OLW
Dear Work,
I swear to god, I left one department to work for another that was "less stress". Now I'm back on pins and needles. Also it's bullshit when a healthcare corporation states that patient care is first because lately all I've been hearing is "revenue, revenue, revenue". It makes me not like my job even more than I don't like it now. I also think there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I just want to get there. I used to enjoy coming to work, now I just punch in, do my job and punch out. There's no joy anymore.
Fix that,
Me

Dear BF,
I'm sorry that I've been a bitch lately, I think it's the lack of carbs. But I'm better now and I appreciate all you do. Can't wait for our day-cation on Saturday. You're such a good fur-parent to Quigley and Buddy I don't know what I'd do without you. Also I appreciate the sacrifices that you're willing to make to make sure I'm happy. I'm on the fence about it, but I'm glad you'll support me either way. Annnnd I'm glad we re-visited the timeline talk since you threw me for a loop asking me when I was going to make an appt to get my IUD taken out. I'm glad we're communicating better than we ever have before!
Love,
Grammy

Dear mom,
I haven't skyped with you because you said I looked like I was pregnant. I know you apologized, but your apologies have never been sincere when it has come to picking on people and their body image. It's bad enough that I'm trying really hard to lose weight and then you tell me that. Once I drop 20 lbs I'll skype with you again, so maybe this fall or winter.
Love,
Your daughter

Dear friends,
Stop being flakes, really, this is annoying. I'm tired of it. I can't wait until this wedding is over so I can throw in the towel on some of these friendships.

Dear body,
Get your ass in gear.

@cu97tiger,
We'll be down there October 4-6 (possibly 7th, I don't know yet). We're taking the train down, how far are you from DC? Or Metro access???? I would love to hang out with you!
Also do we work in the same office? I have a space heater on. In July. I can't even.....

I'm with you in the space heater at work club!
Dear apartment complex and associated managers,
Fuck you for causing me so much stress and frustration for the past year. Until yesterday, I thought I was finally done with you. Again, fuck you.

Dear @southernpeach89,
Thanks little sis! You're the bestest little sis/bride-to-be/Commander in Chief of the bridal party ever! Make me some of your famous guacamole for the house warming party and that'll make me feel much better!
Love your big sis

Dear NEY,
Thanks for all your support yesterday! I hope I'm able to get this crap worked out swiftly and efficiently. Apartment life sucks...I hope I never have to deal with it again.
Love Me

Dear Puppy,
Stop peeing on the floor. You understand 'go potty' and you understand we are happy when you go outside so why don't you understand why it's bad to go inside? Also, stop jumping on me, on other people, and on things. Your little claws hurt and it's going to be way less cute when you're big.
Love your frustrated mommy

Dear BF,
I love you so much! I really hope this new job you've applied for works out. I'm tired of only seeing you on the weekends. I don't feel like I can do everything that needs to be done by myself anymore and I really need some more support. Plus I miss you oodles and I want more sexy times!
Love Me
Dear @beanbot2002, I absolutely want to! BF only wants to go to two museums in the whole city so we have plenty of time to do extra stuff, I'll keep you and @cu97tiger posted for a possible mini g2g!
@southernpeach89 please be careful with guac. I almost burned my back porch down since @swazzle found an awesome recipe for avocado stuffed burgers and I had to try it. Apparently guac + hamburger fat + leaving the grill on high heat = neighbors almost calling the fire department.
@buddysmom80 sorry you are so stressed. I'm with you on the space heater mine is on right now too.
Dear FI,
Yay I'm so glad the patio will be done this week. I love it so much, you are beyond amazing. I love you so much!!

Dear job I applied for,
I really, really want this job, please call me this week for an interview.
Girl who really wants a new job
Dear self,
Please stop being so tired all the time, it's not fun. You need to work out more, no more excuses either!
Girl who needs more energy!!
Dear 4pm,
Please get here asap.
Girl who doesn't want to work at all today
@buddysmom80 Your BF is crazy. If I were in DC you'd have to drag me kicking and screaming out of the musuems and knock me out in order to get me home. I miss that city so much. Have a wonderful time!
I thought of some more things to add..
Dear Poison Ivy,
Get the fuck out of my yard and please get off my skin. I think the dog passed you on to me cause I sure as hell haven't been doing any work in the yard lately...

Dear pants I haven't worn in forever,
Cool, you fit! You know what's even cooler? You're actually kind of loose! You know what's not cool? Having to wear you in July because my office is frigid...
Still here and still fabulous!
Dear @keptinstiches
I can relate to the DMV situation and I'm sorry. I waited for three days in a row (2 hours each time) at the SS Office to get a new SS card, because all my ID was stolen from me recently, and to get a new SS card printout for the DMV that they then said they wouldn't take to issue me a new state ID. Fun times.

Dear Nightmares,
Why are you keeping me up all night? I'm already stressed about a ton of things right now.
Sleep deprived.

@cschiano - Fingers crossed for you!
@courtpenguin21 - I'm sorry you are worried about telling your mom. Don't let it get to you if you can. One of the first things my family said after was "You know we can't pay for anything, right?" I wanted my response to be "I wasn't asking but thanks for the reminder" but held my tongue.
What can you do? Like my family, I'm sure your mom will be proud and happy for you even if she doesn't express it how you would like her to.
Please turn out okay. I will continue to do everything in my power to find the right job, just please do not make me wait too long. This year has been stressful enough.
Sincerely,
Girl who just quit her job without having another one lined up.

Dear kids in the backyard behind mine,
STFU. I love kids, but if you don't stop screeching like that and making my dog go crazy I may have to do something about it. You can play baseball without breaking the sound barrier, I swear.
Sincerely,
Angry neighbor who's tired of yelling at her dog to be quiet when someone should be telling their kids to do so.

Dear BF,
I know you are worried about your coworkers who may be let go, but you need to focus on YOU. It's not your fault that they don't pull their weight. What matters most is continuing to work as hard as you do so that you can finally get this raise they keep promising you.
Love,
Me
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear body,
I don't know how you lost 4lbs without trying, but please keep it up. I will do my best not to stress-eat, and to work out a lot with all this free time.
Love,
Finally feeling good about the way I look

Dear BF,
I'm sorry you are going to have to take another year off of school. I promise that it will all work out in the end though.
Love,

I'm sorry you're so stressed. Sending hugs and warm fuzzy thoughts.

Dear R,
I kinda pretty much like you. I don't know where we go from here, but I would like to have a conversation about it, but could you be the one to bring it up?? I suck at things like that. Please and thank you.

You're a roommate, nothing more. Quit being creepy and acting like we are dating.
