The side of my life that grows and changes with my interests and discoveries pertaining to the D/d and D/s world, with respect to my spiritual convictions/sensibilites. (This page is best viewed in Mozilla Firefox)
The past couple weeks have been a "low" for Rico and I. I've been sort of stressed with home stuff, and busy with work this week, and the week before, Rico messed up his ankle really bad - tore up some tendons and ligaments. At first, as you can imagine, the pain and medication made his aggravation level go out of this world. It wasn't fun. D/s sort of got dropped for a while... mostly unconsciously. I was letting some things really get to me and our relationship became "detached."
So we attempted to reconnect. At the time, I believe it worked out great; however, I'm starting to feel things slip again...mainly because he and I have been extremely busy the last two days and will be the rest of this weekend as well.
Anyway, a few smacks with a switch, and a couple heavier-than-usual commands that are normally punishments, but for this occasion they were used for reconnection and [his] pleasure purposes, served the purpose. Then, three days ago, he made me put on "nipple clips" for the first time. I did it to myself in private; the first time for as long as I thought I could take it (which wound up being about four minutes), the second time ten minutes, and the third time for five. Yeah... those big, heavy-duty clothes pins most definitely got my attention.
I'm also starting to realize that the ability to imagine and then make/create lots of different things will be my demise. I already have plans for several different implements and a couple other D/s type items. The other night, in a moment of lost sanity, I recommended I wear some sort of clip or uncomfortable accessory somewheres all day to remind me of the mindset I'm supposed to be in. Well, ahem, it doesn't take a genius to figure out the most uncomfortable and sensitive place to put that sort of thing, so of course Rico chose that area fairly quickly. Then me, still at a loss for brains, came up with an idea for how to make such a clip/accessory out of some jewelry wire I have in my desk. I'm telling you, some BDSM toy supplier should hire me to come up with this crap. I don't think I've ever run across something buyable that would've created the effects this little homemade wire thingy did. *weg* Maybe I'll post a picture of it one day (no not actually in use...).
On a different note, have I mentioned lately that I can't wait to be married? I watched Pride and Prejudice last night and realized just how incredibly much the basics of society have changed over the last century. Hmph.
