Catch Up

Okay, this post is me trying to play catch up, so it's going to cover a variety of topics. If you think that's weird, or whatever, then you should probably not read this post, just to be on the safe side.

So it was New Years Eve, and Master and I were spending it alone for the first time in our relationship. Yes, in the damn near 8 years we have been together, we haven't spent a New Years Eve alone until this one. Either we couldn't spend it together, like before I moved up here, or we went out to a bar one year and had friends with us, and the rest of them we had friends over at our place. This year, we wanted it to be just the two of us.

But to start this off at the beginning of the day, lets rewind shall we?

Okay, so Master had gotten up to take the dog out. When He came back in He turned on the computer, dicked around online for a while and smoked a cig before coming back to bed. Then I got up around 10am and came out the living room, letting Master continue to sleep. I got onto the computer and noticed it was acting funny. So I rebooted it. Nope, still acting funny. The comp was almost 8 years old, and had been through quite a bit. So I started to worry. We can't afford to just go out and buy a new computer. Especially not when we have to pay rent this week. So I got out my trusty flash drive and backed up the files we feel are important. I just was playing it safe.

I rebooted the computer again, and suddenly it went from acting funny to just straight out not wanting to work properly at all. I tried some things, but nothing was working. So when Master got up I talked to Him about it, and I said we can try to do a restore and see if it survives it. He said okay, cause it's not like we could afford to pay something to try and fix it either. I'm techy but more software rather than hardware. And even then I'm limited in my knowledge.

So I go for it. It gets to 94% and hangs there for I kid you not 2 1/2 hours. We try it again thinking the comp froze or something. And this time it gets to 99% and hangs there for four fucking hours. By that time we knew it had died on us. There was no fixing it without trying to pay someone to fix it, and why do that on a computer that's so damn old? Most techs would probably laugh at us. Anyway, we started thinking about our options. We didn't have many. So we called a few people and looked around at stores. There was no way we could afford to buy one brand new, and we didn't really want another credit card. The credit card we do have didn't have enough left on it to put the computer on there. Our one friend, BC, said he could talk to some of his friends and find us a "loaner computer" that basically is ancient and is normally just sitting around collecting dust. We saved that as a last ditch effort.

Then I called my mother and asked her if we could borrow her 2nd computer (she has two desktops). One is a good 4 years old, and the other one she's had for about 10 months. I said I didn't care which one, but could we please borrow it while we saved up for a new one. With Master looking for a job, and actually doing freelance work where he needs access to the internet and what not, and us not really having anything else to entertain ourselves with besides the Xbox 360, yeah.. we were desperate. She hemmed and hawed, and asked if she could call us back after talking it over with her husband. I said yes. When I got off the phone with her, I just assumed the answer was going to be no.

But she called back a few hours later, and said that no we couldn't borrow it. My heart sank a little, until she said we could buy it off of her instead. Yay!

So I talked to her about it and asked her which one of her two, and how much. So she agreed to sell us her 10 month old computer, including the 18.5 monitor for $350.00. That is one hell of a deal given the fact that the monitor alone is almost $200.00 and the tower is a good $450.00. Now granted it's 10 months old, but who the fuck cares! So she said we could pick it up the next day, and pay her in 3 installments. Fine my me! Of course, I talked it over with Master before agreeing and He said that was fine.

I mean yes, finances are going to be tight until it's paid off, but it's better than not having a computer for 3-4 months while we save up for one, and it wouldn't be anywhere near as nice as the one we now have.

So once that was taken care of Master and I both relaxed. We spent the night watching movies, drinking Bailey's (which is delicious by the way), and having a great time. We had also starting watching porn around 11pm. We weren't really watching the time, but sometime before midnight Master dragged me into the bedroom and we were fucking at the stroke of midnight. (No pun intended.) That sure in the hell beats just a kiss. ;-)

We stayed up until about 2:30am and then I had to get some sleep. Master came to the bedroom a little while later, fucked me awake, came, and then passed out next to me while I curled up and fell asleep once more.

