Dear So and So

[marni]

dear weather gods,

thank you for the lovely 2' of rain we got today, and for the first measureable rain since early January, and for letting it fall before the entire state catches fire. Too bad that all the farmers have lost their crops and it's probably too late for a lot of the trees and it is only 1/10th of what we nedd to bring us anywhere back close to normal soil moisture, but thank you for making it a slow steady rain for most of the storm.

Now if you could just do something about the continual 90% humidity and 20 +mph gusting to 35 mph winds, I would be a happy girl.

Dear bikes & swim stuff,

I'm sorry i'm unable to share in the fun at the moment. It's not pleasant when bones rub against your thorax & am not about to cause more annoyances.

Yes, I know it's annoying and i too am sad. Hopefully my dr will refer me to someone who can help with this.

*sniff* Poo..

Sad cyclist.

Dear Legs,

Thank you for having fun doing the long beach walks in the soft sand whilst we're off the bike.

Dear Powers that Be:
Why am I not good enough to be able to do the things I want to do? Could you elaborate so that I may improve? The depressed and anxious patch I'm going through right now, thanks to you, is not helping me sleep.

Dear Weather,

I've not been able to head out on my bike since Sunday. Stress is starting to take a toll and I really need to ride. Please hold off on the rain until after I can get at least 20-25 miles tonight. I would appreciate it if I don't have to sprint in front of the storm back to my car 10 minutes after starting like Tuesday night. I know my request is minor considering how many are dealing with fire, floods, and drought but I really need to ride. Can you please give everyone a break and move our rain to parched and fiery places?

Thank you

Dear person who contacted the local PD about a pending terrorist plot,

THANK YOU! I really appreciate that my office didn't get blow up / shot up.
And in a real twist of irony, while the news crews were present to film an interview with our commander about the non-incident, we were having our annual picnic. Go figure. The plot was foiled, life goes on, and let's party.

(all suspects are innocent until proven guilty, but it sounds like these guys were given enough rope to hang themselves)

Oh my! I am glad that nothing bad happened and you were even able to continue with the picnic!

Can I have a stiff drink now? It is my birthday... Now that it's over, it's tough to see the story on the local news.
