A Bonus
If my new life plans work out - which would involve retiring from one of my jobs, continuing the other one, which is about 30 hours/ week, and moving to a warmer part of the country - if that works out, i would be able to get involved with a kink community again. You have … Continue reading A Bonus

SO Out of Sorts…
And as soon as i thought that - because i really am still out of sorts, and trying to ride it out - i decided to google images for it. That was actually helpful. First, i found this: ...which is exactly right. That's how i feel. Not every minute of the day, but a … Continue reading SO Out of Sorts…

i feel like my energy is being pulled in different directions. It's like this: And it kind of feels like this: But then you have to imagine it's a GIF and everything is being tugged toward the outside and away from each other. Does that make sense? Yeah.
