Andrea Sends a Letter, Volume I

  • Episode 1: Spend a day finding a card that isn't obviously from a drug store discount bucket but also doesn't cost $7.95.
  • Episode 2: Keep card and envelope in bag for 2-2.5 weeks. (I'm traveling! I can't write CARDS!)
  • Episode 3: Return from travels. Wait several days. Call someone to get address of recipient. Write address on a used post-it note found in car. Put post-it in bag with card.
  • Episode 4: Two days later, address envelope, be grateful key post-it is still there. Write first half of card. Discover it is glossy and thus smearing everywhere. Stop.
  • Episode 5: Carry open card around another hour. Finally close it, hope ink doesn't get destroyed.
  • Episode 6: 3 week days and 2 weekend days later, finish second half of card.
  • Episode 7: Keep it open on desk for several hours. Close it, lick envelope. Put in bag.
  • Episode 8: Leave in bag until there is time to go to Post Office to get stamp. But the Post Office closes at 5 PM. Also, it is cold out. 2 more days pass.
