My First Solo Vancamping Trip
It’s been my dream to work remotely for as long as I have known that remote work was a thing – long before I ever had a job where it was possible. When I was offered the opportunity to work from home in my last position, I jumped at it…
Soft Focus
I’ve had a jagged couple of days: work has been enormously demanding and I’ve had to deal with all of it alone as everyone on my team except me has multiple days off; I’ve been sleep-deprived as I have tried to adjust to early rising (4:30 am) three days a…
Halcyon Days
What positive emotion do you feel most often? This was the WordPress prompt today, and honestly it couldn’t have been a better one. I mean, my reality: there are so many positive emotions that run through my life nowadays. Love. Joy. Happiness. Appreciation. Pleasure. Delight. Exuberance. Lightheartedness. Playfulness. But the…
Ready to cum for Daddy
I don’t (usually) call him that. That’s never been a part of our dynamic. At least not overtly. If I think about our relationship, though, I can definitely see aspects of it. It’s less about control; more about following his lead. It’s less about domination or dictatorship and more about…
Massage the Anxiety Away
It is our last day/night in Italy. We are staying in Amalfi one last night and having a spa day as a wind-up of our visit. Tomorrow we head back to Naples and then to Amsterdam, where we have a long layover, about 19 hours. We’re going to explore the…
The right way to start his – my – our day
Morning bj’s, “sleepy bj’s,” are the best. We woke earlier than we needed to this morning and cuddled awhile, enjoying each other’s warmth, the sun peeking through the blinds, the feeling of not having to be anywhere just yet. Well except I did have to be somewhere. I’d signed up…
Anxious Days
Most of you that have been reading here long know I have a history of both social anxiety and bouts of generalized anxiety, the strength and duration of which varies. Pandemic times caused a prolonged interval of it, as it did for many people, and was an easily understandable catalyst.…
Cowboy in My Mouth, pt. 1, or, How we almost lost our riding privileges
It’s hard to recall exactly how it started. We were in the sweltering tent, though now at least we had a fan going, so that was helping enormously. We’d also bought a new airbed (yeah yeah, we weren’t roughing it, okay?) and it was set up. He was kicked back,…
A little update
I was pretty proud of myself for managing to post my last missive. I was in a rush before K and I set off on our next adventure, but I wanted to get that one in, and assumed I’d be able to post one more Saturday, to make my three…
The AtoZ Challenge, Letters I & J
The above is an excerpt from a favorite Mary Oliver poem, which happens to be the impetus for the this week’s Revelations prompt, Joy. Where we find it, do we embrace it, how do we manifest in our own lives and the lives of others? But first, some housekeeping, i.e.,…
