Over the past three weeks I have sent out three fuck it buckets. (the picture above was a merely a componant of one. plus a roll of floss at the bottom. kosher.)
Three plastic pales overflowing with little tinfoil wrapped candies. Reese's (pieces of a broken down today) and little dove promises (of a brighter tomorrow) Cause "when life gives you shit you say "fuck it" and eat yourself some motherfucking candy." Rooster. David Sedaris.
Its just that I have been warrented the responsibility of keeping the united states postal service in business. Its practically my civic duty.
So bundle the buckets up in recycled packaging material- the leftover bubble wrap from a quarter's worth of medical books off half.com plastering the small shovel against the side, compress the loose candy toys and letters in with plastic bags and then wrap the whole thing up in whole foods bags and duck tape and send them on their merry way, to arrive a good fourteen days- buisness days that is later. Eh. USPS. not ASAP. more like SHVHNELS. figure that one out.
Its ok though. because then I get this.
"You have no idea what perfect timing you have. that amazing birthday present came a bit late after my birthday, but it must have been destined to cheer me up on one of those hard news weeks. Got my car insurance bill for 350 bucks. bummer. Did my taxes and owe 1000 bucks to the government. bummer. Got the last word in for grad schools and didn't make the cut for any of them. bummer. found a fuck it bucket in the mail - and none of it's a bumer anymore! Seriously, hadn't had a good candy session for sometime, and i topped it off with a brush and flossing! Wooweee! I think you are great Liz, I am so happy that you are so crafty, fun, and ambitious! I miss you, and hope we can kick it soon in the relative future. Thanks again for the lovely gift, funny how some puff paint and bright colors can change your perspective on things. Cheers to the future!"
And that pretty much puts me in a better place than I could have asked for. So yes. Cheers to the future.
