Dear self,
please quit stressing.
Adrenaline rush has been over for like 18 hours, so unreasonable anxiety over danger that's past is...well, unreasonable.
It just adds to migraines.
Love
Me.
Dear student-I-mentor,
I'm so proud of you. We've done a LOT of work on how to be professional and you're getting it.
I emailed you a request on Friday and you replied somewhat cryptically-- you've gotten smart enough to say "no, I appreciate the offer but that won't work" instead of "no way, BossMcGrumpypants is a raging freak". way not to leave a papertrail.
You're learning. yay!

Dear local urgent care people,
ya'll are awesome. You were all nice and helpful last night (when you had to give Buffy stitches--she's fine. She disagreed w/ the coffee table--the table won)
Buffy hates you all right now but she'll get over it and we appreciate that you were all so sweet about all of this.

Re: Open letters
Dear nest,
You suck.
Dear work,
So do you.
Dear last four days,
You suck. A lot. Thanks for the misery.
Poor Buffy!
Dear Back,
Will you quit hurting please? At least tell me what I did to you to make you so miserable.
-Your body
Dear self,
Relax, T is in good hands and tomorrow will go well.

Dear Employers,
CALL ME BACK DAMMIT!

Dear boss,
I know you're pissed because one of my co-workers screwed up. This was not my fault. Stop taking it out on me. Stop acting like I should know everything about the store when I've been there a month and was only half-assedly trained.
Your faithful employee (unless you keep treating me like crap--seriously, I love this job, but I don't need it, and I'm not going to let myself have panic attacks every day because of something I didn't do),

Dear Mac,
Pom pom balls are not food. Please remember this for the future.
Love,
The person who spent 500 dollars to figure out that you're a moron (but I'm really glad you're okay)
Dear Mom,
Stop acting all hurt because I don't call you. You have a phone too, you know.
Sincerely,
Your apathetic daughter
Dear MIL,
You are not the center of the universe. You do not care about us or DD, you only care about you. I do no need to deal with your toxic amounts of crazy right now. I am not stupid, you do not actually care that my grandmother died, you just want to harass me about helping you pay more bills while you sit on your butt and use FB all day instead of looking for a job. Stop being a lazy ass and get a damn job! You are not to good for McDonalds.

Dear Express Scripts,
Thanks for making me travel to a whole other town to get my medicine now because you won't let the pharmacy in town take the insurance anymore, that isn't inconvenient or anything. Thank you for being completely unhelpful in the matter and your customer service needs serious training, sucks to be you is not an acceptable answer to a concern!
Get your Sh!t together. MeDear TB 12-24,
If my mom received a call from a group of women who were e-stalking my tragedy, there'd be hell to pay. The creepy factor is off the charts.
Just send the money to charity. Don't be trashy and ask for a refund because you couldn't force your tree on her.

Dear Boxes,
Kindly unpack yourselves please.

Dear TIP Regs and Lurkers,
Please start posting more. Otherwise I'm going to be forced to introduce myself to yet another board, and, well, I'm lazy.
- Bowies
Ugh, right? WTH is wrong with those people? Love how they raised hell on ML about how they weren't total tragedy whores but...yeah.
Clearly you and I have the same mother. So. Infuriating.
Dear Weight Watchers-
I really hate you. Really bad.
Hatefully yours-
3rd day of 3 month commitment (damn you online promotions!)
PS.. I think the world has had enough of your stupid Jennifer Hudson promotions. Please find a new celebrity, or at the very least a new song. Please.
