Dear So and So

[indysteel]

(((((Hugs all round! to Crankin, Becky, and Indy-self!)))))

Spring is coming, and all will be better soon

Thanks for the hugs, and hugs around to anybody and everybody having a rough time of it right now. If ever I was sure that I suffer from SAD, it's now. Spring and summer simply cannot come quickly enough. I need warm sunshine and lots of it.

Dear DH's company's board member:

I'm going home, and I'm taking my ball with me. Don't kid yourself that offering to be my BFF now, after I've been drifting in limbo for 18 months, is going to change my mind.

Sincerely,
A Pushy American Girl

P.S. And please stop telling me that the weather isn't usually this bad. You have no credibility with me.

Dear Chicago Area Council Boy Scouts of America,

I used to think the Boy Scouts was a great thing and something to support. But ever since you closed the doors at Owasippe to all mountain bikers, I feel completely and totally betrayed by your organization. When the park was up for sale and slated to be developed--I campaigned, rallied, raised and donated money to help protect it. It was months and years of dedication, prayer, wishful thinking, that we stood by Owasippe. And just when we go to raise our glasses in a toast of victory, you close the park to a community that had always embraced and protected its natural wilderness.

I am still stunned. And often surprised by the wave of grief I feel over this loss.

I may be one of the only mountain bikers around here that has not given up hope. And I won't. Another letter is sitting in your inbox.

Dear close female relative,

yeah, yeah, you want a new laptop for your birthday, and you want my kind computer-tech dh to fix it all up for you. I got that not-so-subtle 2 page hint. Fine, on 2 conditions:
1. start remembering my birthday, at least most years
2. turn up at my son's birthday when you're invited, with a gift

Dear neighbor,

How about not whining to me about the security light war you're in with your neighbor on the other side, when you know how much your light bothers me. I'd be tempted to shine mercury vapor lamps directly into your windows, too, except that it would just mean even MORE light getting into my house at night (plus, escalation just isn't my style).

Dear *%&$^@ driver who just turned right in front of my husband last night as he was riding home on his bike. You clipped his wheel and left him to pick himself up off the road with a fractured scapula. You were apparently so inattentive to the road that possibly you didn't even know you hit a cyclist! You were a jerk and I hope your bad karma catches up with you.

Damn straight! How in the world can someone not realize they've just hit someone. Sheee-eeesh!

So sorry for your DH and hope he will heal quickly.

I hope your husband has a comfortable recovery. How can people not notice hitting someone?

Dear Japanese experts, please make those reactors safe as fast as you can, I worry so much for my little brother and his new wife in Tokyo. Thank you.
