Dear So and So

[Bethany1]

Dear IRS,

It's one thing to know I probably owe you money but did you have to flood my basement and break my heater on the same day?

I can see you doing that after taxes are due, but this is a bit premature isn't it?


Broke, Cold and Wet

*Edited after the heating guy left*

Umm...did you have to fry the motherboard to the heater so I don't have central heating until Friday? That's really mean.

(((Bethany))) That's cruddy. I hope it all sorts out for you. Sending lots of warm virtual hugs your way.

Dear ex of my DD,

as I cannot be a helicopter mom, I am expressing my thoughts here instead. You just proved to me what I have thought all along, you are immature, a jerk and a few other bad words. I am so thankful that she has recognized that her life is better without you and I will be so happy when this week is over and she no longer has to interact with you.
Dear Daughter, you are amazing, I love watching you grow, go to the avalanche training, even if it means you won't get all the deposit back on the apartment. Your new life is way more important that a few hundred dollars.

Dear Project Manager,
Do not blame my office because you put the cart before the horse. Just because you have document B scheduled to be signed prior to document A (which I'm responsible for). NOW you figured out there's a two month disparity - is NOT my office's responsibility. I don't appreciate you citing my office for the reason the schedule is blown.

And now thanks to you, I get to do a major rewrite because the project description and construction schedule is rearranged, as well as all the environmental coordination.

In the future, plot the date you want to go to construction, and work back to when all the stars need to be aligned and allow for alignment time than trust a scheduling program which results in document B signed prior to document A.

Bless your heart.

My mom hasn't been feeling well again, this has been happening off and on since last summer. She FINALLY agreed to go to the doctor (she is a retired nurse who hasn't been to a doctor in 15 years), we went to urgent care on Monday, they referred her to a primary care doc for an appt. yesterday.

Long story short, the doc walked in and saw her O2 sats (83) and took a listen to her heart and lungs... then he called an ambulance to transport her to the ER. She's in congestive heart failure.

She was admitted to the hospital, they've started a million tests and so far we have severe aortic stenosis, and a hemoglobin of 6.5 (12 is normal).

Looks like minimum of a valve replacement and possibly a bypass. If anyone has some positive vibes, good wishes, or prayers to spare, pass them our way.

Sending healing vibes to her - and calm and strong to you both.

It can be so hard to understand, respect and especially discuss a parent's choices as they age. I'll be thinking about you...

Medical people seem to make the worst patients.

Dear self:
You know, perhaps beer and two smores (from two hours ago) do not make the best ride fuel, even if you were only riding the trainer.

Dear whatever is in charge of soup:
How exactly did all the sausage end up in this container and not in the one I was eating all of last week?

(((Pax & Mom))) Oh, wow. Sounds serious, but it's a good thing that you now have some information you can work with, and it sounds like you will probably learn more in the coming days? Thoughts and prayers headed your way.
