good thing I hadn't booked flights or hotel rooms yet.  Just waiting on my niece to get back to me, I think she is done in Kentucky at the end of August so hopefully all will work out.  Not going to be as much of a surprise as I wanted but she will be happy just the same.
