Little Letters

Dear Apartment 10,
Thank you for being cute and posting this little letters idea today (even though it originally came from Taza, but I haven't gotten to her on my blog reader yet). Writing this is keeping me from flying off the handle, or breaking down today.

Dear Nursing Home,
When I drive through 2 states to bring to your attention my grandmother's labored, constant cough, you should take me seriously, so she does not end up in the hospital for the umpteenth time.

Dear Dr. Gallagher,
Please call me back and let me know what's going on with my grandmother. Calling me to talk about possible end-of-life plans and then not updating me at all in 12 hours is making me anxiety-ridden.

Dear Mom,
Please be a little more reliable. Please also don't hate me forever when I tell you that I'm not coming home for Christmas this year. See also, Postsecret.

Dear Self,
Remember to put on eyelid primer first or else the eye makeup will all slide off, doing a terrible job of hiding the puffy eyes from crying last night.

Dear Students,
Please stop being so dense. I'm losing patience.

Court

Tomorrow morning I have a court date to officially become Guardian of my grandmother. This was a 2 month process. You'd think when someone dies, they'd speed it up a little, but nooo. This is out of state, so I'll be doing a lot of driving in a less-than-12-hour span. I have to be somewhere in the evening here on Friday, something I've been looking forward to for months, so please pray to the traffic gods for me. I have to get out of the state no later than 1pm so I don't hit Beltway rush hour.
