That's one thing I don't like about flu shots--the achiness lasting for a day or two--and I am taking ibuprofen to counteract that achiness so I can sleep well tonight. Thanks for letting me share.

Awww!!! I hope you are feeling better!!!!

I had to work today and found out I'm getting a whole bunch of extra hours next week which is great, but I'm a little stressed because I open the store by myself tomorrow morning and will be by myself the whole day, and I hope I don't mess up!! And I close the following night by myself too, which I have never done before....yikes!!!

Oh! And someone came in w/ a Coach bag tonight--a green suede soho flap satchel--very cute on her. I don't see many up here in the sticks!

I can't believe I've had this bag over a week and I still love it as much as the day I got it (sometimes I get over them too quickly - you know, the thrill of the search!). Hoping you're all having a good day. p.s. This is a great thread!

Ohhhhhh I love Julianne.....what color do you have?

Thank you Laltiero85 for your well wishes!!!

Unfortunately, I was recuperating and then I accidentally kicked off the heavy feather duvet off my bed while sleeping last night and caught a cold. Ironically, the flu shot lowered my immune system trying to make influenza antibodies and the extra drop in temperature made me sick. I had to work today all day and I took lots of Cold FX and Advil Gelcaps but they did very little. I'm going to bed early tonight and see if I could work tomorrow.

I hope the flu shot was a good idea in the long run. Can you believe that the flu shot made my immune system susceptible to catching a cold? How ironic is that????

My right arm is actually a lot more sore but last night I had to lie on my back to sleep (which I'm totally not used to) because no matter what side I turned to it was painful :( hopefully tonights better though.

I hope you don't get sick from all the shots x_TaNgErInE_x like I did! I know what you mean about buying regular price and then seeing them on sale. That's probably why my first Coach bag purchase is the only one that's regular price. If I miss out on a bag I love, I just allow that to pass and see if I can find it in the outlet. If not, it wasn't meant to be. Since I got a few great deals from the Yorkdale sale, I accept those are my chosen ones and learned to enjoy them. That's just me. I am happy with that decision since I don't live near an outlet and great sales are hit and miss for me.

Yesterday, I was desperate and Googled using keywords, "cold nasal clean" and discovered "neti pot" as a way to clean the nose. Basically, you add salt to room temperature water into this pot. It looks like a small teapot but you put the spout into one nostril and tip the head and the liquid comes out of the other nostril. The liquid goes right through the sinus cavities in the face and washes out all the guck.

I tried it with a plastic squeeze bottle and it worked like a charm. I slept like a baby and woke up with a clear head. I was expecting my nasal cavities to be infected (as they always are every year) but they were clear. I had to go to work today so I tried it first thing in the morning, just before starting work, during an afternoon break, and probably before I head off to bed.

It's weird, I know, but I was totally desperate. The alternative is to call in sick, stay home, cough and sneeze while my body suffers fevers and chills. I was experiencing fevers and chills this morning before going to work and almost changed my mind. When I cleaned my nose before work and during my break, the fever and chills disappeared and my immune system was getting stronger again--in only one day. Woweee, I am a convert from hereon.

So, I will carry the squeeze bottle to work tomorrow and do this again to fight off the remains of this cold. Yesterday, I thought I was a goner. It was starting off pretty fierce and I thought this would put me under for at least a week and possibly suffer from a severe sinus infection that may blossom into bronchitis. I am glad it didn't. I hate being sick.

So, that's my story and thank you for allowing me to share. And, no, I don't have pictures or a video of myself shoving a squeeze bottle up one nostril with liquid pouring out from the other nostril. If you're curious, please type in "neti pot" on YouTube and see others do this.

I know I still have a cold but I feel 1000% better than I did yesterday and as for the fever and chills, I feel a tiny smidgen of it and know that my body is fight off an infection. I am currently taking ColdFX as well to keep this evil cold demon at bay.

^^^That's really cool, i've heard of people doing that, but I wasn't sure if it worked or not...good to know it does!

[LAltiero85]

It's weird and I was totally desperate. I went to work today and my strength has returned. I think it's true that it helps to reduce a cold by at least 30%. It would have been an awful long week (or two) if I allowed this cold to take over and put me out of commission.

I highly recommend this treatment and I'm back up to snuff!

Congrats on having a day off and enjoying your Gigi. I wouldn't worry too much about scratches because you can Apple condition it out and Coach seems to 'pre-scratch' the leather for decoration. I had a day off last Thursday and won't have another day off until next Tuesday. So, I will be pacing myself and look forward to that day off.

Just wanted to share my bad experience at my salon.....my normal eyebrow waxing person is no longer employed where I go, mind you I have waited like a month (they looked really hairy).... so some other woman did them, she is always there, deals with many customers and I figured what could go wrong?????

Let's just say I am extremely upset , they look horrible and look totally different from each other , I like fuller eyebrows and she completely thinned them I hope they grow out fast and I will have to try and get comfortable with another company...

Oh I'm sorry sweetie!!! That stinks...I know what you mean, I only like going to one salon and would cry if my usual lady wasn't there anymore. I hope it gets better!
