I had my procedure yesterday and all went well...well sort of.
There were NO surprises to be found in my uterus. YAY! Doc didn’t see anything concerning. Although waiting for the biopsy report is a little concerning, the doc wasn’t concerned al all.
Really good news.
BUT...apparently, while I was under, they put my legs up in the stirrups. Apparently, I’m not very flexible. I’m not sure what the hell they did to me but my legs are HURTING! The first thing I said when I woke up is my legs hurt.
They said I could go home after I pee. HA! I had to have Bossman and the nurse help me to the bathroom and it was so painful. It’s my hips. It’s like I did 5000 squats. They said if it was that bad that I might have to stay at the hospital. UM NO! So I got up and walked like an 80 year old woman and made it to the bathroom. Then I came home!
Today is not much better. I can’t walk. I sort of shuffle. I can’t bend down to sit on the toilet, so I sort of fall backwards onto the seat. I can’t even put my pants on. GAH!
What about my uterus, I hear you asking. It’s fine! Not a cramp, no bleeding, nothing! It’s like he didn’t do anything in there at all. Honestly, I feel like they put me on a stretching machine.
So, Here I am. I can’t move. I can’t do anything at all. It’s ridiculous!
Great Monday! How was yours?
Painfully yours,
grace
Monday
You know what I hate? Well, I hate a lot of things, but Mondays are top of the list. It could be the fact that I have to have that D&C on Monday.
You know what else I hate? I hate having my blood drawn.
Here’s the thing. I’ve had my blood drawn a bizillon times. I know the drill. I do not have easy to find veins. BUT, I know exactly where they go each time. SO, when I come in to get my blood drawn and you don’t listen to me. Well, I tend to get upset. I tend to panic. I tend to FREAK the heck out!
Unfortunately, this very thing happened at the pre-op appointment. I told him exactly where to get my blood from. He ignored me. He put the stupid rubber band thingie on my arm, told me to make a fist. Then unfist, then fist...you know the drill. When he couldn’t find the vein he started slapping the area, like that was going to wake up my veins. When that didn’t work, he started looking at my hand. It was about that time that I started to panic. He then put the rubber band thingie (yes, that is the official name) on my wrist. THEN, he starts slapping my hand around, like THAT was going to wake up the veins.
I’m about to freak out and then, THEN, he tells me to go to the bathroom and run my hand under cold water.
UM...NOPE! By this time, I’m at the end of my rope. I turn my arm over and point to the spot that they always get blood from and ask again if he could just do it there. He gives me a exasperated look and looks at my arm again. Feels it and then says....and I KID YOU NOT...he say, oh, I think you are right! Then proceeds to take my blood. GAH!!!!!!
So here's hoping Monday goes much smoother than yesterday!
Tell me fun stories, I need to get my mind off this!
Medically yours,
grace

