Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[Laura Etchison]

This is so OT, but this is my happy place, so I'm going to be a gwumpy bear here, haha.

Ever have one of those days? Today:

My puppy and boyfriend are sick (had to take one to the vet, the other has the flu) They both scared the CRAP out of me. Puppy was throwing up, boyfriend was shivering so hard he was shaking. He's been sleeping but I'm wondering if I need to take him to the hospital in case it's more than the flu?? Opinions?

My computer is clearly on its last legs and I need to come up with the money to buy a new one STAT

I lost TWO Fresh lip balms in ONE DAY and now I'm totally out.

Between everyone being sick yesterday and my OWN dermatologist appointment for my Humira shot for my psoriasis that took HOURS, I forgot my mom's birthday until 8pm. I know she didn't mind, but I basically cried myself to sleep in guilt.

There was a limited-edition indie makeup set coming out today. I was told it was going on sale 8amPST. turns out it came out 6amEST, so I missed out. I REALLY wanted it.

BLAH FOR TODAY!

It has GOT to get better from here!!

I don't have any advice for the BF but I have a few tricks for sick puppies.  I don't know how old s/he is, but if puppy is old enough, you can always try canned plain pumpkin to settle the tummy.  I use it all the time when one of mine has a tummy issue.  Three of my mutts have iron stomachs most of the time (life on the streets, I guess), but I have one (sweet Lily) who is super sensitive.  

Some people like to use rice and green beans for their dogs, but I am lazy and would prefer to open a can and be done with it.  Dog #3 (Truman) SHOULD have an upset tummy -- he ATE all of the packaging from my $175 Ulta order.  D@$%# DOG!!  

I'm sending good vibes to you!  Take care!

I'm so sorry you're having such a crappy day!! I hope it gets better for you pronto, and puppy and bf are both feeling better.

YOU GUYS ARE SO SWEET. Seriously, I just wanted to rant. You know how writing it down always helps you blow off steam? That's really what I was looking for, and my Facebook can be... well, just not nearly as friendly and helpful as this place is haha, and they especially would roll their eyes at me for even MENTIONING make up.

Hugs @@ohsailor Hang in there.. It gets better in a couple of days.

We just went through a cycle of flu with both the kids & hubby and now finally me. Hoping tomorrow will be a better day 

I am so, so, so ready to have kids, but whenever I hear about entire families getting the flu/sick I can ALREADY feel overwhelmed. Seriously you- AND ALL THE MOMS OUT HERE- are so strong, I don't know how you guys do it.

I agree that it's a great excuse to buy more! And it's essentially a necessity so I will, but I REALLY have to go on a (very) low-buy aside from SS right now. 

@@Bikerchic the puppy is doing better already /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> He has a ton of health issues- I adopted him when he had pneumonia and was given a 50/50 chance to live as a puppy, and then the summer before last he was diagnosed with diabetes and his blood sugar was SO high and he was given a 15% expectancy to live. That was, without a doubt, the worst week of my life. I can't talk about it, but I really thought he was gone. So whenever he gets sick at all, he HAS to go to the vet. NO chances. 

I'm not sure about my boyfriend's fever. He feels warm. It was strange, though- he didn't seem bad in the morning, but by the time he got home, the first thing he did was lean over the kitchen counter and start to SHAKE from the shivers so badly. I gave him thermaflu and something for the pain (says he's achey all over very bad). he's been wrapped up sleeping since, moaning a lot in his sleep in pain /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I know they can't do much/anything for flu, but I'm worried if it turns into pneumonia or something like that.

It seems to be a bad flu year. I don't usually get it and I caught it and its been hell to shake honestly. Z and Hubby blew right through it thankfully. It's awful when all you want to do is curl up and die and the little one is sick too.

If your BF doesn't start feeling better by tomorrow or his fever increases I would call and speak to the nurse. They are usually very good with deciding/diagnosing if you need to see the doctor now or wait. And warm fluids especially chicken soup really help my family. Sending Good vibes your way @ohsailor. Things will get better.

Keep checking it keeps coming in and out of stock. Hope you get lucky and are able to buy it.

Yep, I keep doing that.

Glad to hear your puppy is doing better. Hope your boyfriend is going to get better soon. It's a terrible feeling when your loved ones (pets or humans) are sick.

