I have the house to myself again today - MP left on Thursday so it's been quiet around here. Yesterday, since i didn't get to go to the play party, i went to the March for Our Lives, which was pretty phenomenal. Then i took myself out for dinner, where i sat outside for the … Continue reading Sunday Silence

FFF – 3-23-18 (on Saturday)
i was getting ready to do one of those "oh, i'm a terrible person, i haven't lost any more weight and i'm not doing the things i said i'd do and...' And then you all would have (probably) said kind things and i would have felt cheered up but still felt like a failure. A … Continue reading FFF – 3-23-18 (on Saturday)
Maybe
There's an event here Saturday. Here, Where-i-Live. Yes, a kink event. MP is out of town. That makes it easy. Don't have to have any conversation about it. i might go. i might not go. My social anxiety might flare up and make it seem like a horrible idea. i'm not as young as i … Continue reading Maybe

Sunday Special
I've spent part of the morning planning the rest of the month and next quarter. I've started using a paper and pen planner, something I haven't done since I had a "Daytimer" in my pre-computer days. i bought myself some fancy gel pens and have color coded my life, which is something i've never done … Continue reading Sunday Special
FFF – 3-16-18

Guilty Pleasures
I was talking about one of my guilty pleasure in the comments (which happens to be reading Nora Roberts novels.) And it made me wonder - what do other people consider their guilty pleasures? Not something really bad, just something that you kind of keep private because you think people might judge you if they … Continue reading Guilty Pleasures
Bonus Question – from Jz
Thanks to Jz, I have this fascinating question, which i’ve spent an inordinate amount of time pondering. You have won a special magical vacation: For one year, you will live the life of any character in fiction that you choose. Who do you pick? My first thought was, aha! I can be any BDSM character … Continue reading Bonus Question – from Jz
A Story of Being Called to Oneself
Today, i'm feeling overwhelmed and worried. I feel like the foundation i've been standing on has turned into sand and i'm slipping around in it. i'm working on trusting myself to reach out to others for help where i need it and to resolve the new problems that have come up as best i can. … Continue reading A Story of Being Called to Oneself
Some Other Questions
Actually, I'm kind of cheating here - there were a couple of comments on my last post that included questions, and I answered them in the comments, but now I'm thinking it might be a blog post all by itself. First, I wanted to share this: And then - Amy had asked a question about … Continue reading Some Other Questions
