November Roll Call - 11/1/2012 10:34:25 PM

Howdy everyone. Well, we made it through Halloween...now on to Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday!) and uhhh...all those things in December (including my birthday).

First of all: to those who bore the wrath of Sandy: I hope you and yours are alive, well, and recovering some sense of normalcy.

Here on the Central Coast we had a bit of a shaker a few weeks ago...no damage that I know of. I don't know if it's bad or good that my phone's weather app records the details of that stuff within seconds of it happening. It was a 5.3. What makes them especially scary is our proximity to Diablo Canyon (nuclear power plant.) I don't like to spend much time thinking about that <buries head in the sand and crosses fingers AND toes!>

I got the verdict on my health stuff. Bottom line, folks...don't take NSAIDS long-term if you can possibly avoid it. They chemically poked nasty bleeding holes in my innards (saw those in living color ), making me severely anemic and uncomfortable as hell. I'm on the mend and feeling a 1000% better, but it's going to take awhile to fully heal. It's wonderful to be able to hike, bike, dance and swim again without weakness, gasping for air and feeling dizzy.

Other than that...all is well. The cats are glad it's finally woodstove weather. S is glad too because he enjoys the huge pots of soups and stews I cook on it (um, yeah, pioneer woman!) Observing Cabin Boy's patience and stamina being a 'sandwich generation' caregiver to his mom and young son reminds me what I love most about him (huge heart, strong back!) but I worry he's going to wear himself out. I miss spending quality time alone with him but at least I'm able to help out now I'm feeling better.

The band's been doing house concerts every month. Pushing rehearsals for them has really brought up our level. I love these people more and more as time goes on. It's sorta like a poly family, but with music as the common denominator instead of...uhhh, sex.

So what's up, everybody? Hope you are well and happy!

That Frankenstorm thing killed our Halloween this year. No trick-or-treaters came (other than the two 13 year olds my son knows and had asked to come over). We had had to shovel six inches of snow off the walkway and put down salt, so I understand why nobody wanted to take their toddlers out in that mess.

I am tired all the time, often sleeping more than 12 hours per day, so I guess I will need to get some blood work done to see whazzup. Since I usually get very short on Vitamin D by this time of year...I started taking some. (Thank God it's not MY stomach/innards that have as many holes as swiss cheese. Hope you are better soon, MDA.)

Halloween is usually my favorite time of the year and it's kinda depressing to have to pack it all away, but that's what I'll be doing later today after bo arrives to do all the hauling upstairs and such. I've got at least six large tubs full. The cats always get so excited when we start putting up the decorations.

I traded a friend something for a dragontail flogger she had made...and it has become my favorite.

Mom has been gone in Texas for about two weeks, going on a Caribbean cruise with my sister, her new hubby, and my niece. Her return had to be delayed because of the storm. There was a weather advisory to stay off of the roads and we were expecting 12 inches of snow, so I stayed home. I hope she enjoys her extra days in the warm sun...cuz she will be coming home to snow and slush.

This past month bo and I have hosted two play parties, both were a success. Yay! One of the couples we are friends with come over often AND...she is helping me ball up skeins of yarn that I have been keeping in tubs. Dang she's fast! I had three stuffed grocery bags full that I thought would keep her hands busy for weeks and she was done in maybe five days. I've got plenty more where that came from, and as long as she's game...so okay, I did give her lots of my thuddy ribbon floggers and possibly the hours spent are evening out. Still, I am grateful. Doing these at home is very difficult, cuz my kitties are badder than hers are. Also, I have SIX. Sometimes I swear that cats confuse yarn with dental floss...

I have been watching some of my hair grow back out. Months back I was wearing a hair eating necklace that kept breaking off strands of my hair. (Serpentine) When my hair is braided or even in a pony tail, I have lots of hair hanging down my neck. Aargh. In another few months it will be long enough to stop making me feel like a spider has landed on my neck.

bo and I are doing fine. Um, our guests are getting used to how I'm kinda going Hollywood with our small dungeon. LOL, I have fabric from midway down the wall to the floor that looks like dark cobblestones, and yep, I couldn't resist putting fat plastic Halloween dungeon chains" around the top of the walls.

And finally, my Pokemon... Last month we picked up our newest Pokemon games, Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2. I'm having a blast! My son was the first one to run into a shiny, but he didn't have a catcher on him at the time and misjudged an attack and accidentally made it faint. It was a shiny Mantyke, a water/flying Pokemon that looks like a medium blue manta ray with a delicate light blue belly. Sometimes we play hundreds of hours before running into a shiny, so his losing it instead of catching it has him all upset. He will be talking about the one that got away for YEARS, lol.

