I've been having a terrible week, with a bad case of the flu. I finally took Tuesday off to rest and recover. Lo and behold, my coworker sent me a text with a picture of a parcel on my desk asking if socks would make me feel better. Absolutely!

I wasn't feeling much better on Wednesday, but I had some work to finish so I dragged myself into the office for an hour, finished it up, grabbed my package, and headed back home.

I made myself a cup of tea, and opened my parcel.

I was delighted to discover two pairs of whimsical knee high socks--one pair featuring flying pigs with hearts, and the other pair, pencils. I had asked my Santa to help brighten up my otherwise dull sock drawer, and s/he came through with flying colours. Even my husband was impressed, particularly with the piggies.

And wouldn't you know it, socks do make me feel better, because I woke up this morning feeling much better than I have. I'm sure it was the socks. Thank you Santa, I can't wait to wear them!