Wait...what?
So the last time I posted was in July? Good Lord! Where the hell have I been?
I'll tell you what, life has thrown some serious curve balls in the last couple of months.
Let's start with the College boy. I'm going to call him CB cuz, I'm lazy and I have a lot to tell you.
Anyways...CB has decided NOT to go back to college. *gasp*
Ok, so he's in college but, but, but....he's moved back home. He didn't leave!!!!! As most of you probably know, he went to a boarding school in high school and that means he's been living in a boys dorm for 5 years. He had enough of dorms. So says him. BUT, the real reason he stayed home is because he wants to move to Indiana. Yes, I said Indiana. Coincidentally, his internet/Skype girlfriend happens to live there. So he's going to community college here and working and when he gets enough money he wants to move. He's going to take the rest of his classes online while living in Indy and get all his generals out of the way. THEN once he's lived in Indy for a year, he can claim residency in Indy. THEN, he want to finish his schooling at a College of business that is in Indy.
I commend you if you followed all that. Trust me when I say....This is not what we had planned for him. BUT, we realized that our dreams for our son are not the same dreams he has for himself. So, for now we having him home and although I love him dearly....DEAR GOD...He is a pig! So there is that. Plus, TMI headed your way. Bossman and I have had to learn how to have sex quietly. OMG! It's so hard to have a quiet orgasim. I'm just saying...
My life is turned upside down. Did I tell you about Yosemite? We went in July, Bossman and I. We
took our RV and it was great....until the fire. Yep, huge CA fire closed roads and smoked out all the major sights. We could barely see the beautiful half dome. So that happened.
Did ya'll see the eclipse? I saw it sort of, but my son-in-law got in a car accident, so that happened. Someone tried to turn left in front of him and he couldn't avoid her. Luckily, he was fine. Well, sort of. The car was totaled. It was 4 months old. He came home and thought he was fine but the next day he wasn't fine at all. He had a huge bruise across his entire stomache from his seatbelt. His shirt was ripped. He went to the hospital and they had to give iv meds and he was on antibiotics for a week. He got a skin infection. So that happened. They got a new car, so it all worked out but it was pretty scary.
Around that same time I had gone to my doctor for a routine blood test. I'm going to talk about girl stuff now, so prepare yourself...
I told my doc that I stopped my period in January. So they wanted to get a blood test to see where my hormones were at. Apparently a normal woman in menopause has a estrogen level of 5 to 50. Mine was 759. Nobody said I was normal! Of course my doc told me to see my cancer doc. I only see him once a year and low and behold, I had an appointment with him for the next week. But before that I had to have another blood test and a pelvic ultrasound, and yes, it's as fun as it sounds! A woman shoving a wand up my hootch. So much fun! I spent the day after the test sitting at home under my blanket thinking the worst. But they called and said they didn't find anything remarkable, to which I replied...WHAT? My uterus is extremely remarkable!
But then I went to my cancer doc and talked to him. He didn't seem too concerned, but said my uterus lining is thick, like the rest of me... and I needed to see a gynecological oncologist to get another opinion. Ok fine. It seems that the meds I take for BC can cause uterine cancer. So better safe than sorry.
So last week I went to the new doc. He wanted to do a biopsy on my lining right there in the office. He said it didn't hurt and only took a few seconds. I thought I was going in for a consult and this guy wants to look in my hootch. Not in my plans but...ok, lets do it. Now folks, I have a bit of PTSD when it comes to doctors. So I tend to get a bit panicky. But I sucked it up and pulled down my pants. He got up in there and wait...what? He can't do it because I have a cyst blocking my uterus. So now I have to go in for a d and c. Apparently they want to just scrape out my uterus and take care of the cysts. Luckily this is done under general anesthesia. I just can't wait for that to happen. Suppose to happen in a couple of weeks. Should be just like a party!
I think I've caught you up on all the fun happening here in graceland.
Please tell me what you all have been up too! I need a good spanking. (story)
Dramatically yours,
grace

Summer!!!
Where or where did I leave off in this fabulous story of grace?
I am too lazy to go back and read what I wrote so I'm just going to tell you what has happened this past month.
We went to the races. Oh, I think I told you that already.
When we got home from the races I was looking forward to a couple of weekend to you know...clean my house...but no. Bossman comes to me on a Thursday and asks if I want to go to Vegas. In 2 days!
What?! Of course I want to go, but we just got home 4 days ago and why do we have to go now?
Apparently, a guitarist from the band Stryper (which is an 80's heavy metal christian rock band) was playing on Fremont street. Alrighty then...
So Stryper was Bossmans favorite band in all the world. His mother was very strict christian (unlike now which she is mus*lim) (and if you are new here...well that is quite a story and NO I'm not kidding) and wouldn't allow Bossman to play any music on his guitar unless it was christian. So he found a heavy metal christian band and he watched this guitarist play and Bossman plays a mean guitar and this guy was a HUGE influence on his guitar playing! WHEW!!!! That was a lot to say.
Well, guess who went to Vegas and guess who met his guitar hero! Bossman was super excited. He met him and he talked to him and he even took pics with him. Oh, I had fun too!
After we got home we had about a week or so and then Bossman had to fly to Washington so he could drive home with the college boy. While he was gone the wildchild and her hubby came to town and hung out with me.
College boy and Bossman made it home safely 2 days later. YAY! College boy will be home until the end of September. I'm hoping to have a fun summer of camping with him.
This week my son-in-law had to go out of town. My daughter had jury duty, so rather than have her stay home alone, I came over to her house. I'm here now. I'm just watching tv, playing on my ipad and generally having a fine time. Unfortunately, my girl got picked for the actual jury and so instead of having a girls week, I'm hanging out by myself.
Oh well, at least she doesn't have to stay home by herself.
As for spanking....ha! What is that? It always seems that when the boy comes home, that's when Bossman and I get more frisky. So stupid! I haven't given up hope...I'm still hoping. I'm always hoping!!!
So that's what's going on in my neck of the woods! What have you guys been up to lately? Any fun summer plans?
Relaxingly yours,
grace