This definitely cheered me up today /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Also y'all are enabling me talking about those SiJCP sets... would be great, esp considering some pieces could go to SS...

But I digree: here it is, that new Hourglass eye shadow palette I got! It'll be in  other colors soon (sorry for pic quality, I'm shaky) They're nicely pigmented.

Edit: My phone sucks. Not showing the colors true. The darkest color is a deep brown, but nowhere close to that black it looks in the photo.

 

[tweakabell]

MMM Ice cream /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Very cool palette

 

[dancersmum]

@@ohsailor - hope things get better fast....OMG that is a pretty palette!

it looks like flowing lava, or sand dunes! or the greenland ice sheet. 

i hope you're feeling better ohsailor!

I'm sorry for posting so OT, but for some reason I can't edit my post right now!

 
FOR THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT BOYFRIEND/POOCH:

Spoiler

Pooch is great /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> [SIZE=14.3999996185303px]Also, my boyfriend seems to be getting better already. All he does is sleep still of course, but he's not moaning in pain. My biggest fear is that they'll give him antibiotics when he DOESN'T need them (a lot of doctors feel pressured to prescribe *something* for a patient for fear the patient will complain the doctor isn't doing anything) and I know that's really bad in general. I know the flu is a virus, and antibiotics does nothing for it- but that major bacterial "complications that can be quite serious" can occur from the flu (says WebMD). He's not too high feverish wise, so for now we're sticking with the OTC meds. I'm keeping close eyes on him though, I had an ex boyfriend whose mother died, while in the hospital hooked up to machines to help her breathe and being pumped full of antibiotics- from pneumonia, because she waited too long to go see them when she had it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Pneumonia is no joke. Whenever my parents get the flu, I'm essentially worried sick myself about them (they're both people who haven't smoked in 2 years, but smoked for, like, 40 years each before this). [/SIZE]

So pretty! I'm waiting until January, and hoping some of the colors will show up at Space.NK because I have a nice reward credit waiting for me. I'm not going to be able to get one at full price but with some $$ off? Heck yeah!

That is a beautiful palette, enjoy!

 

[wadedl]

That Hourglass palette is even prettier than I thought!!!!!

There is this medicine I give my son called Umcka and ever since I found it he has not had an asthma attack, 3 years now, he used to get a cold and it would turn into an asthma attack before that. They make a cold and a flu one but I think the cold one works better especially if you get queasy easily.

Ohh, this is so pretty. Thanks for sharing the photo! I came thisclose to preordering this until I realized I was about to spend $60 on 5 eyeshadows when I already have enough to last me forever. It's just gorgeous though.

 

[Kookymama]

@@ohsailor - so pretty. I can't wait to hear what you think of colors and quality.  I think I want this beauty.

I am glad to hear your pup and boyfriend are doing much better. I'm sorry you had such an awful day!

To cheer you up, two quick stories:

I'm with my family on vacation in savannah and this morning my mom asked if she could borrow my rouge and I said 'rouge' ? And then I realized she was talking about blush! Well, maybe you had to be there because it doesn't sound too funny now that I've written it.

The other is I was on a river boat and there was a crusty old shrimp boat docked which was named the 'Lorac' and all I could picture was it fishing for the mega pro palette. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That hourglass eyeshadow palette is gorgeous!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see what the other colors will be. Did you swatch them yet? Are they buttery? Are the comparable to previous hourglass eyeshadows? Could you take a picture of it in your hand for scale? I know it has to be small but I can't help but picture it the size of the ambient lighting palette.

 

[eastofthesun]

it looks like flowing lava, or sand dunes! or the greenland ice sheet.

i hope you're feeling better ohsailor!

A woman after my own heart!!! Hehe we geologists have to stick together. I love the image of flowing lava. It also looks like ripples on a shore.

hahaha yeah we do!  :wub:   ripples on the shore! of course! now it reminds me of a preserved slab of rock with ripples. the kind they pass around in sedimentary structures class.  hahaha

 

[Bikerchic]

That Hourglass palette is gorgeous!  I always feel almost guilty using products that are so pretty because I hate messing up the design.  Yeah, I'm weird like that :blush:
