... Question month! Got any pressing questions for me? This is the time to ask. No question will be left unanswered. 🙂 In other non-news, i'm tired. This morning i'm just tired of being responsible for every damn thing in my life. That means not just my life but my family's life. I'm just tired. … Continue reading March Is…
Just me
On the Occasion of…
...my 62nd birthday, it seems like the appropriate time to celebrate and count some blessings. I may have some health issues, but I feel pretty good most of the time. I have a job I mostly like that pays well. I have enough of all the material things in my life - and more. Much … Continue reading On the Occasion of…
FFF 2-16: It’s Official…
i am officially diabetic. Or, as I pointed out to the somewhat officious nurse practitioner who broke the news to me, i am "a person with diabetes." That is the more person-centered language that's preferred in health care these days. This was after I heard her tell someone down the hall that she had "a … Continue reading FFF 2-16: It’s Official…
Once upon a time…
This is a true story. Once upon a time, about 2004, i was still in my late 40s and just beginning to get interested in the real world of kink. i was newly aware that a whole bunch of people were doing things that would thrill and delight me and didn't end up with me … Continue reading Once upon a time…
Happy BDSM Valentine’s Day
For the record, Valentine's Day is not my favorite holiday - It's a Hallmark holiday so there's too much pressure to "show" your love with material things and I don't like it. Although, in all honesty, I would probably like it more if I got roses. But MP, even when we were in the throes … Continue reading Happy BDSM Valentine’s Day
Monday, Monday
After all my fine talk about FFF, and wanting to get healthy, yesterday i binged on carbs and sugar and fat like there was no such thing as obesity or Diabetes, Type II. Yep. I ate some healthy meals - then filled in the gaps with a vanilla milkshake with 2 shots of espresso (yes, … Continue reading Monday, Monday
Like Agnostic Zetetic Says…
I was looking for quotes related to "work" and found this lovely series of quotes from Agnostic Zetetic, whom I had never heard of. I saw this one first and it just made me laugh. "There is a certain loveliness, I think, to performing deep cleaning in one’s underwear on a beautiful summer day.” ― Agnostic … Continue reading Like Agnostic Zetetic Says…
Not Tuesday, Still TMI
1. Pancakes or waffles? Not either really. I'll hover between them on a buffet, but often as not don't take either. When I do pick one, it's probably pancakes. 2. Steak or Lobster? Both! Ok, if I have to choose - probably lobster. Maybe. I do like a good steak too... 3. Freckles or dimples? … Continue reading Not Tuesday, Still TMI
When I’m Sixty-Two…
Ok, the song is when i'm 64, and i'm not going to be 64 for a couple more years. But I am about to turn 62 in a few short weeks. And still appraising and re-appraising my life. “We have not yet arrived, but every point at which we stop requires a re-definition of our … Continue reading When I’m Sixty-Two…
Moving Forward
Some of my vanilla life is falling into place, or at least sweeping me up into the process. Work is good, and I'm working on some other things that will be satisfying and interesting. I have a friend coming to visit from Where-I-Used-to-Live in about six weeks, and the prospect of a visit in the … Continue reading Moving Forward
