You know, I might have said this here before. Because my life spirals round and round, I find myself in almost the same spots over and over again. For example, there's a meme going around FB that I keep starting to comment on or repost and disagree with. I had my commentary all prepared in … Continue reading On Strike

Just When I Thought My Submission Was Dead…
Just when I thought my submission was dead, I was scrolling through FB, in my relatively vanilla, real life persona, and ran across this. This was a post from a group I belong to that is not labeled BDSM, that has thousands of members. The post got 3.3 K likes and 267 comments, most of … Continue reading Just When I Thought My Submission Was Dead…
The Imperfect Pleasure of Privilege
I played with a lot of titles for this post. Gently laughing at myself, I considered "Complaints of Privilege, from Just Another White Girl," but I thought other people might not get the self-deprecating humor. I considered "Seeking Perfection from a Position of Privilege". Then, switching paradigms, I thought about "First Wife or Slave Girl?" … Continue reading The Imperfect Pleasure of Privilege
The Reclaiming, Part 3
This series starts here. He removed the nipple clamps quite unexpectedly. Overwhelmed with the pain of circulation returning to the nipples, she cried out, moved her hands to rub the nipples. He caught her wrists, stopping her from touching herself. Chuckled as she twisted, struggling against the pain. “Here,” he said, pulling her arms up, … Continue reading The Reclaiming, Part 3
The Reclaiming, Part II
(The first part of this started here. After the part about Celebrations.) He left her simmering for 5 minutes, alone in the kitchen, naked, on her knees. When she heard his footsteps, she looked up, so eager and hopeful she couldn't help it. He grinned, and said, "There's my good girl." He said it casually, … Continue reading The Reclaiming, Part II

The Pleasures, 3
Today, I made chicken vegetable soup. I don’t think it’s as good as the last time I made it, but it’s not half bad. I had it for dinner, with some fancy multi-grain bread from the bakery. Yum. I had some work stuff I needed to do and I did it. I got all the … Continue reading The Pleasures, 3
Sleep?
Ahhh elusive sleep. I have slept like crap the whole month of October, according to my Fitbit. And according to my body, which has apparently decided that 5 - 6 1/2 hours sleep a night is plenty. Sometimes I can't go to sleep. Sometimes I wake up too early. Sometimes, like last night, I seem … Continue reading Sleep?
Not Exactly Pleasure…
I did my final round of marathon dentist visits yesterday. Not my last visit to the dentist, of course, but I think this was my last of the super long dental events. How long was it? (There's a joke in here sonewhere, but I'm not feeling it.) Seven and a half hours. That's how long … Continue reading Not Exactly Pleasure…
The Pleasures, 2
This is part of a series. Because I often use this space to bitch and complain, or to process the more painful parts of my life, I've decided to share some of my everyday pleasure too. Hope you enjoy... The beach is always a pleasure. The air, the sound of the waves, the people, the … Continue reading The Pleasures, 2
