Dearest Child of mine,

5:30 is not an acceptable wake up time. I like sleep.

Love, your exhausted mother

Dear insurance company,

Please don't be a bitch. Give me back my insurance!

Desperate and scared,

now I'm uninsured

Dear apartment complex,

Thanks for coming up with some random discount that will allow me to afford to live here again. I know you pulled it out of your ass because I was crying in the office and you were closing in 10 minutes. Now I just need to get over the fact that I'll still be far away from my friends and family for another year. 

Love,

Grateful, but still frustrated

----------------------------------------------------

Dear H,

You're the best. Thanks for offering up your dad to me and reminding me how much your family loves me. I know you want things to work out between my mom and I, and I appreciate how hard you're trying to make that work. It's just going to take time. 

All my love,

your recovering wife

Dear Body,

I should have just come home last night. I'm sorry. I thought sleeping at the kids house made since since I was going to be there until 10:30 last night and was needed at 6:00am this morning - but you did not get much sleep at all and feel awful now. I hope this afternoon coffee helps a little. And I REALLY hope I'm not needed this afternoon, even though the money would be nice.

Love, 

Brain

------------------------------------------------------

Dear BF,

You are the best. I was a moody, sulking, whiner yesterday - mostly because of not getting the job, but also because of PMS and because I'm realizing that a Christmas proposal is unlikely. None of these things are your fault, but I appreciate you taking me Christmas-tree shopping in the middle of the day just to make me happier. It worked. I cannot wait to decorate this humongous beautiful tree with you while listening to Christmas music and drinking wine.

Also - thanks in advance for going out to dinner with my ex-coworker and his wife, and then with my ex-roommate and her boyfriend, this weekend. I know you are indifferent about one and dislike the other, so I owe you!

Love you,

Goobs

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Buddysmom80,

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I am sooooooo excited for you, but damn that man for dropping so many hints. I bet you don't know whether to hit him or kiss him when he does!

Love,

Hummingbird

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear NEY,

I may be in need of your help soon. I'm trying not to slip into BSC-territory, but it has been difficult. Be ready to pull be back from the edge soon!

Love,

Keeping it together for now.

Dear BF's Dad,

I am so happy you came to visit and got to go to the UW/PS football game with BF. Please stop trying to talk politics with me, we will never agree and it just stresses BF out.

Dear BF, 

Don't worry, I've finished all the dishes. 

Love ya lots

Dear NEY,

Thanks for listening to me ramble and making me feel like a welcome newbie on this board!

@Kait, good luck, lady! Sending you vibes!

@cu97tiger, yayyyy Toby! Glad he is doing better.

@CA SK85, yay for turning the monster dissertation in! You are my hero for using that many words and I'm sure it's a work of art!

***

Dear med-surg exam,

You have a LOT in common with the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead!

-You both made me cry.

-You were both horrific and gruesome (those GI disorders are no joke!).

-Everyone was like, "WTF????" afterward.

-You both made me realize that I really need to get out more after finals.

The next week will be spent frantically reviewing everything I've learned since August. Hopefully our final will make up for the bullshit that was on this exam. So annoyed right now.

No love,

Woman who is just a LITTLE BIT ON EDGE at the moment

***

Dear co-workers,

Y'all are the bomb and I love you. I'm so lucky to work around people who care about doing their jobs right and serving our patients, and who care about EACH OTHER the way we all do.

Love,

Can I please stay after I graduate?

***

Dear ladies of NEY,

I just love you all. Thank you for always having words of patience and wisdom (and also for the GIFs, can't forget those!). You have pushed me toward more insight, confidence, and growth than you know, and I'm grateful for every post or message you have sent my way recently.

Love you hard!

I love you, my darling. But I don't just love all the little puppy teeth you keep bringing down on me at all moments. So we need to cut that shit out.

Dear Universe,

I've had my fill of funerals for awhile.  Can you give me a nice long break on these?  I need happies in my life, not sads.

Signed,

In need of happy pills today

Dear NEY ladies,

I the shit out you.  You are like my crazy adult sorority.  I may not agree with everyone 100% of the time, but I am better for having you in my life.  I need to see some more of your gorgeous faces IRL.

Regards,

Do you think the Greek store makes NEY sweatshirts?

Dear H,

I have no words that will make things better.  I love you so much and it hurts to see you in pain. I wish I could take it all away and fix it.  No matter what, I am by your side.  Work may be crazy now, but you are 1000x's more important.  I have no place I'd rather be than with you.

Love,

Me

suzie211

@CASK85. Way to rock that dissertation! You are amazing!

@cu97tiger  Yay for a healthy Toby and hubby talks.  And there can be no DCG2G without me.  This lady needs a good reason to be in DC and I think that's just the right one.

@CASK85 Congrats! And I love your SN - and initials.

@cu97tiger I'm glad Toby is better!

@buddysmom80 Ummmm SQUEEEE why do I feel like I need to know a lot more about this IMMEDIATELY!

@BriSox81 I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU that you are going to a Pats game! I hope Gronk does all the things. And also maybe that I get to see you or something. Maybe I'll just stalk you.

@Sakalicious I will snuggle you while H is gone, date!

@csousa1, here's what went down. BF has to work on Christmas (his office switches holidays with another office) and I got him an Xbox One so I felt bad having him open it on Christmas morning and then he couldn't use it because he had to work. I suggested we could wait until he gets home from work to open Christmas gifts, then he suggested Christmas Eve. So I said to him "I think you have something planned." he goes "I'm def proposing to you before Christmas since it would suck to propose to you and then go to work." Which makes sense, I guess.

Now I'm excited to go to the movies on Christmas. Anchorman 2!!!!!!!

CN: BF is proposing before Christmas, not ON Christmas and I'm going to the movies on Christmas day.

You're having too much fun saying the word "propose" in it's various forms combined with the pronouns BF, he, and me. 

Back away from the edge now, ma'am.

Dear tonsils,

Stop exploding. Oh god you are so gross. I feel like I am dying.

Dear cells,

You'd better be alive when I go check on you. And then when I add puromycin, you better not die.

@buddysmom80 - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@LivLeighton - It's just a bad viral infection. One of my tonsils is really swollen, and the other one is covered in exudate. I normally don't have any issues with my tonsils; the only exceptions have been mono and strep. I'm heavily immunosuppressed, though, so it's entirely plausible that this is just the worst sore throat/cold ever.

If this happens again, though, I will definitely get my tonsils removed.

@cask85 yay congrats!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Ladies who are starting to become BSC,

Add me to the club. I'm starting to get impatient.

QN

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear BF's family,

Let us make our own choices and don't try to stop us from going to visit his dad. You may not like it, but that is his father and we will continue to see him whether you like it or not. And seeing my family at Christmas is just as important as seeing you, suggesting we cut our trip short so we can be back here for Christmas (when you have to work) is ridiculous. 

KeptInStitches

Dear Everyone Else who is BSC,

I'm starting to get impatient, too ... maybe it's the holidays?

Please stop. I've shoveled the walk and porch twice already. So I think one foot of snow is a good place to call it quits.

Also - I'm totally going to A2 on Christmas as well! Cannot wait.
