Dear So and So

Dear J--
Hopefully the surgery goes well and it won't interrupt your degree progress.
(And what exactly were you doing, anyway?)

[Bethany1]

Yeah. Everyone's okay. Just was startled. I'm paying better attention to cars as they go by now.

DH figured they were out doing this to people since they had them in the car ready to throw out and not targeting us specifically.

Dear Self,

Just because you feel a bit better & think you can lean forward on the wind trainer does not mean you should...No matter how much fun it was to sit on the bike and watch The Princess Bride!

Perhaps it's time for complete rest...I'm sure i can do that when we're away for a few weeks on our holiday..!

Agh..

I'm sorry that you're still hurting But I totally agree with your choice of trainer movies!

OMGoodness! That's awful!

Dear Pediatrician and Health Care Insurance:

Hmmm, so well visits are covered 100%. EXCEPT when done on the same day as a surgical procedure. And since when did removing a splinter from one's foot become a full-blown medical procedure! What awful timing on my part for finding it while we were in the doctor's office. Sheesh. $390 for a well visit and a "surgical procedure." The cost seems a little inflated if you ask me.

wtf.

Where was that? I need to avoid that area.

Dear bike--
It's always something, isn't it? You're getting to be rather expensive, you know.

Dear guy at new (to me) shop--
You're awesome, and you didn't treat me like I'm an idiot when I popped in to look at bikes. If I were guaranteed to be in Cincinnati after I finish this damn MS, and if Trek actually fits me (jury is out), I would probably buy my graduation-present Madone from you.

Dear summer, where for art thou???

I had a site visit for my beach restoration project and it was freaking cold! Where is summer???

This is making my crazy father's constant request to come visit in Texas start to look good.

Dear Back,

Why did you have to give out on me right when I'm about to move, and during one of the best bike commuting weeks of the year? It's not too hot and not too cold, and I can't ride my bike. And how I'm going to get everything packed and moved when I can barely hoist myself out of bed, I'll never know.

LOL. Just around the corner from my house. No worries.

Dear Missouri River,

You have blocked all accessible bridges and streets in/out of my area and I was really hoping to have my sister come down and pick me up for a trip back to our parent's house. Now her seven hour trip will turn into a 10 hour one IF she braves the back roads to get to my house.

Then it will be another two hours added to get out of Nebraska and head off east.

It's okay though. It's not like she needs me to go get some stuff, it would just be nice to spend time together.

[Bethany1]

Dear Cheverolet Company,

I wish your Silverados weren't so heavy duty as one did 3000 dollars damage to DH's small car yesterday.

On the other hand, I commend you on your durability efforts as there isn't any damage done to the truck.

Now if you could get your Silverados to get 40mpg like my small car, we could come to some agreement on the whole thing.

My goodness, I was just in Omaha today. The river is insane. It looked like an interstate or a major highway was under water?? Thankfully I didn't have to deal with any of it for work but I did walk around near Riverfront and I could hardly believe it.


Dear airplanes:

Please stop making me sick. I can't do my job if I get migraines every time I fly.

Oh you don't want to be here now or any time soon. Here in houston, if we are lucky, the nighttime temps get down to the upper 70's, daytime temps are in the high 90's with feels like in the 105 range. There is no cloud cover which means that the temp is already steamy high at 9:00 Am. I don't think the wind has been under 15 and is usually up to the 20-25 mph range for the last month and we have only had an inch of rain since january. The lawns, fields and trees are all looking brown and heat stressed and we here in Katy are all supposed to be in a voluntary heavy conservation effort which means no water to the lawn more often than 2x week and only before 8 am or after 4 pm, odd number houses on odd days, even on even and AC no lower than 82, and please use table fans as much as possible. The latest suggestion from our fine home owners association and lawn gestapo was to bar b que extra food all this weekend and store it for left overs.

And because they can't report any possibility of anything more than the rare scattered showers for the next 7-10 days the weathermen are going into hyperbolic ecstasies reporting on tropical storm Arlene, the first name gulf storm of the hurricane season.

By my count this is week 7 of over 90 daytime temps.

I am ready for fall and we haven't even gotten far past midsummer.

Dear former Louisiana resident

Summer doesn't come until sometime in July.

Now you know why we wear wool all year round.
