You know, I might have said this here before. Because my life spirals round and round, I find myself in almost the same spots over and over again. For example, there's a meme going around FB that I keep starting to comment on or repost and disagree with. I had my commentary all prepared in … Continue reading On Strike

Just when I thought my submission was dead, I was scrolling through FB, in my relatively vanilla, real life persona, and ran across this. This was a post from a group I belong to that is not labeled BDSM, that has thousands of members. The post got 3.3 K likes and 267 comments, most of … Continue reading Just When I Thought My Submission Was Dead…

Today, I made chicken vegetable soup. I don’t think it’s as good as the last time I made it, but it’s not half bad. I had it for dinner, with some fancy multi-grain bread from the bakery. Yum. I had some work stuff I needed to do and I did it. I got all the … Continue reading The Pleasures, 3

Ahhh elusive sleep. I have slept like crap the whole month of October, according to my Fitbit. And according to my body, which has apparently decided that 5 - 6 1/2 hours sleep a night is plenty. Sometimes I can't go to sleep. Sometimes I wake up too early. Sometimes, like last night, I seem … Continue reading Sleep?

I did my final round of marathon dentist visits yesterday. Not my last visit to the dentist, of course, but I think this was my last of the super long dental events. How long was it?

So I thought I might start a series where … Continue reading The Pleasures, 1

I come here for balance, I think. Sometimes anyhow. When I’m feeling a bit off, a bit askew, this place is my touchstone. I wrote that, and then I thought, ”What the hell do I mean by that?” So I had to look up “touchstone” to see if it meant what I wanted to say. … Continue reading A Touchstone

I ran across this quote recently. Something in it speaks to me - oh, maybe it's all the ways it is me. Although, I loved my waiting tables days. It reads like a poem to me - even though it's not. But here's how it reads to me. “The useless days will add up to … Continue reading For You

I had thought I was going to finish Part 3 of Her Friday Check-In, but I'm tired and not feeling great today Canceled clients and meetings this morning to sleep. Running a bit behind on some admin stuff, so I'm hoping to take my time and catch up on all that today. My attention is … Continue reading IRL Interlude

I move in phases, I think. My needs ebb and flow like waves, but there are tides too, not just the roll of each wave. Like most introverts, I have a deep need for alone-ness - which I've indulged this week while MP was out of town. From that sense of being alone, the need … Continue reading The Need for Connection
