Dear So and So

Dear bratty 16 year old driving Daddy's lexus who just referred to me as "the fat sweaty girl."

I've biked 48 miles this week, swam 5, and ran 10. What have you done lately? This sweat is due to me biking 5 miles to get here in 80 degree heat. Learn what it means to work for something, *****.

Dear DD,
Have a wonderful, fun-filled time at Camp! I am so excited for you! I promise to try and mute that part of me that thinks you are still my little baby and too young to do these big adventurous things. You constantly amaze me with everything you are learning. You are capable of so much. GO. Have a GREAT time! And know that I love you very, very, much.

DH,
Take care of the dead squirrel already! I understand that it's maggoty and not a fun thing. But it's definitely the "man-of-the-household's" job. It might make good fertilizer eventually. But my flower bed is stinky and full of flies!

Dear LASIK office,

While I am thankful that you corrected my vision to 20/20, I am not thankful that you charged me twice for the procedure - and no, I'm not seeing double. Eagerly awaiting the call back from your billing person.

Dear Fate,

Sometimes I wish I'd never gotten married. Sometimes I wish I'd never had children. Sometimes I wish I'd never gotten remarried. I often feel like I'm trapped between an anvil and the hammer. Is there any way out of the middle?

I've been feeling sorry for myself recently for being fearful years ago and not coming out of myself - this has led to a lifetime of solitude. I am fine with this most of the time, but I wish that I had been braver. This will pass...

Then again, I love my current lifestyle, just wish that I could meet someone who would share my love for bikes. I have had my defenses up for so long that I don't know if I even can bring them down at 51...'Course, it doesn't help being a rape survivor (twice) and abusive relationships as a young woman.

Thank you for listening. Back to your regularly scheduled program.

Catherine

Dear Skype:
ARGH!

Dear tea company--
I love your tea, really. But this is the second batch in a row with under-filled bags. Seriously, I have to use two of them.

Dear dad--
Mom and I are wondering what you were thinking when you did the grocery shopping this week. A 1-lb box of salad greens plus a head of lettuce? The three of us might have managed to eat it, but due to travel schedules...I will hold you responsible for the recurring nightmares about baby spinach.

Dear Gods of Rental Property, I've been looking for almost a month now. Don't you think its about time you rewarded my patience and persistence with a flat that isn't an overpriced crackhouse/dumping ground where the landlord hates our guts because it's 'not proper' for three unrelated single young people to be sharing a flat together?
