I decided to take a break from blogging and slowly re-emerging, I needed some time to devote to other things in my life.
I’ve been taking the time to figure myself out more, what I need, what I want and different things I want to accomplish in the short and long term. Some bumps in the road happened personally and medically, which delayed me and took away some of my energy but things are better now.
I’ll be posting more soon, missed blogging but wanted to put out a quick update.
I haven’t been nearly as active on here lately, life has been wonderful, challenging but also busy. I’ve been spending a lot more time working on myself and exploring different aspects that I’m still trying to figure out. Sometimes, social media can be draining and I needed the break from it for a bit to dig into my self a bit more.
I’m unfortunately also resting my ankle which has been bothering me for just over a week now. I thought I was doing better but it started acting up again at Rascals so I’m trying to rest it as much as I can. For me, when I’m sick or injured, it’s rough. I don’t like being forced to take it easy and not do stuff. I would rather be able to go out but choose not to then having to say no due to a physical limitation. PG and I are opposites when we get sick/injured, I tend to crave more time with friends in lower key ways and he prefers to be alone and distract himself. We have both talked about it and realize how we are but both try our best to take care of each others in our different ways. Today, he was really sweet and picked up some groceries for me as walking is painful. When you are injured, doing something like going to the grocery store is challenging and painful. Your mind tells you it shouldn’t be a big deal as it usually isn’t but as soon as you step down, your body is saying no, rest.
The next couple of weeks are going to be great. PG and I are celebrating five years together. I still can’t believe how the time has flown by and how deeply in love we are. I’m still in love with him and we keep growing together. We will be having a private night this Wednesday for dinner and play, a friends Halloween party this weekend and then a special surprise planned for the beginning of November. I’m also heading down to Seattle for Leather Reign on November 11th and I’m looking forward to seeing some of my friends and the workshops. I’m hoping to write more whether it’s private or public and keep growing.
It’s been really busy the past little bit with:
Back to back weekends in Seattle area took it’s toll but I had a blast, learned a lot and strength and formed new connections. I’ll be writing about more experiences soon but thought I would stop in and say hi. Summer is always busy but how has everyone’s summer been so far?
Life has been busy but in a delicious sort of way. I’ve noticed that I had energy missing the past bit. My doctor found out my iron was low and now that I’ve been correcting it, I’ve been noticing a difference which makes me happy and much more me. Now to spend a bit more time blogging but when the sun is out, it’s hard to stay inside.
One lovely thing that I got up to was last night, a friend of mine took me to a Korean spa which was absolutely lovely. There was a hot tub, cold tub, wet and dry sauna, salt, charcoal and earth room along with other services you could buy. I decided to indulge in a salt scrub. I was warned to soak in the hot tub or else it would be painful for at least 30 minutes prior. I much as I was tempted to see how it would feel with a brief soak, I following the directions and glad I did.
I absolutely loved it, the feeling of baby soft skin and relaxation was priceless. It was complete different from other spa treatments I have. Typically you have to cover up more (underwear on or a towel) where there, naked is the norm. They work over your whole body, spread your legs open, scrub your ass cheeks, breasts and everything but your nipples and vulva. There isn’t that barrier that is usually there but it took getting use to it as most services are more cautious about touching you. There it doesn’t seem to even be a though. It’s how it should be, treating your whole body and not just the skin that a bikini exposes.
It’s just a perfect little place filled with downtime and good company (if you choose to bring some). I think I found a new thing to indulge in though and highly recommend it.
Yesterday, PG and I participated in the Underwear Affair to raise money and awarness for cancers below the belt. It was fun and lots of money was raised for a good cause. We have some great fundraising ideas for next year which involves bending over and taking a spanking. If you want to join my team, please contact me.
The reason I wanted to post was to remind people to get checked out and for female bodied folks, get a pap every year and male bodied folks over 45 to get a prostate exams. It’s worth taking the time to get checked out as it’s better that they find it early. Wouldn’t you want your partner, family and friends to get checked? Spread the word and get checked yourself.
I’ve been bouncing around for over a week right now as I’m heading off with PG for a weekend getaway. Our first kayaking/camping weekend away for two nights. We aren’t sure how much privacy we will have but we are hoping for some. We packed some toys and a gag, just in case. I love the feeling of waking up and snuggling outside, having a cigar and drinks and just relaxing with him. It’s going to be great, I’ll be back around later on Sunday and catch up on e-mails and some blog posts then. I still have my wedding kidnapping scene to share 
Have a great weekend everyone!
Friday was an interesting evening and it goes to show, sometimes throwing out the plans and just going with the flow leads to a great evening. We went to an art gallery that had some images from the great book, “I’ll Show You Mine.” You should really checked it out. Unfortunately, we had a negative experience with a man there and it turned into an aggressive situation when we asked him what he was filming the show for. His reaction was uncalled for and even when someone in charge came over, we didn’t feel safe or comfortable staying there as the man was giving us dirty looks and still aggressive. We headed out and decided to take a walk around downtown and had a great time. We stopped in at a cigar stop and even grabbed a cigar for later that weekend. At the end of the night, we discovered this cool, tattoo place. At first we weren’t sure what it was but they invited us in to take a look at the cool decor before we ended out for a drink and some appetizers. The night ended up being saved by some great friends and exploring my hometown. Throwing the plan out the windows works sometimes.
A special dessert they made for me
The Saturday, I was lucky enough to win tickets to the Ready for Pleasure: Opt’s 50th Gala and Celebration for Options for Sexual Health. They are a great non-profit that provides sexual education and clinic services in BC. I brought S as my date and we had a great time with a lovely dinner and entertainment which included a whisky tastings, burlesque, dancing and a chocolate foundation room. It was a fun night and I ended up walking away with a 5 pack of Montecristco cigars.