It's 9:25 a.m., time for me to go to bed. I hope everyone has a good month and a great turkey day. Later after I sleep and wake up I'll be cutting fresh cranberries in half, shaking them in a colander to get rid of seeds, then putting them into my food dehydrators. I missed doing this last year...I know I'm probably weird but I like adding a small spoonful of dried berries into my hot tea from time to time and this is the only time of the year I can get them.

Been dealing with an elderly parent. Big pain in the back-side and grumpy/nasty to boot. Constantly needs supervision as the mind isn't as swift as it was. Being the only unmarried child--I have been dumped with the responsibility and this of course has put an unmentionable amount of inconvenience to my personal life.

I rarely come onto Collarme.com much, other than keeping in touch with those I've met personally and know in the DC area, as well as those who I've got a respectful online exchange with.

Survived Hurricane Sandy, leaks around the chimney into the attic took place though. Haven't had the chimney inspected since the earthquake in August 2011. That needs to be done. It is amazing how much paperwork is involved dealing with a elderly parent and seem to sit in doctor's waiting rooms two-thirds of the month.

I've been involved in Civil War re-enactments in a small way. Mostly observing. It is the 150th anniversary of many of the important battles in the Commonwealth of Virginia, State of Maryland and West Virginia.

I had to trade in my old 'domme mobile' and upgraded to a Cadillac DHS (DeVille). I'm enjoying all the gadgets.

Haven't used my 'tools of the trade' for a couple of years now. Combination of mourning the loss of a slave and dealing with a parent in addition to missing the other parent a lot, who managed to keep that surviving parent under control and discipline.

Arthritis is kicking up with the weather change.

Hope everybody finds their bliss and their partner(s) for life.

Respectfully,
Lady Hugs

I'm here! Though I've been absent a bit. Had breast cancer reconstruction in June, 8 years post original aggressive lumpectomy, recovery was bit tougher than expected but the bisecting of my pectorals had a lot to do with that. Incredibly happy with the results, and glad to close the door on the cancer experience. Took a month off to recover and have been traveling constantly since, catching up with old friends has made it worth the crazy schedule though. Ended a relationship due to disloyalty I couldn't overlook, which I mourned for a while during all this. Ultimately much happier now... found a pretty lil maso who has officially won the lottery & is now being kept by me, despite the distance... and whom I am enjoying a great deal. All together a pretty good way to start the month.

I have a new girlfriend. She's never tried kink, but I have a feeling that will change. (Oh, c'mon...you don't really think I'd pass up the opportunity to corrupt a vanilla girl, do you?) She's cute, smart, funny, and just pretty darn awesome all the way around. I feel like a twitterpated 14-year-old around her. I kinda like it. She also happens to be trans* so this is a new experience for me. I've only dated cis people up to this point. I'm learning a lot and loving every minute.

In other news, the subby boi I've been chatting up lately is coming to visit next weekend. I can't wait to meet him in person, finally. Skype is great, but not a substitute for in-the-flesh interaction. If all goes well, I may have a new sub by the end of the month. Cross your fingers for me.

Sure hope you people on the coast are surviving Sandy. Best wishes!

This month brings mostly work for me. My exsub has a date this week, so he's all up tight and in dire need of spank-down (pity his date is vanilla) due to nerves. My search for land goes on while my kinky Oregon contact list grows. So many pervs in the Northwest! Pity so many aren't my type. Eh. Fitness trainer program is kickin' ass and I'm up to 30 min runs for this old body. Feels good to be active again.

I'm here.

Mother has moved from chemo to radiation. Things are progressing rather favorably with my newest (subby) partner, my girlfriend is still too far away (she's in China until May), and my vanilla partner and I are as good as ever.

Most of my focus right now is on NaNoWriMo. Well, that and school/work/martial arts, but I don't think those have anything big coming up until December...

Have a nice month, everyone. :)

Well, this month is not off to a good start. In September I started work at a brand new restaurant opening up and now a month and a half in all the cracks are starting to show. It's pushing me towards doing what I've been saying I'll do for a couple years and go up north this spring, but I still have to worry about job stability and paying my bills in the mean time. I may have to get a second job which would completely kill the tiny social life I've been able to have this past while. The stress is really affecting my lover and I's playtime (he also works at the restaurant with me), plus he's currently separating from his ex-gf/mother of his kid and is staying in this really crappy "hotel" that I absolutely can't stand to be in. I'm talking to a few subs, but no one that's local. All in all I'm just trying to stay positive and remember that things will change soon enough.

