she hasn't been to australia since 1996, and for one reason or another i missed her extremely rare performances when she was here - but not this time!! i've been wanting to see melissa etheridge for so long now... once i discovered she'd be touring australia in 2012 and tickets were available online now, i wasn't passing up an opportunity to see one of my all-time favourite singers!!!!! her visits have been few and far between and she may not get back here again - not while i can still enjoy a concert anyway!!!
mind you, the concert isn't until july next year though - i guess at least i've got the anticipation leading up to that sunday in july, the 15th, knowing i'll be having a wonderful time watching melissa, enjoying the music (i'll be getting right into it!!) - and i'll be sharing the evening with a close friend who likes melissa (almost) as much as i do... yes, we'll be there!!!! we've got our tickets!!!! (sorry, just a bit of a brag - and in case you can't tell, i'm excited!!)
what a pick-me-up after a weekend feeling like utter crap - yet another 'lurgy' going around (or perhaps it's the same one that's just been 'lying dormant')... having worked both an early and then a late shift in a row, i made it to work on friday only to have to leave because i felt terrible, with a majorly sore throat, ear ache, pounding head, and by the time i reached home i was coughing and spluttering too... but i did struggle to work on saturday afternoon - they were already one short for the morning shift - the call had gone out during the week but with saturday mornings only paid at 'normal time' up until midday there had been no takers - so i couldn't make them down one for the afternoon too!! but once i got home shadow and i just spent the rest of the weekend as couch fixtures...
i'm a wee bit concerned for me mother too... she's a tad depressed at the moment... her eyesight's degenerating rapidly now due to her chronic kidney disease, and she was told on friday that blindness was more likely a probability rather than a possibility - her anger at the incompetence that led to this prognosis is understandable, as is her depression, and her tears (i've shed a few of those for her too)...
to end this post how could i not include some melissa magic... enjoy, i always do...

I feel for your mother. I don't know how i'd cope with going blind.
Thank you for the video. I'm also a fan.
