Rebooting III because I used the title “Rebooting” on a post in 2020, and again on a different post in 2022. But things change, my life changes and here we go again… I’ve decided that I need to actually retire someday and not work anymore. This is a huge change. Previously, my “retirement plan” was … Continue reading Rebooting III…

Warning: If you were googling Buddhist something and found this, this is probably not where you want to be. This is an irreverent look at the (mostly imaginary) intersection between Buddhism and kink. I hope that it is done with enough respect that it's not actually offensive. Continuing my journey at the Buddhist temple, I … Continue reading Don’t Laugh… too much

Sunday, I went to a Buddhist Temple. I guess that might be a bit strange all by itself, or seem strange to some of you. But I've been thinking about it for a long time and I found a place not too far from where I live. It's fairly new, which is nice. So I … Continue reading A Strange Thing Happened…

Nope, I have not suddenly developed a kinky relationship with anyone. This is one of those "crying in my beer" posts, so feel free to skip it. I went to the beach this morning, which is always lovely. No less lovely today than ever. I've been to the coffee shop, to the farmers market, for … Continue reading This Life

Ok, we already celebrated on Sunday, as we do. But my birthday is actually later in the week and I think I'll celebrate all week long. Let's start with a little song from the Beatles: https://youtu.be/MjF1bG5LUcs This song is also for you, if it's your birthday too!! The day is almost over, but since I’m … Continue reading It’s My Birthday Week!

Today, December 21 is Winter Solstice. The shortest day of the year. And the beginning of winter. A time for calm and quiet, pulling back and taking care of yourself. December is already my self-proclaimed Self-care month, so that fits nicely. This year I thought I'd start with sharing some winter solstice music. First, a … Continue reading Winter Solstice 2022

I ended my Fetlife exchange with Young Guy mentioning that he did not seem like a dominant. Perhaps that was insensitive. Although I really did just intend to start a conversation about types of kink. However. The road to hell* and all that. Cause here's what happened next: Him: Do you always judge and assume … Continue reading And the Fetlife Not-So-Funny

Having backed off from any vanilla relationship possibilities, I turned my attention to the kink dating scene. I signed up for BDSM Seniors (don't laugh.) Ok, laugh if you want to, but there I was. I couldn't find any info on what it would cost before I made a profile, so I half-ass threw something … Continue reading Fetlife Fun, Edition 58

I have reminded my self to back up and take care of myself. Being on the dating site, even for a minute, was also a reminder that all relationships come with their own baggage. I have to laugh at myself - here’s what I want: Someone who can see me for who I am, both … Continue reading Better, Better…

And I canceled the subscription. Can't do it. No dating apps for me. It was too awkward. Not that I actually talked to anybody. But I had to decide when I was going to talk about MP, and no matter how I pictured that, it didn't feel right. There is just no way to say, … Continue reading Or Not