The next morning we got up when the alarm went off, got ready, and ran our errands. Once the errands were done we went down to my mother's and picked up the computer and monitor.

When we got home I took the old computer and monitor off the computer desk, placed the monitor down gently as we are keeping that as a back up, or possibly selling it, who knows. The tower? I didn't give a fuck. I knew Master was going to basically slam it into the dumpster. So whatever there.

After that I cleaned off the computer desk and assembled the new one. That didn't take much time at all. It just plugging wires in, but then I had to go through and clean out the crap my mother and brother had put on it, that we weren't going to use, put our stuff on it from the flash drive, set-up our bookmarks again, get the personalization down. Change the login name, change the password. It was a bit of a process.

But there is one thing in all of this that makes me realize that Master truly knows how much of a geek I really am, and the fact that He enjoys indulging me from time to time. We were going to have PB over later that evening (the potential male play mate). So there was some last minute cleaning that needed to be done. So instead of telling me to stop dicking around on the computer and having me clean... He allowed me to keep tweaking the new comp, letting me do my thing, and He cleaned the dishes, the kitchen counter top and the bathroom. My Master rocks.

We both played around on the computer once it was all ready to go and everything was set the way we wanted it to be. Not only do we have to get use to the new computer, but we have to get use to how wide the monitor is. It's wider than it is long. Rather than the solid square our last one is. But I'm actually really grooving on the new monitor. It takes a while to get use to, but I enjoy it. Master will take longer. But I think eventually He'll just be so use to it that it won't matter. But we also have to get use to a completely different operating system. So it's a lot of guess work right now. But I'm enjoying the slight challenge.

Okay, so enough geek speak.

PB showed up around 7pm. He is a very shy.. timid man. And honestly it's frustrating. Master and I are extremely blunt people and have no problem talking about sex, or sexual things. It's very easy for us, always has been. So when someone is kind of repressed, we are not sure how to handle it. And we also end up wondering why they are looking for a play mate to begin with if they are repressed. But whatever. Without going into all the details, the three of us ended up in the bedroom, got naked, messed around a very, very little bit and then ended up talking the rest of the time, because PB just wanted to talk. Which is great, but then why did you want to go into our bedroom and get naked? Does. Not. Compute.

Plus he got here at 7pm, and didn't leave till 4am, and we barely did anything besides talk. So it was frustrating because basically nothing happened even though the talks we had previously made it sound like quite a bit more was going to happen, but also because he just didn't want to leave. He said he had a good time, but Master and I basically felt he had wasted our time, especially since he stayed so late even though he had decided a good 4 hours earlier that he didn't want to go any further but also just wanted to talk. And he didn't want to talk about anything sexual. However, the really confusing part was when he was getting ready to leave he said he wanted to get together again soon and hopefully play some more. Yeah. Confusing! I don't know if Master wants to let this guy come over again or not. He said that He will probably allow it one or two more times just to see if he comes out of his shell or not, but after that He will re-access the situation and we'll go from there.

Once PB left, Master and I got a drank a little bit more, joked around, relaxed, and then went into the bedroom for an incredible fuck session.

We then curled up and went to sleep. This morning Master woke me up with His cock once more, and then told me to go into the living room and wake up a bit. While He took His shower He had me go run some errands, and once that was done Master and I just have been relaxing and having a great day with one another.

I'm sad to see the weekend end. Especially since it's the last mini-break I'm going to get until the end of March when my personal/vacation time renews at work. So it's going to be a long couple of months. But it should go by somewhat quickly.

Now I'm going to go enjoy my last day of the weekend with my Husband.

So it's been an interesting start to the new year, we have a new(ish) computer, and Master and I are doing great! I love that Man of mine so fucking much.

Still Alive

Yes, I'm still here.

