That ‘n’ This ‘n’ Random Bits

I typed ‘random’ into the free-image search function on Unsplash! and this is what I got.

Some random (or not-so-random) thoughts that have come to mind as a result of other bloggers’ posts I read this week:

  1. If you are going to venture into trampling as a kinky activity, do not start with high heels. Also, balance your weight if you are the one doing the walking so as not to injure the innards of the one prone beneath you. (Or try it with you underneath and your partner above — yes it can be done.) (You can also do a bit of stomping while you’re both lying down.) But if you’re standing up: walk heel-to-toe.
  2. The Paris Wife is a worthwhile read. You don’t have to like Hemingway (I don’t); you *do* have to have a basic understanding that “free love” was not invented in the 1960s.
  3. I appreciate it when people leave comments here. That said: if you don’t feel like commenting, but you came to read, I appreciate that you are reading. And if you read something you like, and you hit the ‘Like’ button… I like that too. 🙂 It tells me that someone is relating to what I’m saying, even if it doesn’t spark further conversation at that precise moment.
  4. Food is getting ridiculously expensive. And yet, for some reason, we’ve been eating at restaurants a lot over the past 10 days or so. That’s gotta stop.
  5. Sometimes things people write make me laugh. Sometimes the things that make me laugh are not *supposed* to make me laugh. But they do.
  6. I think there is a difference between dating for the purpose of trying to find someone to be in a relationship with and ‘dating’ for the purpose of hooking up. But essentially, if you’re going out with someone — regardless of your end goal — isn’t the act of ‘going out’ still “a date”?
  7. Some people don’t know much about mothers. I, however, know far too much about my own mother. Much of that “too much” is stuff I wish I didn’t know.

And some thoughts that have nothing to do with other people’s blogs:

  1. Koo Koo Kangaroo movement videos are a fantastic way to get five minutes of exercise out of your laptop. You just copy their movements. I highly recommend “Superheroes Unite” and “All I Eat Is Pizza.” 😉
  2. I think Squatchy is a fabulous name for a Sasquatch.
  3. Bookmarks make great Valentines.
  4. Pizza is my love language. (see also: #4, above)
  5. My husband thinks we should just move his not-fully-spanked-ness to next year. Which means that for birthday 63 I will have to give him like 471 spanks. I think no.
  6. Prepping tax paperwork is a great reminder that I’m broke.
  7. I got a new sweater that I love. It has pockets. Like so, only mine is black (from Shein):
^NOT ME^

Somehow an entire week has passed by in what feels like only five minutes. I suspect that will be my norm for a while; my posting schedule will likely slow for a bit as a result. But there are several random bits floating about in my grey matter that will require more fleshing-out than a simple list will allow. So when my thoughts align with my schedule such that I can write about those things, I will.

Meanwhile: What random bits are you chewing over this week? I’d love to know. 🙂

Birthday Spanks

Friday Morning

“Come here and bend over my knee,” I tell him.

He looks dubiously at the size of my lap and the elevation at which I am sitting. “Is that going to work?”

“Come here,” I repeat.

He bends, slightly angled, with his rear end within smacking distance.

Smack! Smack! begin the whacks.

After about twelve of them, I say, “One.”

And after about eight more, he says, “One and a half.”

I laugh.

“I know how to count,” he says.

Indeed…

We’re pulling into the driveway, and I — feeling better enough to be slightly feisty flirtatious — ask him: Do you wanna make out?

He turns a very eager-looking face toward me in answer.

“Well, we can’t,” I say. “I’m still sick.”

He answers with: Well, is your vagina?

“So… ” I clarify, “You want to make out with my vagina?”

A Sick Fuck

      13 Comments on A Sick Fuck

So I told you I’m sick, right?

Well, it’s not COVID.

After receiving that negative test result, however, my symptoms had continued/set-in to the point where I knew I needed to Do SomethingTM about the situation. A regular cold, for me, lasts three days. As of this morning, I was at five days of symptoms with a still-deepening cough and an unsettling rattle in my chest. So off to the doctor I went.

The verdict?

I have bronchitis.

It’s a viral infection and there are no antibiotics (antibiotics don’t work on viruses) to treat it, so basically I was given a prescription strength cough suppressant with a numbing effect to help me sleep (I can’t sleep sitting up and I cough up my lungs when I lie down) and help ease the pain in my throat. Otherwise, it’s “drink lots of fluids and get as much rest as possible” (I’m doing that already) and “don’t smoke” (WTF? I don’t smoke!) and “don’t go back to work until at least Monday.”

Oh.

Well, that last part sucks.

Normally, I don’t have a ‘regular’ job. I’m self-employed and I contract with all kinds of different entities, which means I’m in a variety of community, home, educational, emergency, and medical situations every day. But I started my kindergarten thing recently — which has just gotten into a regular routine after three weeks — and now I can’t go. (And haven’t gone all week.) So come next Monday it’ll be like starting over.

: sigh :

But anyway…

I told the doctor that we all mask and wash our hands and yadda yadda and he was like, “Well you got this virus even though you wear a mask. And you can spread this virus even though you wear a mask.”

Which…

Think about that for a minute.
