Dear Knee,
Would you stop hurting already? Dr.K fixed you last June. Why is it that when I'm on my feet a bunch you still hurt? But if I sit too long, you cramp up? What gives?
Please settle down.
I want to feel "normal" again. Thank you.

Dear black kitten near bike trail:
I hope you have a home to go to.
Dear muscle:
Stop it. You're making all the other muscles pick up your slack, so now my back hurts. Heal!
Dear Bach:
Why exactly did you write that many "Brandenburg Concertos"?
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Dear feet, really, it's been almost 3 months since I put on the last of the weight, don't you guys think you should used to it by now? Its really depressing when I stand up and my archs hurt.
Dear self, next time you think not eating for the whole day because it gets rid of the tummy spillover is a good idea, THINK AGAIN. 1 week of eating carefully and working out is going down the drain when you need to eat bread to deal with heartburn. Smarty pants...
Dear doctor, please don't take it so personally when I say I am hypersensitive to needle sticks. Stop trying to convince me how terrific your blood draw skills are because this has absolutely NOTHING to do with your mad skillz and everything to do with the fact that a horde of medical professionals have tried CBT, some REM therapy thingy, exposure therapy, psychotherapy and drugs and still failed to get rid of the hypersensitivity and the PTSD-ish response I have to blood draws. It's not a challenge, it's something I have to live with for years after you're done with me.

Dear Everyone on this Board:
I just wanted to say how saddened I am at all the trials and tribulations many of you are going through right now; yet I am heartened and lifted up by the love and caring expressed here.

Dear MIL and FIL. I have enjoyed your visit but I think it is time for you to go back home now...It has been over a week.....**sigh** I want my house back.
Dear Neck and Back:
I know you feel a meeeeelllion percent better than you did a week ago. However, I would really like to go on a bike ride, among other things. Please stop feeling like you are on the border of another muscle spasm. It's terribly unpleasant.
Do you see that crazy yellow glow in the sky? That interesting shade of blue? That's a warm sunny day, and a warm sunny day tiptoeing around inside on November 27 is a big waste.
Also, I think my kidneys might like a break from the naproxen, so get it in gear, already.
Cheers,

Dear sock--
Yes, thanks for hiding in the laundry room. Much appreciated.
Dear self
Okay, we have two, possibly 3 more purchases to make until we have gifts covered. One of these is a cyber Monday sale. I realize that some of that purchase is for me, but there's no point paying $5 in shipping for $7 of yarn...plus you have ideas for some of the stuff that they're discontinuing in the sale. I realize your "good side" says to stash dive, but the reality is there aren't appropriate colors in there for your dad's socks, and the thicker sock yarn will knit up fast.
Just stay away from the coffee (you've got tea, parking will be easier and no one cares when you come in now) until DBF gets here.
At least I don't leave slime trails.
