Better, Yes/No - Here's Hoping!

Today is the turning point, I know because I've been through this hundreds of times.  The head is feeling better, the chest a bit worse.  What that means is that either the chest will start to feel better tomorrow and I'm on the mend - OR - the chest will continually get worse through the night and tomorrow I'll have the full blown chest version of the head 2 days ago.  I'm hoping for the first option.  

I've sort of lost track of time the last few days but this much I do remember, I GOTTA WII !  Yes, that's right, after much deliberation I dove into my 'techy' fund and finally made the purchase.  The 'techy' fund has been building (ever so slowly) for a purchase that I just am too embarrassed to mention atm, but seeing as though I'm still trying to convince myself I really don't want/need this embarrassing purchase, I figured that draining the fund a little would make me take more time to think about it.  Plus, I really have wanted a Wii since they came out and they have either been non-existant in shops or available and the 'techy' fund too low.  The Wii's arrival coincided with the head/chest thing's arrival so I've not had the energy to give it a full workout . . . yet. 

As the cold was just settling in, and I wasn't feeling too bad yet, we were out and about this past Sunday getting bits and bobs when I made the decision to go for the Wii.  We checked several places and all were out of stock except for Tesco so the Wii was bought from them and the various Wii add-ons at Comet and Currys.  After getting it all connected (simple) BH and I gave it a go . . . for several hours  :-D  I can tell already that it will get much use and really like the idea of being able to "play" video games while at the same time be out of the chair and moving about.  Atm, bowling has got to be my favourite with golf a close second.  We had to go back out after the main purchase because we needed another HDMI cable and BH wanted (you could just tell) PDC World Championship Darts 2008.  I've not really tried it, and he seems to have trouble releasing his darts.  Hmmm..... lol

So all in all, I am happy to have parted with a portion of the 'techy' fund for the Wii.  Long may it bring us joy and that little bit of extra calorie burning activity!

The rest of my time has been spent either reading, tv or dozing although I did manage to get a loaf made, the bedding changed, meals made and an occasional tidy up here and there.  Now I'm off to get caught up on emails and have a play with Evernote - great little program for note taking and "clipping" that I used constantly on Windoze but wasn't available for Macs, 'tis now!  It seems as though it's even been improved since I last used it.  I've got a few invites left should anyone need one.  Just leave a comment with a name and email address to add.
