We had a "winter" party at the zoo for our department, and it included white elephant gifts. I ended up with this awesome "comfort wrap" thing that you can freeze or microwave...but essentially it's the exact same thing as a weighted lap pad. I am SUPER excited about it 
I'll be taking it to work tomorrow, since most of my day will be spent at a desk

For the first time in DAYS my nose is destuffed. Amazing. It didn't even take 10 minutes for it to start working. The stuff I was taking before was just dextromethorphan and guaifenesin, this stuff has phenylephrine added. Good thing it works, or I'd have to go get the big guns from the pharmacy counter and sign my life away or whatever t is they make you do to get it :lol-sign:

LOL give a blood sample, fingerprints, background check and a promise for your left leg if you abuse it
So now for the medicine illiterate like myself lol... what would the brand name be for something with Phenylephrine in it? Nothign worse than trying to sleep with a stuffed up nose, then you drool all over yourself because you have to breath through your mouth. so something that actually works would be nice

BUT, my brother was the one the suggested the phenylephrine, and he took it in pill form as Tylenol Cough and Cold.
Until this point I was under the impression that guaifenesin (Mucinex) was a decongestant. Turns out it's just an expectorant.

DogSport Magazine is having a big overstock tunnel sale, and I've been wanting a second tunnel for AGES and it's recommended for Trkman's foundations course... sooooo I just ordered a second tunnel.
I'm looking at getting a refurbished Canon Rebel T3 for around $270, kit lens and all. Realistically, I KNOW this is a VERY GOOD PRICE and I need to get it NAO.
But I'm totally not used to this sticker shock thing when it comes to cameras.
But I know I'm probably going to get it anyway. Yay awesome new camera!

I just discovered my old point and shoot has like a bajillion manual settings and modes. Including a recording mode. I've been shooting in auto this entire time, and I thought that's all there was.
WTF.
I've only had this thing for 4 years now. No biggie. Just discovered this thing was way more amazing than I ever thought it was. Way to be slow on the uptake, there, Liz.
Way.
To.
Go.

On the other hand, if it is a placebo effect, I DON'T CARE, I CAN BREATHE. If a placebo can make my nose unclog, then by all means, GIVE ME A PLACEBO. Just...don't tell me that's what it is
LOL that's my feeling about the homeopathics I use - DH is all "they're worthless" and I'm all "I don't care WHY they work, but they WORK! Hush!"
