Dear So and So

[Biciclista]

Is there any police patrolling in Portland Oregon! The DD has now lived there for 4 1/2 years and last night her car was broken into for the 4th time! All in different neighborhoods and not necessarily sketchy. This time they smashed out the passenger window but someone must have scared them off as they only got a cell phone, whew and two bikes and two computers were also in the car. The DH told her she should consider stripping everything out - like the radio and just leave it unlocked from now on...

In large cities it is considered careless to leave valuables in your car. She should not leave her phone! computers! and the like in her car.

hmm, Spokewrench, I was kinda thinking you were going to offer me your shoes. I see they have road bike shoes in red, but I need something I can safely walk in. MTB shoes are the ticket!

Dear Post Office,

Please deliver the warranty part for my cleats SOON! I am in withdrawal from the lack of riding, and I am NOT going on the trainer this early in the year! Thank you and I hope to find a package from you today.

Normally she keeps nothing in her car but that doesn't even seem to stop the break-ins, one time they broke in and ripped apart her glove box there wasn't anything in the car. This time they had stopped on the way home to have dinner and were parked close to the restaurant it wasn't even late - before 9pm.

Dear anorexia, oh hello, you again. This time around, I don't even know what to do with you. I'll just take my multi-vites and eat when I can make myself and maybe, eventually, you'll go away. I'm too tired to keep fighting you.

I worried when you put up the other posts. Do you have anyone at all you can talk to? Get back in touch with a therapist you've worked with in the past?

Please take care. Try to eat. Try to do some of the things that have helped you with these feelings in the past - even if it doesn't feel like they're working now. I care.

Alexis, please, please see a mental health professional.
Getting your nutrition/eating assessed and normalized should be the first thing anyone you work with does.
PM me if you want.

(((Alexis))). I'm so sorry you're suffering. While I never got thin enough to be labeled as an anorexic, I used disordered eating for years as a coping mechanism when I felt out of control. Therapy, yoga and cycling were my saving grace. I hope you find the help you need. Please reach out to a professional.