Anyhoo, we are doing well. We are moving to Little Rock, getting everything ready for that. Work is going well. No complaints here.

MDA,

hope all got through the quake well and im with you the power plant being that close is scary. glad your house hold is doing well as well as the huge health improvement. im sure everyone here was worried about what went haywire and made you so sickies but glad to hear your better. I also love the idea of the music common denomitatior its nice to see people that can gather and play music, especcially when i have an instrument and no music and will take forever to shake the rust so i can play again.

hope all stays well for your house and you.

Blessed be,

Pheonix Rose

We are literally in the throws of deciding whether or not to split up the household. (What a great opening line, eh?) All I can say on that front is that I am hard as hell to live with and it's not even clip who is the one who wants to go. A lot of it is just the stupid day to day stuff. We're really at the point that we need to either shit or get off of the pot.

I will say this. I think clip is probably one of the most loyal human beings that I have ever met. A lot of the time, I don't deserve him. Even now, he's sleeping at My feet and would do any damn thing I asked of him.

In the midst of this, we're going to the community dungeon tonight. There is so much divisiveness here. I figure if we can get our act together and come out for the community, so can everybody else. As I'm always saying, that's what leather people do.

On that note, I was officially invited back to teach at Northern Exposure 4. I didn't win the vote for the keynote speaker, but enough folks enjoyed Me enough last year to say they would come back if I did. Ain't that a bitch?

Oh wow, LP. I hope everything works out for you. Your family is such an inspiration to me and I know it is to others as well. I hope this is just a rough patch and you all come through it stronger than ever.

The visit from the sub that was supposed to happen this weekend has been postponed due to car issues on his part. It's disappointing but not the end of the world. Despite having to wait to meet in person, he and I have decided we definitely want to try out a LDR until he's finished with university and can move here. So...I have a new kittyboi. My poly dance card is officially full.

My prayers & best wishes go out to those going through all the natural disasters out there. It makes me feel almost guilty to live in the relatively quiet Pacific Northwest.

My prayers & best wishes go out to those dealing with cancer.

SylvereApLeanan, my congrats!!!!

LadyP, I am so sorry your family is crumbling. I hope everything works out for you.

My car died permanently in late October, but the good news is I got another one. A 2000 Chevy Cavalier in practically mint condition!! Every time I get behind the wheel, I say "I frickin LOVE this car!!!!" The previous owners kept detailed maintenance records so that's a plus too.

My sub in Anchorage said it's snowing to beat hell up there in Anchorage and I probably won't see him til spring because snow storms & wind will cut down on the ability to fly in/out. But then I have friends down here that have lived up there and said the planes fly regardless of the weather, so I don't know. Maybe LadyP can tell me what the real scoop is with that.

Been helping getting Lizard into college for the spring semester. She wants to major in Drama.

Been seeing my caseworker and p-doc lately. Been depressed half the time due to favorite peeps dieing.

Also been working on afghans and a scarf/hat set for myself. My body says we got a cold winter coming in.

Been babysitting baby M lately. Her mom (my SIL) got a job as a hotel maid so it is like trying to care for Lizard all over again.

Nothing relationship wise. Not really looking anyway and any Doms I contact want me to move in ASAP. What happen to patience and getting used to one another?

*Waves* .. I'm a newbie again after forgetting my password from 4 years ago. Three more weeks before winter break, and I really can't wait.  Big changes on my farm this month. All three of my  helpers have gone as of Wednesday. My two switch girls went back to Hawaii to further their music careers, and my vanilla helper just ran off to BF-Egypt to move in with his girlfriend. So my vanilla partner and I are busting our asses to keep up with farm work, secular work, academia, and parenting.

My dreams finally caught up to me, and I had to rejoin my bdsm community online. I haven't played for 4 years, except for the occasional pull, pinch, throw down with my vanilla guy. But he's  300 pounds, 6'4 and carries his biker attitude with him, so I really have to be in  rare form to start f*cking around with him .  For a vanilla guy, he's pretty damn service-oriented though. Nothing like coffee beside my bed before I get up -- haha. But he really doesn't enjoy the whole "beard-pulling means I love you" thing.

So, I've been talking to a few subs who I plan to meet with in the first part of December ... we shall see. My partner would like me to start training female subs, so, again ... we shall see. I do like to tease them to no end, but have never dipped my toes in that water.

I think he just has cock-block on his mind. Not sure if I am down with being limited ... shakes head. Serves me right ... I started this vanilla relationship. Oh well ...

My thoughts and warmest wishes of repair and renewal to those hit by Sandy with a Nor'easter back up. Play hard - stay safe!
