Long Friday

As you may have noticed I didn't do a blog post last night. Why? Because Master was kind enough to allow me to skip it. I was fucking beat.

My day started at 6:20am. I got up, got dressed, took the dog out, stopped at the gas station to put gas in the car, and then headed to work. So far, pretty normal shit. After work I stopped at the bank to pull some money out and then dropped off the passenger in my carpool. I had made an appointment to get the car an oil change. The appointment was at 1pm so it made no sense what so ever to go home for 25 minutes just to head back out again. So I just went straight to the mechanics.

That is when things started to slip sideways a little bit too much for my liking. I got there at about 12:40pm. They were able to get my car in right away for the oil change. I sat down for maybe 10 minutes before the guy walks out and tells me that my car is pretty much pissing out power steering fluid. Oh joy. So he takes me back there and shows me what is going on. Master had pointed out that the car was leaking a little something here and there but I figured okay, it's a small leak. It'll be okay for a little while. Nope. Not anymore.

The guy told me how much it would cost. I clenched my teeth when he told me but really, what other choice did I have? I trust these guys. They've never steered me wrong. Go ahead. Do the damn repair. He told me it would only take about 45 minutes. Okay cool. I can handle that and we'll still make it in time to take the dog to the vet.

But of course it wasn't as easy as they had hoped. Apparently, they needed to rethread the damn thing because it was jacked up. Fucking hell. The owner offered for me to take his personal car to go home, pick up Master and the dog, go to the vet appointment, drop Master and the dog back off and come back when he called telling me my car was ready. That was extremely generous of him but I don't feel comfortable driving other people's cars.

I called Master and told Him and He said we'd just reschedule the vet appointment. So then I called the vet and was able to make it for the following day (today). I finally got out of there at around 4pm. And that entire time I was sitting on basically a plain old metal folding chair. My back and shoulders were screaming at me. But I couldn't just go home and plop my happy ass down. We had other shit planned.

So I get home, pick up Master and then we headed on down to my dad's place to help him with more Ebay stuff. I think we left there around 8pm or so. When we got home we pretty much wolfed down dinner and finally collapsed in our usual spots in the living room.

I finally crashed around midnight. Master woke me up when He was ready to go to bed.

So far today hasn't been too bad. We took the mutt to his vet appointment. He got his distemper shot, a heart worm test, and a physical. He weighs in at 78lbs. The vet wants us to cut back on his portions. He didn't really say how much he needs to lose, but it's more than a couple pounds. The fucked up thing of it is that he isn't fat. He's just not where the vet thinks he should be. We trust that vet, so we listen. Our pup is going on a diet. The bill was a little higher than I thought it was going to be, but it needed to be done.

So far, it's been a pretty expensive weekend. And the shitty thing is it wasn't because of any fun stuff.

Ahh.. Saturday

July 16th, 2011

Master and I got up somewhat late. I woke up with a headache because apparently I slept on my back for most of the night, which I don't normally do. After we had woken up a bit Master took His shower and I talked to my mother for a while. From there we have just kind of winged it. We watched a movie, Master played a video game or two, and we talked. Then.. I became a nerd and started messing with my blog. I was trying to get the date to show up. With this particular theme it doesn't work so well. I was tweaking away and I just kept messing the look of my theme up. Finally I did a face palm and decided that the hell with it. I'll just put the date inside the damn post. That is just so much easier. I mean it's not even a big deal to have the date on the post show up. I would just prefer it. And I'm not willing to keep tweaking the code because since this template is extremely customized any one thing that I do can really screw it up. I got the time to stop showing up at the bottom of the post, which is all well and good, but I couldn't get the date to show without it totally throwing off other parts of the theme itself.

So the quick and easy fix is just to include the date inside the post. Ta-da! Easy. Such a thing is not worth the headache. Although, I did find a "reactions" function for the posts. On my old blog I had included "stars" to rate the blog. This is basically the same thing. It's at the bottom of each post. Currently I have "Hate it, Like it, Love it" as the choices. I don't know if I should add more of not. That seems to pretty much cover everything.

Tonight Master wants me to play a game with Him, which hopefully I will not suck at. Then after my bath I'll get dressed up for Master. I don't know what exactly. Sometimes He has a preference while other times He's tells me to pick. So this could get interesting.

