So, I got my nails done today. I used to do it religiously every two weeks, but the pandemic completely disrupted that habit. Now, I go sporadically. I've written about getting pedicures before. I have lots of opinions about how I like them. The pedicurist can't be too delicate with my feet - or too … Continue reading How ’bout Some Cheese with that Whine?

Celebrating the Blue Wave
Democrats won big last night here in the US - and I'm so relieved and grateful. Maybe the tide is turning. I feel like we've been battered so badly by Trump, and the things he's done, that it's hard to feel the joy. And I know it doesn't solve the huge problems we have in … Continue reading Celebrating the Blue Wave
In Season
It's summer in the US - well, in the whole Northern hemisphere. Surfboards and swimming, sweaty afternoons, sunshine and the pool. Long walks in the early morning or evening. And food. Rainier cherries are in season. It's a short season for these cherries, which are the most delicious cherries ever. I don't know if they're … Continue reading In Season

Father's Day and Summer Solstice on the same day!! Well, Father's Day in the US anyhow. I've been thinking about both today. Summer Solstice is lovely, all warmth and fresh fruit and vegetables, walking in the evening or the early morning... I love summer. “…This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its … Continue reading June 21, 2026
The Adventure: Reconnecting…
This was an adventure I didn't want. A trip to visit MP's relatives near Where-We-Used-to-Live to celebrate his daughter's graduation. Two days of driving the mobility van to spend three days there (in two different small towns) and two days of driving home. His family is fine, they're good people, we like each other. And … Continue reading The Adventure: Reconnecting…
Taking Care of Myself
If you’re looking for a post on self-care, you are not in the right place. “Taking care of myself” is my preferred euphemism for self-pleasuring. Also known as playing with myself. Or masturbation, which I think is an ugly word for a very satisfying experience. Anyhow. If you’ve been reading here a while, you probably … Continue reading Taking Care of Myself
Not Yet
Anticipation. My body feels different. Or I feel different about my body. So aware of my movements, aware of the belt next to my skin. I rub my hands on my thighs. Even clothed, the sensations move down my leg as I stroke, warming the palm of my hand as it caresses. Moving my fingers … Continue reading Not Yet
Valentine’s Day 2026
Generally, when I write about Valentine's Day, it starts like this: 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 … Continue reading Valentine’s Day 2026
Imbolc 2026
Imbolc, a Celtic festival, is today. It marks the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Summer Solstice. I welcome the returning light and embrace the promise of a new beginning. Imbolc is a time to spark your creativity, start new projects, step into the energy of moving toward new life. I release what no longer … Continue reading Imbolc 2026
Meet the Spoon. My Spoon
A friend of mine recently wrote a post about a wooden spoon. She called it the “ouchie little monster.” It looked - well, you know how this work. It was intriguing. It called to me. And it was scary. It didn’t take long for my Sir to let me know that I was going to … Continue reading Meet the Spoon. My Spoon
