    Dear Neighbor: Why do all of your guests attempt to park in my driveway? You have your own driveway and space on the street in front of your house. It's clear it's my driveway and not yours. It's bad enough that they're daft enough to park there, but to the extent they have the audacity to argue with me when I ask them to move is simply beyond me. I realize my driveway is actually closer to your door than your own driveway, but that doesn't entitle you to use it.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Dear self--
    I know it's sunny and nice outside for a change, but you don't have to ride if you don't feel like it. I think a splitting headache is a good reason not to ride. If you want to go out and enjoy the sunshine, go sit on the patio and knit or go for a short walk or something. You don't really want to go out for a ride only to have to pull off and puke in someone's yard, do you?


    Dear weather--
    You are on notice. You can stop all this crazy rain stuff next weekend, okay?
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Son of a b__ch. *sigh* Oh well, it could be worse. I could be out of a job altogether...


    I'll just keep on dreaming of a better place while this one continues to eat my soul.

    Oh, that's gonna bruise...

    Dear Co-Workers;

    I don't mind you borrowing my art supplies and sample projects. But could you please return them when finished, so I can use them with my own classroom? Geez... you have had some of this stuff for over a year!

    Ya.

    They are now pushing them to drop a few jobs too. I feel kinda lucky that I didn't end up starting there and be the 1st one gone, right off the bat. But still... we were spending a lot of time looking to move, checking all kinds of stuff out, preparing for all of this and now... pfffft. I can wait for another shot somewhere but the out of the blue freeze and timing of it all just stinks. Were they just not paying attention or what?

    Back to the carnage and massive OT and no sleep and high stress and less $$ and paying to park at my own job and >>>>

    the cool little kids I get to help feel better who end up with all of my stickers and the lonely elderly patients who just want to talk a bit and the moms and dads who just want to get well and go home to their families and the mangled few who are grateful for someone who knows how to do an xray without moving them and the wonderful coworkers I have and the interesting research studies I get to help with and the rare thank you from the nurses and >>>
