Dear So and So

[Biciclista]

To whom it may concern
Finally finally after almost 10 years of riding my bike MUCH MORE than I really felt like, the numbers are in my favor.
The first thing that happened was that I gained weight. Went from 118 pounds to 132 - it happened gradually, but believe me, I noticed!!!!!!
Became heavier than I ever was not counting when I was pregnant.

WELL TODAY it was all worth it. went for my annual free medical screening right here at my office and then nurse put a tape around my waist to measure my BMI, took my height and weight and I came out at 17!! officially "LOW" AKA "Below normal"
WOOHOOOO!!!!

I am clearly not underweight so I read that to mean, all that fat I used to have around my waist isn't around my waist anymore.

Now on to the oncologist's appt for my DH.. we have to take the good news with the bad.

Mimi - COOL about the BMI!! Congrats. Good luck at the oncologists appt. too.

Dear Metabolism,

Let's face it, you suck. You are as low and slow as can be measured. I eat a decent diet, work out some, take a nice vigorous walk every day... and I gain weight!?!? Yup, you suck.

Signed,

Still fat but getting pissed

Dear Fine Former Employer:

It was one year ago today that you threw me under the bus and "requested" my resignation to placate a surly, incompetent coworker who belonged to a protected group, and to basically make life easier for yourselves. This was after putting me through a wee bit of hell for the preceding half-year or so. You sure saved a bundle on severance pay, I had worked there for over a decade, after all.

I'm very happy to inform you that I'm now doing independent contract work and enjoying it immensely. I don't miss the day to day workplace baloney one little bit, I set my own hours and I'm getting by quite nicely, thankyee kindly. And I have plenty of time to do what I darn well please.

They say living well is the best revenge. Well, I'm living proof of that.

Signed,

Self-employed and glad of it.

Yay, Jobob!! I'm so glad you're in a better place, even if getting there wasn't so pleasant.

Dear co-worker, who used the changing room and showers before me,

please, if you break something made of glass on the tiled floor, make sure you've gotten all the major pieces up off the middle of the floor! Thankfully I have really thick skin on my heels after summer barefooting, which is why I'm not still carrying that shard around with me embedded in my foot. But when I automatically swiped my foot against the other shin to brush the "pebble" off, the ensuing gash and brisk bleeding almost made me miss the meeting I had 7 minutes to catch...

[Biciclista]

LPH, YIKES!!! that is really creepy!! I'm glad it wasn't worse.

At doc's today; result? MORE tests. They are bright, confident, hopeful. It was good to meet them. D has appointments every day this week. yikes!

I like that sound of that.
