i write letters

Dear Sinuses,

I really appreciate how you kept it together through that last week, even with the rain and the yelling and the general ridiculousness. That was great! Next year, I'd like to try and see if we can keep it together even AFTER camp is over - I know there were some extenuating circumstances this year, what with the many millions of hours in the airport, but, still. I would like to be able to use my nose right now! Still, on the whole, strong work, and I look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Best,

- M

Dear mothership,

All that, and you want to add a family week next year? I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Ask me again in a month or so.

Yours in fond bewilderment,

- T

Dear transportation office,

Suck a dozen goddamn dicks. THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T FIRE COMPETENT PEOPLE, ASSHOLES.

No love,

- that angry lady from the woods

Dear self of a few months ago,

I was really annoyed at you for forgetting to bring the tea I like up to camp, but now I realize that it was all a sneaky plot to make sure that there would be tea here when I got back! So, you know. Rock on?

Dear self of right now,

You are no longer the second-highest authority over twenty staff. You cannot delegate. Pack your goddamn clothes up.

- Self

Dear Internet,

HAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

I really do! although past-me also didn't BRING a pillow, and instead bought one in the northwoods, which was an awesome idea, but then I FORGOT that that was what past-me had done and lugged back a pillow I really didn't need. Not that it was heavy, but, like. Space was at a PREMIUM in my life, and there I was flipping my shit about THIS FUCKING PILLOW, OH MY GOD, HOW IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY DID I FIT IT IN MY SUITCASE THE FIRST TIME?????

hayyyyyy imp. hayyyyyy. I am feeling like I should pack my suitcases for the actual move, but then reminding myself that that is SILLY and KIND OF PREMATURE and also I am snotty and lazy. Brb, reading ALL KINDS OF RIDICULOUS CRAP.

nnnnnn, i didn't put it in my suitcase, in the end! I carried it in my arms and used it for a series of ridiculous naps. HELL YES, AIRPLANE, I HAVE MY OWN PILLOW. THERE ARE MARDI GRAS ROOSTERS ON IT. YOU WISH YOU WERE AS BADASS AS ME.

ridiculousness is a GREAT life choice (says the girl with carnaval cocks on her pillow).

hayyyyyyyy liz! I am pretty resigned to the sinuses thing, tbh - like, I made it through the part of my summer where my job is 80% talking, 15% spreadsheets, and 5% unclogging toilets. So that is good!

and now I have tea with honey, and a couch, and ALL OF THE CLEAN LAUNDRY, and a plane ticket to move to boston, so, you know. LIFE IS PRETTY EXCITING. oh god I have so much STUFF auuuuuugh.

HI INTERNETS HI!

I mean, I actually enjoy packing, because I am a weirdo, but, just. Two days ago I had a list, divided across many sheets of paper, and I could hand somebody a list and be like, "go deal with the library", and they would GO! and put books in boxes! and now I just have myself and my own ability to prioritize and reason.
