THAT is what the Mister said to me last night after giving me two orgasms.

True story.

(I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.)

Laying back against the pillows, half asleep from work-day exhaustion and work-night (heh) exertion, my husband turned to me, and in a drowsy voice said, “I want a Mnum-Num.”

I want a Mnum-Num.

It’s okay.  It’s time.  You’re doing the right thing.

I’m doing the right thing.

I’m doing the right thing.

My mantra does not relieve this rending, but I repeat it anyway.

I’m doing the right thing.

Repeat.

I am doing the right thing.

Dog Tired

I’m doing the right thing.

But God damn, it hurts.
