Piggy Flu Panacea

My furry nursing staff couldn't have handled my round the clock care without the auxiliary help of some really great blogging friends. A team of "experts" in the fields of moral, materialistic and distractionary support...

First communique to come over the wire was a pic text greeting from Meg Carter at the Atlanta Gift Show via Kristin at Summer In Newport. I nodded back to sleep in a Tylenol and Sea Candy dangle induced haze...

At the height of my piggy flu misery a UPS delivery arrived from Jules Reid...

A script filled with kind words...

And, one ahhhmaaazing blouse....

Don't get too comfy on that hanger lil pink missy cuz next week we're saying adiós to this sick bed and heading to México...

By day four the fever had broken and I emerged from the bedroom just in time to receive an urgent email from Dickie at Southern Gent. The gals at Matters of Style had posted a Belk's Going Out of Varinas sale. I was able to muster strength from some unknown reserve and track down the last pair of size 9 navy Varinas in the whole Belk world...

Not long off of the heels of my Varina victory came a message over my blackberry from camp Maxminimus:

"So I'm sitting in a cafe next door to my office a moment ago-having a late lunch and this kid...I say kid because she's probably in her early twenties-pretty little blond gal like your nieces and like LFG is going to be...walks over to me.

'I know this is awkward but I read your blog' she nervously said. We both laughed and I asked her how she found it. She said...'I read Summer is a Verb every day'. I told her that Allie Von Summersverb was recovering from the Swine in good form. She sends her best"

Just when a girl's circle of friends, closet and fever ravaged head seem to be swelling disproportionally out of sink with her shrinking body, leave it to PVE to bring her back down to earth with a post reminding her it's time to shift gears from receiving to giving. She's also great for a 3am email when a sick girl can't sleep...

Kindness of everyone for all their well wishing emails, texts, bbm's and tweets while I was sick. Babe especially thanks you for buffering him from the bulk of my whining...XXOO