I know not a lot of my blog posts have to do with kink right now. I've heard of "submissive journal prompts" for when I have no idea what to write about and I think I'll start using those. I think that will help pull other things out of my head and onto my blog as well for when the day to day stuff just kind of takes over, which honestly isn't what I want. Since it's still rather early in the evening (8:00pm) I might do one later. That should prove to be interesting.

Drained

I feel absolutely drained right now. First Master and I went to bed extremely late last night. Some where around 4am. We normally stay up late on Saturdays but usually not that late. Then today we slept in longer than we had intended. It was the afternoon before we woke up. We had errands to run which is why we meant to get up sooner but didn't want to set an alarm. The best thing about the weekend is not having to set up an alarm.

Well, we couldn't get out of the errands so we went anyway. Okay to be perfectly honest some of the errands could have waited but it didn't make sense to skip them since we were right there anyway. First we went to the pet store to get our pup some treats. He has a wheat allergy so he can only have certain kinds of treats. We were right by the game store so we stopped there. Master picked up two games that we in the bargain bin that He has played before and enjoyed. We also put $10 down on a game that He really wants. It doesn't come out until March but this gives us time to chip away at it so we don't need to pay $60 up front.

After that we went to another pet store because they are the only ones who sell our dog's food. Too bad they don't also sell his treats. It would save us a trip. He's worth the extra effort though. He's a great dog.

From there we went to K-Mart. We had gone there to get a bucket and a mop, but I also wanted to look at clothes because I wanted to get a few skirts. I wanted a couple ankle length ones so I could wear them to work. I also thought I'd look cute in ankle length skirts. But Master insisted that I also get some shorter ones, which I of course didn't have a problem with. He wants me to buy more skirts so I get away from wearing jeans all the time. I have no problem with that. I like wearing dresses and skirts, I just don't have many that are non-sluttish. Not that there is anything wrong with slutty skirts. I love those too. But I need skirts that I can wear day to day. Long ones for work and like a little above knee length around family and for when I don't want to wear a thong because my skirt is so short that if I bend over even a little I'm showing my ass.

So while Master is grabbing the other stuff I go into the women's clothing section. It wasn't really listed as "misses", "women's", or "plus size". So I did some digging. I could not find one fucking thing that wasn't a large or extra large. No offense what so ever meant towards women who wear those sizes. I just hate it when I can't find clothes in my size. It's irritating as hell. It was too hot out to go to any other stores that sell clothing so I gave up. This bummed me out because I was actually really looking forward to getting some skirts. It's a rarity for me to go "Yes! I should go clothes shopping!". Normally I hate it. So I get myself all excited about it and then a big let down. *sigh*

Hopefully I can go clothes shopping this upcoming weekend or maybe even some time this week depending on how I'm feeling.

I'm still feeling rather drained due to us being in the heat so much today (some of the stores didn't have their AC on) and I just wanted to relax. I normally love being on the computer but right now I just feel like it's a chore to type. I love my blog and I love blogging but I just don't seem to have the energy right now.

Pushing Myself

Although this is only a 2 1/2 day work week, it is kicking my ass. I only have a four hour work day tomorrow, thankfully. But yesterday and today have kicked my tail. I came back to quite a bit of work waiting for me after my four day weekend. Since I carpool to work I have no say in what time I get to work (as long as it's on time) and I have to leave on time as well. So that leaves my lunch hour and cranking out as much work as I possibly can.

Yesterday I only took a 15 minute lunch. Today I took a 20 minute lunch. My lunch "hour" is normally 45 minutes long. And I do not get small breaks during the day. No 15 minute breaks. Just an extended lunch.

But since I was cutting my lunches so short I was busting my ass all day yesterday and all day today without much down time to speak of. As a result tonight I'm tired and sore. I feel worn out and it's only been two days of work. Sometimes I think I push myself too much at work. But I want to do a good job, I want to make a good impression. I want to keep my job and I figure the best way of doing that is to do as much as I can the right way every time. Yes I make mistakes, obviously. But they are minor and few and far between.

As a result, I bust my tail and sometimes it bites me in the ass. (No pun intended.) Tonight is one of those nights. I feel worn out and just kind of blah.

Although tomorrow is looking promising. I only have a four hour work day. Shortly after I get home Master and I are meeting His dad for lunch. We haven't seen him in a few months now so it'll be fun to catch up. After that the car goes in for an oil change. Then? Nothing. We can just chill and have a good time. Saturday we are going down to spend time with my mother. So that should be fun as well.

Well I've spent about 9 hours typing on a computer today at work. So I think I'll cut it short right here.
