For what it’s worth, I am no stranger to u-turns and do-overs. I know there are people who seem to be born knowing what they want to do. I am not one of them. I think of myself as a wanderer, out here exploring new worlds. Unlike Christopher Columbus, I’m not interested in looting, conquering, … Continue reading Siri, Get Directions…
Just me
The Little Things?
Sir and I continue to have regular sessions, maintenance on Wednesday, play on Sunday - although we're switching to Tuesday and Saturday, starting last night. I think it is actually, really helpful for me and improves the quality of my life overall. However. There's always an "however" with me, isn't there? Lol, that's how I … Continue reading The Little Things?
Rope
I love rope - have i mentioned that? Lol, yes, I know I have. But last night reminded me of how much I love it. Just the sense of being restrained is so lovely. While I was securely tied to a chair, legs open, Sir used a number of strappy toys on me - my … Continue reading Rope
Demisexual?
I am fascinated and often delighted by the variety of ways we can define our sexuality. Sir has been researching some terms for himself (which I won't share, although he has indicated how he identifies on his Fetlife profile.) But I've been thinking about myself today and who I'm attracted to. Yes, I like labels. … Continue reading Demisexual?
Rolling with the Resistance
I think of it as a therapy technique. When clients are resistant to change, it's pointless to argue with them. As a therapist, I would take a step back and just acknowledge that they didn't actually have to change. Then we could talk about what would happen if they stayed on the same path they … Continue reading Rolling with the Resistance
On Strike?
I have been feeling a little bit lost lately. Work is not going well, entirely my own fault. I’m back to not doing the things I need to do. Apparently, I can not do my work for any number of reasons. Too distracted, too busy with other things, too tired, too unsure of what to … Continue reading On Strike?
Words, words and more words…
I'm laughing about today's WordPress prompt for today: If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which word would it be? Why? I'm not one to ban words just on general principle. If I were going to ban any word, it would probably be the n-word, but then there are black people who … Continue reading Words, words and more words…
What about Slut?
In a comment on my last post, Helen of Ten Shades and Me offered that she doesn't like the word slut. She noted that it's overused, almost banal, and not creative at all. I can't argue with that. At the same time, it doesn't affect me that way. In the Meriam Webster dictionary, slut is … Continue reading What about Slut?
It’s My Birthday
I'm 68 years old today. I have no idea how I got this old. I can still remember thinking that by the time I was this old, I'd practically be dead. And yet - I'm not!! So Happy Birthday to me! We're doing the family celebration this weekend, but Sir and I will celebrate tonight, … Continue reading It’s My Birthday
Settling
Today, I meditated. I saw clients. I went for a long walk. I cooked - sautéed shrimp and portabella mushrooms, fresh zucchini, squash, and cherry tomatoes. Sir reassigned me the task I didn’t do. This time, I am to do it every other day for 10 days, and report back to him each time. I … Continue reading Settling
