I'm glad you have a fun treat planned. This will pass! </p> <p>Take care of yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-check-in#post-1157284 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:52:11 +0000 Suz 1157284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you're going to get a little trip and some sunshine! It sounds as if you've really been struggling and you deserve a break! Crossing fingers that some of those items work out for you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I hear you on the pink eye -- it's a horrid infection to deal with. I've had those colds that seem to morph from one infection to another -- so upsetting! Hang in there and get well soon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-check-in#post-1157212 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 07:02:01 +0000 deb 1157212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where in Sacramento are you going? I live in the Sacramento area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-check-in#post-1157205 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 06:40:43 +0000 Gigi 1157205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you have your trip to look forward to! Being sick for such a long time is so draining.</p> <p>I once had something called iritis--an inflammation of the iris. My eye was pink and hurt like heck. I wasn't able to wear my contacts and had to wear an old, old pair of eyeglasses that was terribly dated and made me look horrible. Eye problems are just no fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-check-in#post-1157196 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 05:55:07 +0000 LACeleste 1157196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi</p> <p>I hope you feel better soon! Yes, the slump&nbsp;is temporary. &nbsp;Better days are coming!</p> <p>Just keep thinking of your trip. &nbsp;Very exciting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-check-in#post-1157193 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 05:52:53 +0000 Deborah 1157193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness life can be challenging sometimes but it's good that you see there is a light at the end of the tunnel.&nbsp; Take care and enjoy the shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-check-in#post-1157189 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 05:23:46 +0000 Caro in Oz 1157189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Life eh?&nbsp;I was going to suggest is there something you can do or fun, just for you but I see you've found something Glad you have something to look forward to - hang in there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-quick-check-in#post-1157186 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 05:20:15 +0000 Ariadne 1157186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I've been very sporadic with my forum posting lately, and I just wanted to say a quick off-topic hello while I have the chance, and, to be honest, steal a chance to vent a bit.</p> <p>I've been sick (my doctor says it's adenovirus, which is apparently a particularly nasty cold?) since the end of November. &nbsp;The most recent symptom (they seem to change every few days) is&nbsp;some form of pinkeye/conjunctivitis, which means I can't wear mascara--and I feel like a corpse without it. &nbsp;My eyelashes are literally invisibe in their natural state.&nbsp;Ugh. &nbsp;My attempt to get my hair back to its natural ash blonde didn't quite work and I'm unhappy with the red tones in it. &nbsp;Plus I gained back all the weight I recently lost, due to not having enough energy to watch my calories and cook properly. </p> <p>On top of it all, I'm taking an emotionally and temporally draining online course that relates to one of my children's adoption and cultural heritage, and that kills most of my "screen time energy". &nbsp; None of that is huge in the grand scheme of things, but on top of other long-term ongoing challenges in a few other areas in my life, it's wearing me down.</p> <p>To sum up,&nbsp;I feel frumpy, tired, cranky, and unattractive. &nbsp;The upside is that I KNOW it's all temporary! &nbsp;This too shall pass. &nbsp;I'm keeping my spirits up by enjoying everyone else's outfits and posts, even if I don't have the energy to post comments too often.&nbsp;</p> <p>I saved the best for last, though: in a couple of weeks I'm going to Sacramento for three days, and I've ordered a bunch of not-available-in-Canada&nbsp;Angie's Picks (and a few other goodes) from Nordies to try on while I'm there. &nbsp;Even if none of them work, I'm excited! &nbsp;Oroblu and Commando&nbsp;tights, the pretty side slit tunic sweater in my newly determined colours, the VC scarf, and a few other goodies. &nbsp;Fingers crossed I come home with something. :)</p> <p>Hugs to all. </p>
