Merry Christmas ladies. Wanted to finally share my latest chanel purchase which I had for over a month but just finally opened last night. Now I just need the perfect Chanel Tweed

I just love those rainbow sequins! Great purchase, @missie1 .

Sharing my beautiful Burberry present from Mr. J. Definitely my favorite present!

View attachment 5281529

Oh, I love this! So classy, and great with your outfit. Also it looks as though it will be a very useful design. Phone in the outside pocket, right? And the handles are an unusual shape, which gives it visual interest.

Did Mr. J pick this out himself? Or did Santa whisper in his ear?

 

[ElainePG]

That was my reaction when I saw it. I just knew it was sold out and I stumbled across it and knew it was meant to be

Awwww… it's sold out? I was about to go over to the Burberry site…

 

[ElainePG]

Oh, yuck. I've got pneumonia. Oxygen saturation 88, so breathing is an interesting proposition. Hah.

The good news, though… it's not Covid. I've had the rapid test and the PCR, and they both came back negative.

My pulmonologist has me on 10 days of a strong antibiotic plus 5 days of prednisone. My face is swelling up like a balloon, and I have dimples!

I'm trying to look on the positive side, though. So many people are so sick, and I have something treatable. Plus a husband who loves me, and a comfy house to recuperate in. And I was healthy on Christmas (my birthday ), so we were able to bring my 97-year-old Mom over from Assisted Living for a couple of hours. She enjoyed herself, and we enjoyed her.

Since it's almost 2022 is a new Thread going to be started for next year?

Oh, I hope so. This is the only thread I go to on TPF!

Also, are we going to do end-of-year summaries?

Glad it’s not Covid but be very careful with the pneumonia and get plenty of rest. Feel better soon

I'm so sorry. Feel better soon! Did you ever get the pneumonia vaccine? Is that just for viral pneumonia? I got the first one. I'm supposed to go back next year for the second one.

So sorry you're sick. Hope you recover quickly.

Happy (belated) birthday!

OMG, I am sooooo sorry to hear this! I understand that he tested positive, but is he also feeling sick? I know he was really down and out with his first case, but that was long before vaccinations. I'm hoping that this second case won't be as bad.

Sending good thoughts to your entire family. I'm livid on behlaf of the people who do all the RIGHT things (as opposed to those who don't… do NOT get me started!) and get sick anyway. This virus is relentless.

I feel exactly the same way.

I have to wonder if ultimately we will find a genetic component to vulnerability because he’s already had it and is vaxxed + boosted and got it again. And, he’s having tough (but doesn’t look at all life threatening) symptoms again. In contrast, DD has asthma and hasn’t even had a cold or asthma attack in 3 years because of active quarantining.

I remembered you have a BTW! Is yours getting saggy at the corners? I have to keep mine full or it looks a little deflated which isn’t helping my irritation with it. I’ve never had a bag sag / lose shape on me before.

And, I’m so sorry you have pneumonia. I had it once many years ago after a bad flu and it’s no joke. Every single breath hurt. Hoping for better days soon.

 

[dcooney4]

What a mess! So sorry your Christmas got dunked up.

Thank you! At least my other son who is away from home is starting to feel better, so I can get a good nights sleep and not worry so much tonight.

 

[Sparkletastic]

Thank you. I am only adding special Chanels going forward as well. No more classics for me

I think that’s a smart move. You have the basics covered. And, we have so little occasion to wear any of our bags compared to pre-covid. Plus, how many flap bags can we own before it gets boring?

Only get what you have to have (functionally) or have a passion for.

Since it's almost 2022 is a new Thread going to be started for next year?

Anyone can start the thread or do monthly challenges. So go fo it! @eggtartapproved started the threads years ago but hasn’t been around much lastely.

Thank you! At least my other son who is away from home is starting to feel better, so I can get a good nights sleep and not worry so much tonight.

I’m glad he’s doing better. It’s hard worrying about our “babies” when they’re no longer at home.
