Dear So and So

[Pax]

I need to move to the beach, if I never saw a snowflake again in this lifetime I'd be a happy woman.

Pax, you're very welcome to switch places with me. Although I don't know how you'd feel about tropical rainstorms that feel like you're getting pelted with marbles when you get caught on the bike in one... It's been blazing hot lately hereabouts, I walk out to get lunch and return with heat induced headaches. Just two weeks ago, it rained for days and days. Is it me or is the weather getting more extreme these days??

I lived in Clearwater FL for a few years, so I know what you mean about tropical rainstorms; they were insane!

But I'll take those over Central IL ice and snow.

Dear package gods:
AGAIN? Seriously? This is the third thing that's gone missing.
At least it wasn't one of my textbooks.

Dear mail carrier:
Why is it that you're able to read the note on the door (the one that tells you to take packages to the office) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (the days when I get home before the office closes), but not on Tuesdays or Thursdays? This is getting really irritating.

Dear Weather Goddess:

I am sorry.

I see from the other posts on this thread that this has actually become a nationwide issue and I have to say I feel wholly responsible. Yes, I installed full fenders on my new Volagi. I'm sorry that I presumed that because spring brevet season is usually quite rainy that it would be the same this year. I know you are wildly unpredictable and can do whatever you like with the weather. So of course one should never presume or assume anything where you are concerned.

I took the fenders off. They rattled. Please give us some rain.

Love,
Overly-Prepared MP

You probably have 2 mail carriers.

Many years ago, we stopped getting mail MWFSat (most weeks). Mail came in small volume the other days. We then got a note in our box asking when we wanted our mail. Turns out they confused our house number with someone else's. They were holding our mail and delivering theirs (when theirs was supposed to be held). We were NOT happy, and neither were the other people. Sadly, I doubt anything was done to keep it from happening again.

Yikes.
That might be it. The tracking information for the missing package says that it was out for delivery yesterday, but now says "status not updated" or something and has an expected delivery date of 1/6. And it's not here, because a number of other things arrived today and it wasn't in there. Geez.

Dear self:
Please stop obsessing over some thing that's probably in your room at home. Go back for a weekend and look thoroughly...though hopefully when mom's not around, as it will involve stuff ending up everywhere!

Dear Weather Goddess:

Sorry about buying the Swix ski table legs yesterday. I ordered them long ago before I knew you were feeling so out of sorts (I understand, believe me).

What can I do? Leave my car out in the driveway with the sunroof open?