Since late Thursday night we have been dealing with computer problems that I could not fix myself. This is rare, but it does happen. I'm not a computer genius or anything but normally the problems are small enough that I can fix it.

Well in this case I could not. So I have spent a shit load of time on the phone with tech support. Today, finally, it was fixed. So after I was off the phone with tech support we had to do some more tweaking to get the comp back where it was, but now it's all done.

I hate having computer problems. It is one of the few forms of entertainment we have. We have this, the Xbox 360, a DVD player, and Netflix. Oh. And books. So when the computer goes down, it's just crazy around here cause we're bored. You never realize how addicted you are to something until you can't do it.

So anyway, I had another therapy appointment last night. It went really well. In two weeks I'm seeing the doc who can prescribe medication. I was supposed to see JD after that but she said due to our financial constraints, and knowing that I am at least seeing the doc she felt okay with letting me cancel her appointment. She did say that she is recommending to the doctor that he put me on medication right away.

A lot of what we talked about is how the only reason I'm seeking help is because of how much it is affecting my marriage. I told her flat out that if I were single, I probably wouldn't have sought help. She said she understood, and is glad that I have Master as a support system.

I had to run a couple of errands after the appointment so I didn't get home until almost 8pm, which kind of sucked. But at least everything got done.

I put on a pair of my thigh high boots last night, which Master seemed to really enjoy.

I think if I ever buy a pair of thigh highs again though, they are going to be fabric. That shiny stuff is just not that comfortable. I for whatever reason can not think of the material right now. Apparently talking to tech support so damn much has drained my mental capabilities.

So for now I think I'll end this post. I might post again later on tonight if something pops up into my brain.

I Found The Place!

Today was fun. We went down to my mother's to give her a mother's day present early. Why? Because tomorrow Master has to work (boo!) and we wanted to be able to just relax and enjoy our time together after He's done.

So after we visited with my mom, we came home and chilled. I restored the computer to it's original settings. By the way, I found out this computer is from 2004! Holy hell. That's like.. ancient.. in computer years. After that was done, which took forever I might add, I put our backed up files back in, reinstalled our preferred security center, and then downloaded Firefox (because I fucking hate IE) and then added in most of our bookmarks.

Joy. I'm hoping this buys us more time so we can save up a little and get a nice computer, instead of having to get a cheap one because we need one right now, ya know? Now, I'm not talking about saving up for like an Alien Ware or anything, even though I think I would cream myself if I had one.. *drools* Just a mid range computer.

So then I called to a few different tattoo/piercing parlors. Why? Well the one I thought I was going to was rather cheap, and when it comes to piercings.. cheap doesn't equal good. Also, I talked to the piercer on the phone and she couldn't recommend anything regarding jewelry for people with a nickel allergy. Red flag! Danger Will Robinson!

So yeah. No.

I finally found the place I'm going to. It's about a half hour drive, and they are a little pricey, but the woman knew her shit. I talked to her for about 15 minutes and she knew all about nickel allergies and I explained why I wanted titanium and she said that maybe before I was using cheap jewelry, and that is why I had so many problems. So she told me what she would recommend besides titanium, and said that unless I have a very extreme reaction to nickel, which I don't, that would work perfectly. So ta-da! I'm hoping to go next Saturday. I asked her if she would be willing to do all three piercings at one time (both nipples and the VCH) and she said yes, that wouldn't be a problem at all. I asked if I should be concerned with any thing along the lines of healing if I get all three done, and she said no unless I have a weakened immune system, which I do not. In fact I have a kick ass immune system. So rock on. Master seems pleased.

In other news, I was kneeling at Master's feet and we were nuzzling one another when I said, "I love You." And He said, "I love you too." So I was being a bit of a smart ass and said, "Promise?" and He looked at me like I had lost my damn mind and said, "Duh."

I laughed and nuzzled His legs. He said, "What do you want me to say?" So I said, "Something romantic!"