Merry Christmas
Last Christmas I didn't know what to get Bossman. The man has everything he could want and more!
The wildchild thought of a great gift! Tickets to a Ferrari race weekend. The track has camping spaces, so I paid for all the tickets for the three day event and reserved a camping spot and bought a hat to give him on Christmas morning with the reservations.
Guess where we are now?
So Merry Christmas to Bossman!
I am sitting in the camper watching the races! Ha!
These are really good races! I'll let you know who wins!
Speedily yours,

Vacation
I had the best time!
I'd love to tell you all about it, but I'm knee deep in laundry and if you know me AT ALL, you know how much I love laundry!
So, I leave you with this picture of me.
This pic probably tells you more about my vacation than I could with words.
Also, go read this book! http://www.amazon.com/Amis-Courage-Taylor-Evans-ebook/dp/B06XSTMZ2Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493756179&sr=8-1&keywords=Taylor+Evans!
I just read it and I'm sad it's over! I'm also sad the vacation is over.

Easter pizza
I hope you all had a great Easter. We spent ours with our daughter and her in-laws. They are all very nice people and we had a lovely time. It was nice to go somewhere since this was the first Easter without the college boy. I was sad that he wasn't here. I missed him. I missed not having the kids here to find eggs and give baskets to. I did send the college boy a box with Easter candy and stuff that I would have put in a basket. He loved it. He said he was going to have an Easter pizza for dinner. I sure hope they made a bunny out of the pepperoni.
We are getting ready for our trip to Cabo. This resort is amazing. Apparently a lot of celebrities hang out at this resort. I can see why. I mean, you get your own butler, they give you a sewing kit that matches the color of your clothes, they send up a fruit plate in the afternoon for a snack. There are margaritas around every corner. The room smells amazing due to some aromatherapy and when you walk in they have the TV sent to some nature channel so you hear the sounds of nature. Not to mention the huge patio that over looks the sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean.
Last time, we landed and went to the welcome meeting and found out they were sending us home the next day because a hurricane was due to hit. We weren't even there for 24 hours when we were on a plane heading home. Talk about disappointed. Since we aren't going during hurricane season, I think we will stay a bit longer this time. The best part is, Bossman earned this trip through a company he works with so we don't even have to pay for all this!
Well, that's all that going on here. Bossman did give my butt some attention, but that...my friends is a story for another day!
Brattily yours,

Busy, busy, busy
Sadly I have forgotten all about you guys the last few weeks. Things have been crazy busy and April is turning out to be crazy busy too!
Not that I'm complaining, we have been having fun and living life! The boy came home from college and we decided to take the rv to the beach for a couple of days. The wildchild and her husband joined us for a couple of days. There wasn't a lot of people there and the weather wasn't ideal but because of that it turned out perfect. We had the beach to ourselves and it was nice a cozy in the rv when it rained.
I think I've mentioned that Bossman likes to race cars. He's buying a new race car and so we will be spending some time at the track this month. Lucky for me the track is 20 minutes from my daughters house so it's always fun hanging out with them.
Also Bossman has scored us a trip to Cabo. If you will remember...and frankly, how could you forget, a couple of years ago we went but had to come back the next day because of a hurricane. Well the same company is sending us back! YAY! It's this month so I'm hopeful there won't be any hurricanes in the forecast.
Now if you open your big book of grace, you might remember that I have a crazy mother-in-law. We spent about 4 years not talking to her. Back in June, Bossman's dad had some heart troubles and we went to the hospital. It was the first time in 4 years that we had contact with his mother. Since then, we've gotten along pretty well. She even came over for Christmas. A week before the college boy came home, she called and wanted to know if we could come over for dinner while he was home. Long story short, I had to change the date a couple of times due to camping and a funeral of a friend that I wanted to attend. BUT...I bent over backwards to make things work out. On the day we were suppose to go over I called her and she acted surprised. She said she would call back later in the day to figure out what we were going to do. Couple hours later, she sent me a hateful text. The text pretty much said she felt like an afterthought (I called her 3 times that week) She also couldn't understand why her grandson hadn't called her all week. (He's 18, I have no control over who he calls, also, he thought we were going to her house.) I was so mad and Bossman got so mad! At first I was going to respond but then I decided not to say anything. Bossman told me to leave it and that it was time to cut her off again. I completely agree. I am not going to let her treat me like crap anymore. I don't deserve that.
Let's be clear, I am a very nice, forgiving person. She is very hateful and I think she's bi-polar. I'm so tried of trying to please her. It was a good 9 months, but I'm done. Also, just so you know, I never told the college boy what grandma said, I just told him that it didn't work out going over there. He wasn't heartbroken over it.
I hope you all are doing good
Here are two great pictures from the beach

