Time

So it seems time has passed and I have not written in so very long! I have meant to keep up but it seems life just keeps happening. I recently have had to suspend playing for a while- I am now back to some little scenes. But no impact for yet a lot longer. I finally had to have surgery on my back. A spinal fusion. It is the worst thing I have ever done! Necessary and worth it, but still very painful! And not the good kind! So, soon I will be back to posting. But until then….. Here is a few pictures of cats!

See ya soon!

Trees and leaves….

Green, fresh and new. Strong, yet supple. Vibrantly shining through the suns gleaming daybreak.
Lush, full of bridled energy. Nutrients flowing through their veins.

Time passes.
The edges slowly turn yellow, then brown. Fading, losing the warmth. Losing their lustriousness. Fading.
Brown now. Crisp.
Crunching beneath old brown leather shoes.
They are good for crunching.
Making noise. Reminders of their once youthful glory.
Slowly falling from the trees. Outliving their usefullness. Becoming a burden. A hindrance to the clean, clutter free expanse of ground.
Crunth them some more. They are dead. Some stuffed in bags, thrown to the curb.
The crunch dies. No longer usefull to the ones walking among them to remind them of the cycle of themselves. Thrown away or faded away into small slips of nothingness.
This too is the cycle.
The cycle is in motion.

Absent for a while

I have been very absent from most online places and this blog. And especially in any community activities. Easily attributed to the absence of any activities lately outside of work, home and back again. I have planned on attending several events the past few months, only to have some sort of medical something or other come up- the plans are changed at the last minute. It is hard to attend and enjoy any outside activities when you or your partner are sick and or broken. The last party, New Years Eve, no surgery, no emergencys. Just the common cold/flu crud. Yep, just when it seems safe to venture out again! Well, such as life! I am still glad for the flu/cold crud stuff over a lot of things that could happen, but I think it is time to come out and play! So, soon- I will be playing again soon! And I am very much looking forward to it! This week end, I will be spending quietly- catching up with Juju and relaxing. The crud is starting to wane- time to get in motion again!

Names…..

Jak goes outside a lot. He likes to roam around and do his cat things. He will go out at night, coming home in the wee hours of the morning. He will come home exhausted. Eat, drink and then sleep for hours. Titus is lonely. Titus likes us, he is still very skittish, so he runs and hides at every noise and new thing. He prefers cats over people. Jak and him play. They have fun, they rough house. They spar. Titus is lonely when Jak is out catting. He is bored when Jak is sleeping it off. Solution, new cat for Titus to play with. We discussed what type of cat, what breed and such we wanted and started looking. We had decided on a Siamese, Bermise or another Russian Blue. Short hair, mild tempered and small. We found one. A Siamese mix, small for his age, mellow, seemed to like us and was nice to hold. We did not get him. As we were playing with him, another cat hit me through the cage, slapped my arm away from the other cats and meowed loudly, drawing attention to her. A wild tiger looking long haired feisty wild thing. She looked like a tiger. Larger than the other kittens. Pushing all of the other kittens aside. Yes, she is now living here. She came into the house, we set her down and she promptly looked around, jumped up onto the couch, jumped off, searched and explored, bounding down the stairs like she had done that hundreds of times, took over and made herself at home. I think her name is picked, Oni. A Japanese name. With a folklore using all of her qualities.

I think the name fits....

“Oni are devil-like demons with long nails, wild hair, a fierce look and two horns on their forehead like the devil images known in Western Christian cultures. They wear tiger skins and can fly. Oni hunt for the souls of those who did evil things in their lives. In a nutshell, a guy one would not like to encounter in the darkness!”