He again looks at me like I'm crazy and for whatever fucked up reason says, "Caw! Caw! Bang! Fuck, I'm dead." (Bonus points if you know what movie that is from. Remember, we quote movies all.. the.. time. It's sick really.)

And I almost fell over laughing, pointed at Him and said, "That's not romantic at all."

His reply? "So? It was funny as hell."

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why He's my Husband. We both have fucked up senses of humor.

Technology Is A Pain In The Ass

It seems that we are going to have to buy a new computer soon. This one keeps locking up on us to the point where we have to shut it down manually and then wait a little while, restart it and then hope it doesn't lock again.

So today after we got home from Master picking me up from work, and going out to dinner, I backed up all of our important files. You know, like ones dealing with finances, wedding pictures, resumes, and of course.. the nude pictures of me.

We can't afford a new tower right now. So, we have to at least wait until next weekend when our paychecks hit.

Fair warning, if this computer takes a dump between now and then.. we won't have any way to do blog posts or anything of that nature. So if the blogs get quiet for a little while, that's why.

I plan on wiping the computer tomorrow and then reformatting it, just to try and buy us some time. Whether that works or not.. I have no idea. Hell, it may make the computer die for all I know. But it's an old computer. Almost as old as our relationship. (It's probably about 5 years old.) It's amazing how quickly these things become obsolete. And yet, it's a love/hate relationship. Technology pisses me off, but I'm addicted to it at the same time.

As far as the piercings go.. I've decided to go with the titanium jewelry. I called the place I think I'll be going to, and they have it. It costs a little bit more, but whatever.

Master said if the piercer won't do all three at once, I'm getting my nipples done first. Or maybe we'll just get the nipples done and let those heal.. and maybe go back and get the VCH at a later time. Who knows. We probably won't know for sure until we actually go there.

I'm hoping we can get it done next week, but with the expensive of the computer involved, it may be a bit longer. But Master should have some overtime on this upcoming check... bah.. I don't know. We'll figure it out next week. :-)

Simple Solution

Work went pretty well today. The day actually went by rather quickly, even though the work load was a bit slow. Not that I was complaining mind you.

I am doing more on my own now. The trainer is basically only coming over to my desk four times a day to double check my work. Other than that I'm on my own. She gave me her extension in case I have a question about something. So it seems that I'm doing well and I already feel pretty comfortable there. I know that more responsibilities will be added as time goes on, but I don't think I'll have any problems with any of it.

After work Master took us home. He hopped in the shower and sent me off on errands. I dropped off the rent check. Seriously, it feels like we just paid the damn rent. :-|

From there I went to the store and picked up some hand lotion and a small kleenex box for my desk at work. I also picked up some things we needed around the apartment.

When I got home, however, the internet was not working. It kept saying, "Address not found."

Well, that's not good.

So we unplug the modem, wait 30 seconds, and then let it recycle. When that didn't work I called the support line. Two hours on the phone, and what fixes the problem? I'll give it to you in steps, because seriously... it was so fucking simple.

1. Shut down the computer.

2. Unplug the router.

3. Unplug the modem.

4. Wait 30 seconds.

5. Plug the modem in.

6. Plug the router in once the modem recycles.

7. Turn the computer back on.

8. Obtain internet access immediatley.

Why the tech guy didn't have me try that two hours before? I have no idea. Then again I was transferred four times. So maybe that had something to do with it. One of the reps kept pushing for me to have someone come out and look at it. Um, yeah. I am addicted to the internet. I want it fixed now. So transfer. Talk to one tier of support, can't figure it out, get another tier of support.. well you get the picture. Eventually I get someone who tells me to do the above steps and what do you know?! It works!

The Internet Gods are pleased with the modem and router once more. Picky bastards that they are. Apparently they wanted us to unplug everything and redo it. Sometimes the Internet Gods like you to do things a trained monkey can do, just to amuse them. I say if they should hand out old fashioned jester hats when they want this to happen.