28
Sunday, March 12th 1989.
That was the day we got married. I was 20. He was 20. We weren't old enough to drink. We weren't old enough to rent golf carts on our honeymoon. We were, however, old enough to get married. Nobody should be old enough to get married at 20. For heaven sake, we were just babies.
The odds were against us. In today's world the odds seem against marriage period. Marriage at that age? HA! Good luck.
We made it against the odds. We stayed married. We had two children and we raised them to adulthood. We survived health scares and old cars and top ramen dinners. We survived 10 moves and between us we survived 8 different jobs. We survived the dreaded 7 year itch. We survived family dramas. Together we mourned the passing of grandparents, fathers (mine) and his beloved sister.
We also celebrated. We celebrated the births of our babies. We celebrated the weddings of our siblings. We celebrate the births of nieces and nephews. We celebrated birthdays and holidays. We celebrated our children's graduations. We celebrated our daughters wedding. We celebrated our own anniversaries and we celebrated growing old together.
There are so many things that happened the last 28 years it's hard to recall them all. These years have been full of happiness, sadness, fear, anger, laughter. Mostly though, when I really think about it, I realize that these last 28 years have been filled with love. Actually, I didn't really have to think about it at all.
I'm not sure how I got to be so lucky. I didn't do anything to deserve this life. I didn't do anything to deserve this man. I was just a girl who wanted to roller skate with a boy. Little did I know the boy I picked was the right one. Little did I know what a magnificent life we would have.
This ride has been amazing. I wouldn't want to be on it with anyone else. I sure hope we don't have to get off anytime soon. We have so much to look forward to. We are looking forward to our son graduation college, getting married, having babies. We are looking forward to our daughter having babies. (soon please!) We are looking forward to traveling in our trailer and retiring by the beach.
I don't know for sure what the future will hold, but I do hope that whatever happens we are together and holding hands. That and making omelettes.
That was the day we got married. I was 20. He was 20. We weren't old enough to drink. We weren't old enough to rent golf carts on our honeymoon. We were, however, old enough to get married. Nobody should be old enough to get married at 20. For heaven sake, we were just babies.
The odds were against us. In today's world the odds seem against marriage period. Marriage at that age? HA! Good luck.
We made it against the odds. We stayed married. We had two children and we raised them to adulthood. We survived health scares and old cars and top ramen dinners. We survived 10 moves and between us we survived 8 different jobs. We survived the dreaded 7 year itch. We survived family dramas. Together we mourned the passing of grandparents, fathers (mine) and his beloved sister.
We also celebrated. We celebrated the births of our babies. We celebrated the weddings of our siblings. We celebrate the births of nieces and nephews. We celebrated birthdays and holidays. We celebrated our children's graduations. We celebrated our daughters wedding. We celebrated our own anniversaries and we celebrated growing old together.

read this book
Elizabeth's Bondage by Nikki Sex.
If you haven't read this book yet, I suggest you leave this blog right now, head over to Amazon, because we all know you have a kindle, and download this book.
So, I don't want to give much away, but it starts off with a woman blindfolded and bond to a bed.
Really, that's all I'm going to tell you.
Here's the thing. It actually made me think. Usually, books of this nature are sort of mind numbing. Same old sex scenes, same old spanking scene or bondage scene. Don't get me wrong, I like mind numbing. But sometimes it a bit...repetitive.
I thought this book would be the same. And honestly I was looking for something that was an easy read and that might get the juices flowing, as they say.
This book was that, but more. There were some parts that made me think. Some of it just made sense. Like I was saying, YES, this is exactly how I feel.
All I know is you should read this book. And then we should all discuss it. I really would like to discuss it.
Also, My son will be home in 13 days. In case you were keeping track. Not that I'm counting the days, hours or minutes. I have WAY more important things to do.
Now I need a new book. Anyone know when Eva's book is coming out? How about a new PK book about Cal?
Thoughtfully yours,
grace

