Dear So and So

[malkin]

Dear Whoever you are:

You know what would be a much better prank than stealing the solar/wind powered light out of my yard? Just come over and stick it back in. That would be so tricky!!

Honestly it would!

I miss my windmill.

Dear Body: Nighttime is sleepytime. When I say nighttime, I especially mean around 3am. If you wake up and look at the clock and it says something like "3:21" and it's dark, that is a good sign that you should go right back to sleep, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I'll give you $200 if you just go back to sleep.

Conversely, daytime is wakeyupy time. When the alarm rings, you don't need to hit snooze for 45 minutes. The only reason you need a nap at 11:34 is because you didn't want to sleep at 3:21.

Let's review: nighttime=sleepytime. daytime=wakeyupytime. Got it? Good. Now have some coffee. It's wakeyupytime.

Ugh; I need to have the same conversation with my body/mind. Every night, I wake up around 3:30/4 and am wide awake. I eventually do fall back asleep, but only just in time for the alarm at 5:45. It's so annoying.

I hear you, I have this same talk with my body, but it happens at 12:30, sometimes at 2:30 as well. I get up at 4:20... Some of this is stress which seems to be moderating (finally) but that 12:30 thing is pretty consistent.

Dear itty-bitty safety-craving girl inside my head,

really, it's not dangerous to move. Especially not all of a whopping 1500 yards away. Stop whinging. It'll be great. You're all grown up now, you can handle both an increased loan, and not having the exact same things you had here.

Oh, and listen to tangentgirl. She has it right about the nighttime thing. Shut up and go to sleep already.

Moving is never fun, even if it's just across the street.

Congrats on your new place!

Dear Woman who honked at the little old man on the trike, who made you wait a second longer than a car would have,

You suck.

Totally!

Dear spaced-out guy who shouted out that I had "big, strong legs, big, strong legs! yeah, good, good...", and actually repeated it to my face as we stood waiting for each our green light:

you were probably on drugs, but thanks anyway.

Oh that's awesome!!


Nice contrast of the two posts....

Maillotpois - I love your signature and am going to "steal" it if I may - not as a real signature but as a quote.