Yes, I think they are closely resembled……

Predicaments

We went for a walk and took pictures. I am trying out learning the settings and the ways the different settings can change a lot. I really miss the walks. We had started walking a few months before Tutivillus’s first surgery. After he had recovered, it was just too hot! The evenings never cooled down enough to get outside to walk until way too late in the evening. I am not looking forward to the coming winter season, but the fall. It is already looking good to me! I am very amateur at the pictures. They are fun to do though. Today, the canyon. We tried the graveyard last evening. The gates close at dusk. Trespassing after they close. We got there, the gates closed. I guess another time. Last night we did some predicament pictures. I wanted to do these. I like the predicament pictures on the Tumblr website. I was tied with rope, had my arm with a parachute cord wrapped around my wrist, looped through a collar around my neck that had a loose tie and was looped over a pulley that had a machete hanging from it. Moving my hand would cause the tie to come undone and the machete to drop onto me. I have an aversion to being fileted. I am unsure as to why I would have this aversion, but it is present. I also have an uncanny sense of itch. If I am put in a restraint, I itch. Somewhere, always and badly. I absent mindedly scratch. Of course Tutivillus knows this. I could move my wrist and hand about half an inch before pulling the tie loose. Not a good predicament for me. I was tied by my ankles and legs spread with rope. I like chains, they are metal and cool and feel good on my skin. Rope is a big fetish for a lot of people in the kink community. I like the pictures, the scenes and the look of those that do rope bondage. I don’t get all floaty and in subspace with rope. I am easily irritated with how long it takes to get it all tied. This predicament was interesting to me. No floaty bondage feel, no exchange of good sensation for a painful one. Just an uncomfortable situation. A fearful predicament. My imagination and what if this fails or that is bumped and “would you quit bumping the table” followed by his evil laugh and bumping it harder. My feet started going to sleep, they were painful. When the pictures were done, being untied and my feet released were terribly painful. I felt like I had been sitting on my feet and not noticed they had gone to sleep and then jumped up at a full force run. I cannot imagine what the pain from one who is bound so that the feet are purple before they are released. I am assuming it is the exchange of sensations, the floaty feelings take over and the endorphins flood you. I did not have those with this scene. Just anxiety and fear. The next predicament, I was immediately handcuffed. My wrists instantly felt the cool metal, it slid down into a comfortable groove on my arm. The place that is made for metal handcuffs. My arms have missed them. It has been a few months since I have worn them. The chains around my ankles, pulling them down off the table, chained to the leg of the tripod. I am laying open legged, naked, with my hands above my head handcuffed behind the tripod leg. I am immediately calm, I am in a safe place in my mind. Subspace. The clover clamps are put on. They are more painful than the ropes had been on my feet earlier. The hitachi is now replacing the machete, it is lowered to touch me, maneuvered to stay in place, clamps applied to help it stay in place. These too are painful. The buzzing is not heard, only felt, as the good sensations are mixed in my brain with the painful clamps. The chain of the clover clamps is put in my mouth. Not only can I feel the smooth surface of the chains on my feet, the handcuffs on my wrist, the clover clamps on my nipples, but now I can taste the metal. Steel has a distinctive taste. Cool, metallic. Very similar to blood. I think it is the iron in the blood that gives it the similar tastes, but it is an erotic taste. I like the taste of blood, but I do prefer the metal taste over the blood. Although similar, they are also very different. All of the sensations are swirling in my head, surrounding my body and making every pore feel. I feel the good sensations, I feel the painful sensations. My body interprets them as just that. Strong sensations. Different sensations. The first set of pictures seemed like a long time. I am not sure which set took longer, but the second set was definitely a totally different feel and reaction. Both were erotic in their different way, but the second definitely was more painful, yet highly sensuous. I understand the rope feeling. I don’t react that way to rope, but I am sure if a rope fetishist were to be chained, they would have the same reaction I do to rope. Not a bad reaction, just a meh, now for the fun stuff?

Balance

Saturday morning. Well afternoon now. A three day week-end. Monday is a Utah holiday. Cheesy, but gets me an extra day off! Pioneer day. Aren’t we all in some way pioneers? We forge ahead, finding our own way, what makes us happy. What makes us who we are. Some people suppress that and just exist. I cannot fathom just living to exist. No true happiness, no true knowledge of self. I recently have been feeling very off. Just restless and edgy. Not an uncommon thing I suppose, I have had periods like that off and on throughout life. Those are the times I change drastic things in my life. Sign up for college, buy a house, or move across country. I had no desire to change anything drastic this time so it just became worse. This restless not knowing what was off. Last Friday I decided to cash in on a gift card I had bought for next to nothing in a charity auction. It was at a salon I used to frequent. Not sure exactly what I was getting into as to what I had bought, but I made an appointment for the next day. Saturday. I arrive and am taken back to the spa area. The appointment was for a facial. I have had some of these before. Thought it would be nice, but never expected anything like the facial I received! I was given a robe and was told to change into the robe, I could leave my underwear on, and if I wanted my bra on, to tuck it under my arms. The esthetician was talking very modest like. Using very generic terms like privates and underclothes. Even referenced the possibility of my needing to remove the garments worn by the “special” – gag- people in the area. I just ignored that one as she was trying to be very politically correct. I went a changed and returned to the foyer of the spa. I was put into a chair with a foot bath in the front of it. She soaked my feet, washed them with sea salts, rubbed and lotioned them. Then she took me to another room. It had a massage table. She had me lay down on the table with a blanket covering me. She moved the blanket down to just above my breasts. She paused, I opened my eyes and looked up. She was looking at my hook piercing hole scars. She didn’t say anything, I didn’t offer explanation, but she did change her politically correct speaking to one of dirctness. In the previous room she had started tentatively saying chakra cleansing and watching my reactions while saying very elemental things as to what the chakras were. Her words now were not tentative and not explaining the chakras and how they work, just that she was going to do the cleansing and aligning. The room was quiet, dim lights and calm. She then started a scent journey. Trying a few chakra cleansing scents and having me pick the most cleansing and soothing. Although they all were nice, I picked the eucalyptus oil. It felt the most cleansing to me. She started by massaging my head, going to my shoulders and massaging down to my feet along the meridians of my body. the meridian massage was a light airy massage, only a few minutes on each side for the body and feet, then back up to the shoulders. She did some Reiki and more massage. I knew I was laying flat on the table but when she started I felt like my body was curled into a C to the right. I could feel the pull to center the more she massaged and moved. By the time she started cleansing my face I felt very centered and straight. I left for home after the session and a haircut feeling much better than I have in a very long time. I will definitely be doing this again!