boring post
No baby yet...bummer, but we kind of thought that would happen. She felt that the timing was off so she was prepared for a negative result. We are very hopeful for next month though! Keep baby making thoughts flowing. I told her to keep everything crossed except her legs. She didn't think that was funny, but I found it hilarious! I'm just a really funny gal!
Two weekends ago we decided to take out the trailer for a little camping time. We went to a beach location not far from our house. We had a great time. It seems picking up the trailer and towing it always has it's challenges but once we get there and get settled it is well worth the hassle.
Bossman has spanked me a few times. Usually it's nothing to write about just your average spanking before sex. Not that I'm complaining. I am glad to have it back in any capacity. After blogging for so many years, it's really hard to write about spanking in an interesting way. I keep waiting for inspiration to happen. I'll be sure to let you know when that happens.
My son has been back at college since New Year's Day. This is the longest I've gone without seeing him. I miss him so much. He will be coming home March 15th. I can't wait!!!!!
I guess that's all for now. I hope you all have been having a great February.
Boringly yours,

Oh baby
My daughter, the wildchild, has been having health issues. She's fine but there is one thing that is not fine. She is having a hard time getting pregnant. She's been married almost 2 years and unfortunatley they have been trying this whole time.
It's so hard being a parent and not being able to fix your childs problems. I want to fix this so bad and I just can't!
She's taking a drug now that hopefully will help. She found out today that her ovaries and tubes are all good so we are hoping...
I keep telling her that I will never give up hope. Somehow, someway, she will have a child. We don't know when or how this will happen and we don't even know if she will be the one delivering it but I KNOW it will happen.
Who knows, with this new drug, it could happen soon. I'm not getting my hopes up. (Oh yes, I AM) but I just hope it happens. As much as I want a grand baby, I just really want my daughter to be happy.
So, I'll let you know when to bring out the shawl, the cane, the dentures and the Ben-gay. And if you could, sent a baby positive thought in my daughters direction!
Thanks,
Babies on my mind,
grace

Blocked!
I don't know if this is a yahoo thing or a blogger thing but I keep getting these when I comment on someone's blog. Now, I know they aren't blocking me because I can see my comment on their blog. One of my friends sent me an email and she got the same thing when commenting and yet I didn't block her and her comment showed up fine on my blog.
So...what gives? Anybody know what's going on? Anybody know how to stop that from happening?
Also please note...I have not blocked ANYONE from commenting on my blog. I have been very blessed to not get trolls on my blog. I know they are out there, but so far they haven't snooped around here. Either my writing is terrible or my stories are boring. Whatever the case may be, they have stayed away and I am grateful for that. So PLEASE don't think I blocked you.
I love you guys! Thanks for continuing to read and comment!

It happened like this...
When I last left you I was hoping against hope that I would get some action in the buttockal area.
There was action!
It happened like this...
BAH! You KNOW how it happened! It happened like usual. Getting frisky, head to the bedroom. Pulls pants down. Faces you to the wall. Undresses all the way. Guides you over his lap. Smacks the crap out of your ass. (Wait...what?) Puts you back against the wall. Does something you cannot see. Pulls you back over his lap. Smacks the crap out of your ass again. (Ouch!) And then...well sheez, I am not going to kiss and tell! HA!
It was pretty awesome! I forgot how much it hurts. I forgot how much I liked it. I forgot how much my butt hurts afterwards. I forgot how sexy it is.
I remember now. Damn! That's good!
Tenderly,
grace

For those of you questioning my thoughts on going to Yosemite in the winter, I feel the need to explain.
I live in CA. It doesn't snow where I live. If it gets in the 50's we complain and have to go find a hoodie. We don't have snow boots, gloves, heavy coats or pretty much anything that keeps us warm. We don't need it. So, going to Yosemite and playing in the snow is a treat and a delight for us. It's a novelty really. Also it's a really good excuse to buy cute boots!
So no snow for us. But like I said early, we had an awesome time in Vegas. So awesome that we are thinking of going again at the end of Feb. Or maybe for our anniversary in March.
Let's talk spanking for a minute. Actually, lets just think about it for a minute. Thinking...thinking...thinking...
Yep, it was really good. I would like some more of that please!
I thought I might yesterday when Bossman said that later he might warm my butt. I was a little non committal about it because frankly I never believe him when he says it and I was right to think that way because I pretty sure he forgot. Kind of a bummer. I could have reminded him, but I just don't want to become pushy about it. I want him to want to do it. I told him that a while back when we were talking about it. I told him I didn't want to push him into something that he didn't want to do. So...
I will try and be patient. I think he just forgot. Obviously, he wants to do it or he wouldn't have done it in Vegas.
Well, I'm holding out hope!
How was your weekend? Anything exciting happen?
Hopefully yours,
grace