Queen Elizabeth Park
Sunday morning was spent in bed which was needed as I’ve been pretty busy during the week and on the weekend. It turned out to be a beautiful day and my date day with PG was postponed as he was off kayaking. I decided I needed some fresh air and headed to Queen Elizabeth Park to get some exercise. I haven’t been there nearly as much as I should. It’s a beautiful city park to walk around but it is crowded on the weekend. I’ll have to bring lunch and a friend one time and take advantage of the park.
A bit of self play ended my Sunday night with fooling around with some rope.
Time has just flown by this month, I was immersed in two incentives and then came down with a bug that knocked me out for a bit. The first week of April was the Passionate Bonds Intensive, which I talked about in this post. I’m still so happy that I went and the knowledge that I gained is making PG and I feel so much closer. After I returned and a weekend rest, I went down to Max’s Bondage Intensive in Seattle. I’ll be writing about it in a separate entry but it was incredible. I went from learning the basics to suspending someone in one weekend. Granted, I don’t feel comfortable suspending someone now but it put me on the path and gave me the knowledge to keep practising and learning. It also confirmed that I want to learn more.
Once I got back, I started feeling ill and PG was just getting over catching a worse bug himself. It looked like I caught what he had so on Friday to be safe, we had to cancel our plans to attend the protocol dinner. It made me sad but PG reminded me that being sick and serving is not his ideal and wants me to be healthy when we go. Plus, I didn’t want to spread any germs either.
Swap Meet Scores
I volunteered to DM at Rascals on the Saturday and had wanted to go to the swap meet before. PG was really sweet and surprised me with rewards for 6 months of quitting smoking. We got metal shackles, leather mittens and a rattan looped caned. He also scored an arm binder for himself, it smells wonderful and will be fun to play with. Everything was such a great deal and there was more stuff that we had to say no too. Rascals was fun, it was great seeing some friends and hanging out. I was able to wear the shackles around the dungeon for awhile and serve drinks while wearing them. It was a fun activity trying to balance two drinks with limited movement. I didn’t have much energy that night and decided not to do pick up play that night. Not that many people stayed to the very end which allowed PG and I cuddled up while watching the final scenes. The night ended perfectly with PG and I spending some time alone after bringing me home. Between travelling and him being sick, we have missed a lot of time together and was eager to reconnect.
During our walk
Sunday afternoon was rainy and chilly outside but we took PG dog and walked around Acadia Beach and Spanish Banks. It was lovely walking around and throwing rocks into the water for his dog but we were both eager to get back home and play. After a couple of hours and our heads damp, we headed back where I took a long, hot bath before PG returned.
I was told to be naked, shackles ready and my collar on. After greeting each other, he led me into the bedroom where we did some arm stretches before experimenting with the shackles and the different position they can go in. After being used, he put me on the bed, put my hands in the mittens and attached them to either side of the bed before sliding on the gas masks to conceal my sounds. After he was satisfied, he took our new rattan looped cane and hit my breast multiple times until they were burning red and throbbing. I think we got up to 100 before he let me rest. He wants me to increase my pain tolerance on them as we haven’t done a lot of heavy play with them recently. This and nipple clamps are a fun way to train them, all training should be this fun. After more intimate time, we blissfully rested in each other arms before pulling ourselves away for a chili dinner and chocolate. What a perfect way to spend a Sunday even with a stuffy nose and bruised breast today.
Last week Friday, I donated blood and unfortunately I reacted to the cleaning solution used and was recovering for the majority of the weekend and the beginning of the week. I still have the reaction but it’s slowly going away. Don’t worry, if you have never given blood this is extremely uncommon. I just happened to have a reaction to the medical skin cleaner they use.
I wasn’t going to post about it except for on twitter but events the past couple of days reminded me just how much they need blood. If you can donate, please do. I know the restrictions on who can donate could be vastly improved and I don’t agree with all of them however we all will need blood or know someone who does. If you are in Vancouver, I’m donating blood in May. You can send me a message if you want someone to go with and we can co-ordinate.
I know it’s a PSA and we get them all the time but it is important to me. Now that my iron level is acceptable, I’m planning on donating on a regular basis. I found a fun, interesting thing about my blood type:
45% of Canadians have type O blood. Group O blood is like no other and can only receive blood from other people who are group O.
One unit of your blood can help save up to three lives, and we know that giving blood is in your nature.
In addition to your tendency towards romanticism, an aptitude for writing and a love of hearty eating and exercise, here are a few other things you should know about being an O:
Personality Career Health Business-minded Accountant Seafood or red meat Clear-sighted Caterer Vegetables Respectful Businessperson Vigorous aerobic excercise
Now back to your regular, kinky lives.
Time is just flying by. I can’t believe there is less then 2 weeks till the GrUE. If you want to buy a ticket, I would act on it fast as it appears that we might sell out. You can click below to register.
The preparations are going well and smoothly. I’m really looking forward for the event to happen and see people from the East Coast, Seattle area, California, here and elsewhere. It’s going to be a great mix of locals and non. I can’t wait to see what topics will be taught, the discussions and the social interactions. Everyone I’ve spoken to has been to a GrUE has had a great time, learned new things and formed new connections. I love the fact that I was able to bring this to Vancouver and I’m looking forward to what it does to our community here.
On other news, I’m happy to report that I’m almost unpacked and settled in to my new place. I really pushed myself to get a lot done this past week and it feels nice to look around and feel comfortable. I’m hoping that PG can install a couple of hard points today and then it’s just a bit more work till I’m happy. I’ve been told that I have to wait till after the GrUE to paint, thinking about it I agree. I’m hoping to have a lot of happy memories here.
Now, off to do some more work and get ready for a date afternoon with PG. I’ve missed writing here.