Harvest

It’s Springtime. Here that means warm, nice sunny, 70′s temperature. Sometimes. Cold, 40′s rainy, occasional attempts at snowing. Sometimes in the same day. This morning it is warm, the wind is blowing a little. Sunny. I am having coffee on the patio. Tutivillus is having coffee with me. We are on the laptops, reading the internets. It is very nice and relaxing. Soon, I will start weeding. And planting. I don’t care for weeding. Weeds are not fun, especially when they come right back! I do love planting though. I have vegetables to plant. The fruit is starting to blossom already, they have been planted in previous years. Raspberries are taking over where strawberries once were planted. A few lone strawberries amongst the raspberries. Goosberries and blueberries are still too young for much fruit. They were the recent additions. I have many vegetables to plant. The vegetable garden is small. Holds tomatoes and five varieties of peppers. The rest, amongst the flowers. Squash, two varieties, cucumbers, zucchini and asparagus. Apples, peaches and grapes round out the harvest. I love fresh fruit and vegetables. Herbs are in pots, except the mint. This was put in a difficult to get anything to grow ares. It has taken off, and tries to spread out of its contained area!  Several times a year I have a BBQ, the only store boughten items on the menu is the meat and condiments. Mojitos are the drink of choice planned for this year.

Yes, my favorite time of year. The planting and harvesting of fruits and vegetables and watching them grow. I love flowers too. Peonies, clematis and bleeding hearts. Carnations are difficult to grow in this climate. They do well for a year or two, then die off. I pulled them out last fall. Need to get more. The clematis is my favorite. The dark purple color and the climbing vine is very pretty. I had several bushes of them at my previous house. This house I bought four and a half years ago. I haven’t been able to get any to grow here. I am planting three of them today. Hopefully they will take! As much as I love to watch everything grow, I tolerate weeding, but I hate mowing the lawn. I do it because I like the look of it, but I grumble. I have planned on getting a lawn boy every year and never do. This year, a casual conversation with a coworker, now I have a lawnboy. He called me Maam. He mows pretty patterns in the lawn. Worries it is done well enough to my satisfaction. Yes, never should have put off getting a lawnboy!

Life and times

I have been trying to write about life, am having a hard time going back and writing about past things. The new things are hard too. Not for the same reasons. The new is, well, great for me, boring to most. I am in a very good place. I am happy and in a relationship I love. Boring for others to read, goes to the sappy side! The old, well, it is a good thing to have the old and acknowledge where I got to here from, but damn, I didn’t realize how hard that it would be to look at and scrutinize! I have been answering questions for a survey. Tough, raw and exposed type of questions. Wow, to think of how my life, thoughts views and desires have evolved through the years!

Onward. On all fronts!

greediness

I am here drinking wine instead of coffee. It is Saturday night. Tutivillus and I have a standing Friday night “play” night. He hurt his back. We didn’t play Friday. Nor Saturday. Yes, sadists are human and have human parts. He is upset he has been hurt all week. I am glad he is home and not in Japan. He had a business trip he was scheduled to attend. It was postponed,  last Tuesday. Too close for comfort for me.

I know he has work. I have work. Time apart is expected. I did not want him to go as I just don’t trust the governments, even if it is not an American Government, to tell the truth about the amount of radiation. I want him here. Safe. I am greedy, I know. Greedy has been one thing he has known about me from the time we first met. I warned him. He should have listened. I am not sure how much he listened. I am very very greedy. But it is with him. And time with him.

Even if he is not at his best.

Strings

I had a cat for 18 years. My daughter was a preteen and “had” to have a pet. I had a few dogs when I was growing up, never a cat. I didn’t not like cats,, but never wanted one. We lived in a three story condo. Me, in my pessimistic thinking saw me as the one walking up and down the three stories taking this puppy out for bathroom breaks, walks, scenery and all of the other needs dogs have. The cat won by default. She picked out a scrawny, dirty, crusty eyed mewing loudly thing. That cat did  clean up nicely and  as I suspected, the cat was mine after the first two weeks. For not wanting or really liking cats much, she grew on me. A lot. The last few years she was alive she was old, sick, and didn’t get around very well. I didn’t have the heart to put her down. Wanted her to pass on naturally. Couldn’t wait until I could be animal free. She finally became sick enough that I had to put her down. Within two days, I wanted another cat.

I now have two cats. They came with the boxes. And Tutivillus. I like them. They had been here one week, when I told him, if you ever leave ,the cats stay.

Jak likes string. He jumps, licks, bites and tries to swing at it. I will sometime play with him with it. It is a fun game. I tire of this game, Jak doesn’t. Last night, I played with the string before going to bed.  I then put the string down. As I was drifting off to sleep, I heard crash, bang, slurp. And more slurps. Jak had the string. I got up, put the string away. The rest of the night, I was stalked. Jak stared, paced, knocked objects off the dresser, jumped up, then off the bed. Repeat.

Today. The string is his.