A little bit of this and a little bit of THAT
Yosmite was snowed in. No electric and roads were closed. So we had to come up with a plan b. I mean we had the time off, we should use it.
We thought of taking out the rv. Around these parts its been in the 50's. Although not unbearably cold, it's was a little too cold for the beach. So, after tossing around a few more ideas we decided to head to Vegas!
We've been here since Tuesday and are heading home tomorrow. We've had the best time. Bossman shmoozed his way into a pretty nice suite. This place has two bathrooms. I love having my own bathroom! We didn't have much of an agenda so we've just been gambling a little and hanging out together. It has been so much fun.
Last night things got a little sexy around here. After doing a very silly strip tease, which included me flinging my bra around, Bossman ended up pulling me over his lap for a nice little spanking!
After not having one for awhile, it started to hurt pretty quickly and then things started going in another direction real fast, so it wasn't exactly a long spanking, but it was enough to get my attention and it was enough to make me realize I would like some more PLEASE!
Also, we won about 200 in the slots.
That's it for now,
Spankly yours,
grace

My back
My back is feeling much much better! Sitting is the worst, so I've been doing a lot of standing and laying. I can finally sit without much pain. The worst part of that whole episode is the wildchild and her hubby came to the house to paint my kitchen cabinets. We paid them. It took a couple of days and my house was torn apart but the cabinets look really nice now. Problem was, I wasn't much help and I felt completely helpless. But, it's done now so I survived.
Bossman and I had a rather interesting conversation the other night while in bed. It's always easier to talk to him about sexual and spanking things in the dark. Spanking was brought up and I'm hopeful that we might start up again. I know, I've been saying that for awhile but it feels like everytime we have the house to ourselves, someone isn't feeling well (me) someone's back is hurting (again, me) or someone is on her period. (Hm who could that be?). By the time I'm back up and running, the wildchild is here. (Look who just walked in the door for the next 4 days!). She lives two hours away and yet I see her more than when she lived here.
Hopefully, things will turn around next week. Oh, we are headed to Yosemite to the snow, so, who knows, maybe it will be the perfect time to warm my buns!

7 years
Even when you are down and out, the world keeps spinning. Time keeps moving. Life goes on.
7 years ago on Jan 15th, around noon, I got the call that would change my life. It would change the way I live. It would change the way I think. It would change the way I look. It would change my mental and physical being. It was the day I found out I had breast cancer.
Amazingly enough, I didn't even think about it yesterday. I may not have thought about it today if it weren't for facebook memories that like to pop up when you least want them.
I'm one of the lucky ones. I survived. My sister in law died 6 months after I found out. She didn't survive. She did everything she could to survive but it didn't happen. It's not because she didn't fight, it's not because she lost the battle. It's because her body was different than ours. It didn't respond to the treatment. It wasn't her fault. She did everything in her power.
It's just crazy. I don't understand it. One survives, one doesn't. It's just not fair. But it's life and we have to deal with it the best way we can. We cannot live in fear. We must live our best life because the ones that aren't here would have wanted it that way. They would love to still be here living. So we must live on, for them.
So today I'm going to live. I'm going to enjoy my day. I'm going to appreciate THIS day for tomorrow is not promised.
I suggest you do the same!
Survivingly,
grace
Backache
My back has been hurting all week. Just a low dull pain in my back. Today I had a baby shower to attend. Also, my lease is up on my car, so after the shower we were going to get a new car.
Sounds like a nice day right?
Also, before I even got out of bed, I had lovely morning sex.
So, you see, the day was looking bright!
I got all gussied up and headed out to the garage. Bossman was following me because we were talking about how this was my last ride in my car, I really loved that car. I put my leg into the car when...
BAM! My back literally went out. Like, I couldn't move. I was stuck with one foot in and one foot out of the car.
Thank goodness Bossman was there. After I got a grip on what was happening he was able to help me shuffle into the house. I bent over the counter...much like a spanking position and decided I was just going to lay there for the rest of the day. Although I was in a lot of pain, I was very aware of the position I was in. I was really wishing the pain in my back was lower and hotter.
So, now I sit here on a heating pad. Again, why couldn't my butt be heated? Instead I missed out on my really great day. I didn't make it to the shower and my husband is picking up my new car without me. I don't even know if I will be able to ride in it today.
So, in conclusion...I'm feeling very very sorry for myself right now. Feel free to feel sorry for me too!
Achingly yours,
