One of those....catching up Posts....

        Get a cup of tea...I have a lot of 'ground' to cover......

Gout...thanks to a few of you who offered me some advice, and to Fondles for an great article....I was very careful over vacation...and for the last couple days I have been pain free. It seems that drinking cherry juice is the most recommended way to try and avoid another attack (believe me, one in a life time is plenty)...so I have added cherry juice to my breakfast routine, and took a jug of it on vacation with us. 

Vacation...it was super terrific!!  We (almost always say at the end of out week...best one yet...)...but this one was above that.  We all want to go back. The weather cooperated, rain on the day we 'moved' into the house...and then sun shine and warm weather (today it was in the mid 40's here...think we are skipping spring..yuck).   The house was amazing...had everything we might need and more...including a heated pool, a hot tub, a game room...We mostly just relaxed by the pool or at the beach...the one minus was the ocean was angry...the waves were huge so we had to watch the kids carefully, and the water was pretty cold, so not much ocean swimming. We went on a wild horse adventure...and saw almost 2 dozen horses along the beach...we ate seafood almost every day, my daughters and I took an afternoon off for some just us time...a couple wineries and gift shops were on the agenda.  We were at Duck in the Outer Banks...If you are a beach person or family...I would recommend it. It was a great time of year to go, since we had many places almost to ourselves.  We celebrated Mother's day early...the grands and my youngest daughter, planned a lovely breakfast and entertainment...and the grands presented the 2 moms and myself with a questionaire they had filled out...on how well they know us...they did pretty great with me!

          I find it very true, that even with the best vacations, it is always good to be back home....even when your first day back coincides with Maintenance Day.  Master was quick to remind me that we had one maintenance to make up, and the current on....and then added....this is the first spanking of the month.  He laughed at my look, as I said oh NO....harder play day....he is nodding and grinning.  How is it that I always seem to forget it is the first of the month....and He never does??  
        I am kneeling, naked, being re-claimed and reminded, that all of me is His...alway and all ways.  He touches every part of me, talking to me, reminding me how important my submission is to Him...and for me also.  Just as I start to squirm in response to His touches...He reminds me ...we are a long ways from any permission..
         I rise and get comfortable over His lap.  After a little rubbing and a lovely hand warm up spanking...it is time for the 'real' spanking' to begin.  I missed maintenance while on vacation, so we have one to make up, M says he will give me a break between the two spankings.   He then starts in with that gosh darn maintenance paddle, 4 sets of 25, ....after the first 100 it is 'break' time...which translates into me kneeling and and finding his cock and doing my best to distract Him from wanting to finish the spanking ( it has never worked ).
Then it is back over His lap, for round 2...same as the first, just on a more tenderized bottom.
           Maintenance is finally completed, and as M is rubbing my bottom, we chat a little to give me a break.  M tells me to get on the spanking horse, and get comfy.   Once I am set, he tells me he will give me a choice...now usually  that means, there really is no good choice, I just get to choose what I consider to be the lesser of two evils.  He surprised me a little this time....
           He shows me the 'My Paddleman' paddle..he loves it, me not so much..it is heavy and long.  I am told I can choose 20 with the paddle....I am surprised but the low number thinking...that sounds pretty good only 20.  I look up and he is holding the large leather strop....one of my favorites....and I head or 80 with this.  He has that grin on His face...the one that at times I would love to smack away...no I have never ever tried.  I am thinking, 20 vs 80...that is a big difference.  But, I do love that strop, and my bottom is very well warmed from the double maintenance....and that paddle packs a big wallop.  I decide on the strop, surprising Him a bit.....By the end of the stropping, I am sure I made the correct decision.
           I am headed to my oldest daughter's on Thursday...she has to go to Germany for work, and her hubby is going to join her, so I will be with the 2 grands.  I will be keeping up with all of you....

VACATION time!!!

        Anyone notice I have not posted about a spanking in a while?? No, I am not holding out on all of you.  The only kind of pain around here has been the 'not so good' kind.  A couple weeks ago I was sitting in my 'chair' relaxing one evening, when I felt a 'twinge' on my ankle.  Within 20 minutes, the pain was equal to when I was in labor with my children. I took a deep breath and tried to figure out what was happening.  I remembered my dad had gout, and that was quite painful, but it was on his big toe.  Well guess what...gout affect any joint...atltho big toe is most  common, with ankle next.
       The pain was truly awful, even lightly touching the ankle caused it to be worse.  The give away was that the ankle also swelled and was red....probably much more than you want to know about gout.  The sever pain lasted 'only' a couple hours...but my ankle was sore for almost a week. Another of the joys of getting older....
       The last couple of days have been much better...thankfully, since tomorrow is the travel day for our  family vacation this year.  Last fall we decided to explore the Outer Banks..in Duck..North Carolina.  We found a great house to rent, and then debated when to go.  Since it is a very crowded vacation area in the summer, we decided to beat the crowds and go in May...and as an added bonus got off season rates on the house!!!
       We are all meeting in Duck on Saturday...(can you imagine telling people you live in Duck??).... that will be an unpacking, getting groceries, and getting acquainted with the area day.  We are all looking forward to some lazy beach days, and have a couple back up plans if the weather does not totally cooperate.  Here it was only the 40's today and April was a miserable cold month, so I cannot wait!! And of course, grandma has packed a couple surprises for the grands!
       We return next Saturday...so have a great week all....and if you need a reason for some 'spanky fun'...tell your partner abby is not getting hers this week, so you volunteered to take one for the 'team'....!:);)..
