Ok I know and I am sorry. I am a dreadful blogger at best these days but life just seems to get in the way all too often lately. I even had someone write to me anonymously asking me to update my blog with my daily activities… ha ha ha! Umm so ok .. this post is for you who ever you are. Let’s see what shall I recap for you… let’s pick a 24 hour period in the life… Hmm how about last Friday for instance.
I woke up around 8am still sniffling and sneezing with a cold that has been doing its damnedest to make my life miserable for the better part of a week. I had a 2 hr session booked starting at 1030 am .. I do the morning email thing and call the client to ask is he sure he wants to take a chance on catching this particular brand of bug .. (ethically it is the right thing to do). He says he is not easily scared and decides to brave it for one hour rather than two theoretically so I can rest afterwards as well. (Nice thought that but not likely). I proceed to start getting ready .. the phone rings.. it’s my god child’s mom asking me if I remember that they need me to get the “wee one” onto the bus that morning (I have been helping out a far bit the last couple weeks with the am / pm bus thing) but I swear though I don’t recall her asking me about that particular day and I am usually REALLY good about writing them into my calendar so somehow that one got miscommunicated! Regardless of who forgot it .. it is now an issue… Oh man, mommy has a meeting she needs to leave for by 1130 to get to on time… DAMN major 15 – 20 min schedule conflict!
I ask my live in slave T for a favor … would he run and sit with the wee one at 1130 so mommy can leave on time and I will be over asap after I finish the session. He says yes of course.. (he is such a great guy on many levels!). Client arrives 1030 on the dot .. first timer to me … and REALLY nice guy .. kind of cute .. quite nicely hung and enough of a masochist to get me going. <grin> I decide I could use some stress relief!! <bigger grin> I throw him into a sweet cock and ball bondage.. (see photo right). And boy oh boy I had some fun with predicament ties!! He whimpers really pretty!! Like man I really didn’t want to have to leave .. but I had a commitment so I actually decide to send the pretty new slave boy home in my rope. He mailed me this photo and several others later that night. <grin>
I get done with the session without a minute to spare, get changed to vanilla gear and race over to my god child’s house within 20 mins so slave T can keep his lunch date that he had scheduled. I am hanging with my favorite girl waiting for the bus when her daddy calls… Danni another very close member of our leather family that lives in the household there, got the call that his mom who has been battling cancer probably won’t make it through the day. The wee one and I almost miss the bus while I am on the phone .. we run down the hill to catch the bus .. wee one off to school, whew mission accomplished!!
I am about to head home to try to rest when Danni arrived home looking naturally devastated. I decide to stay and try to console him and help him book flights to get to where his mom & dad live. The fares are outrageous unless you can get the bereavement fare which is half the price but only valid if the person is already dead. Grrr!!!
I was a travel agent for many years and continue checking and trying and calling and there is no way to get him out that same day… the best we can do is the next morning out of Newark for $1100 bucks round trip unless she passes. He doesn’t have enough and I don’t have a credit card with me. I run home to get a card and to shower and pack what I need for a class that I am teaching in NY city that night for LSM (Lesbian Sex Mafia) on Breath & Blood Flow Play. I race back to the house in time to get the wee one off the bus so that Danni doesn’t have to worry about that , I get her a snack and settled, help her with her homework (all of life should be so hard as the homeork you get in kindergarten) <grin> Then back to the flight booking thing… but while we are getting ready to book the outrageously high fare his phone rings and he is told his mom has passed! 🙁 <long pause> Umm…. oww. That sucks and what do you say when a good friend loses their mom? Lots of hugs and tears and there isn’t a lot to say but .. now he can have the same flights for half what it was 10 mins ago. Talk about not knowing how to feel .. ugghhh!! So .. we get the flight booked ..and it is decided that I will drive him to Newark the next day and in the meantime “Daddy Myke” has made chicken soup and I have a bowl with the family after realizing that I had not stopped once all damn day to eat and then I kiss everyone goodbye and I race out the door to get to the city.
Naturally, what should have been a 90 min drive took over 2 hrs with traffic and then by the time I found a place to park I was at least 20 mins late. Damn damn damn!! And understandably more than a bit flustered. It was honestly not one of my best classes and I definitely felt scattered during that one but I still got quite a few great feedback sheets and some really great comments from folks that came to talk to me afterwards.
We wrap up and I am thinking, “Whew what a friggin’ day!! And Yes I would LOVE to go to the diner and sit for a spell and grab a bite to eat”. I order the Ahi Tuna over mixed greens with fruit and it looks lovely and then when I bite into it I chomped down on a big chunk of clam shell!! Ouch! That really hurt!! Like I am actually lucky I didn’t break a tooth! It just figured with the way my day had been going that something else HAD to go wrong right? Well the manager wanted to bring me another salad but I had sort of lost my appetite .. I mean hell there weren’t even any clams in my meal .. where did that damn shell come from and how did it get into my salad? Yuck!! I am not usually a “class A bitch” or one to complain needlessly but that sort of sucked you know? So I sent the rest of it back uneaten so they did take it off the check and comped me my cup of tea. <smile> I really needed that cup of tea too.. it just so happened that they had Harney’s Earl Grey Supreme so that made up for it but I sure couldn’t wait to get my but home and back into my own cozy bed. Two hours later .. around 2am I arrived .. slipped upstairs and into my jammies. What a damn day!!
The next morning my sweetheart Brett was there and I was so glad to see him. <smile> There was a fair bit more drama at the house that involved ambulances and me watching the wee one again for several hours while poor Brett trekked to NJ to take Danni to the airport but I will spare you the gory details of that next drana filled day. All in all .. I think it gives you a glimpse into the not so damn glamorous life of anything but leisure that I lead. No it is not ALWAYS quite THAT crazy but I do keep pretty busy most weeks and so I am sorry when I don’t stop bye here to update this thing but it generally isn’t just laziness, I swear. 🙁
Tonight I am running around finishing up some packing for a 5 day trip to CA. I have a 2 hour session tomorrow morning .. then I have to finish packing and go to dinner with my sweetheart and crash early becayse he is driving me to the airport very early Thursday.
I am teaching three classes at Folsom Fringe in San Jose on Friday and Saturday then catching the infamous street fair on Sunday and flying home Monday night. Tuesday I get to start the insanity all over again with the am & pm bus duty with the wee one and then a 2 hour session that night starting at 530! Wed I am hoping to spend a little quality time with my sweetheart (who isn’t coming to CA) and then I have multi hour sessions booked on Friday and Sat already! Whew! I am sooo ready for a little vacation I think!
My last scheduled event of this year will be Black Rose in DC Halloween weekend. I hope to see a bunch of folks I know and love there and then I am looking forward to taking some time off of all the travelling until after the holidays! I will stop back after Folsom and let you know how it was. 🙂 Hugs!!
