Dear So and So

Dear jessmarimba,

I feel your pain. My cat throws up at a rate of once every couple of days. Sometimes he throws up twice a day if I'm lucky. All because he'll maul anyone who attempts to groom him. I think shaving might not be the worst idea...

Dear friend from high school,

thank you for always being the person who offers a solid, compassionate, steadying silence when I lose my head over life. A lot of times, that's exactly what's needed. I'm thankful you're in my life and I'm thankful you are willing to be that person. Thank you.

Dear person I'm supposed to be shadowing:
Where are you? The PI said you get here around 10. It's 11. I've been here since 8. You're wasting my time--and it's a lovely day and I could be riding my bike.

Grr.

Dear co-worker,

You try to be a gruff and surly guy , but in reality you're very sweet. Thanks for the coffee shop gift card and the apology for being grumpy yesterday.

Signed,

Your happy co-worker

Dear Side Walk Cyclist,

You're probably lucky I wasn't driving and I'm not your typical inattentive person on the road.... Not only were you riding relatively fast downhill on the sidewalk, you totally blew through a solid "don't walk" after the light was green for me.... What really blew my mind is that you giggled... Had I been a typical car driver, not been able to see as well, hear you, check myself from moving as quickly and also not looking for someone to come off the sidewalk like that... I might have hit you and it really would not have been a laughing matter. It wouldn't have been funny if I had started forward and you'd T-boned me on my bike either....

I'm generally willing to defend cyclists, even if they aren't doing something popular, as long as they are at least following the rules, but you girlie were really working hard at becoming a casualty and I would not have been able to defend you at all....

Dear body (especially you, leg muscles!):
I think we need to do some work when it comes to the "running"/longer-distance brisk walking thing. We'll try that again tomorrow morning before I have to go into the lab. Fear not, we're going on a ride this weekend!

Dear Boss Lady,

Stop giving me bad stuff to work on. The bad stuff takes all day, and then we can't use it, because, you know, it's bad. Only now, it's bad + cost of labor, and that's worse than starting over right away would have been.

I'm trying to save you money. Trust me (and yourself) to know when something is bad, and get off YOUR butt and start over. It's going to happen in the end anyway, so just do it from the start, without torturing me first.

Dear Handsome Men of the LBS, Vegas Edition,

Bring me that. Thank you.

Some people should just get out of the gene pool.

Dear Vacation Gods: Please make our Katy Trail tour a great one. In particular, I'd like good weather and good health. No storms--thunder or thyroid, no snake bites, no sinus infections or allergy attacks, etc., etc. Comfy beds, warm showers and good food would be nice, too.

Thank you,

Your usually enthusiastic, but slightly nervous this time around, servant
