A full week.

Good stuff this week. Here’s the semi-quick and dirty, since I really need to get off the computer and start my evening:
I quit my part-time job on Saturday. It was very anticlimactic. No tearful goodbyes after 6 years of employment, really no goodbyes of any kind. The only person who knew it was my last day was the manager who makes the schedule. it’s a little sad, and I’m feeling a little nervous about the fact that I won’t have that extra income anymore - it wasn’t a lot, but it put money in my wallet for things like lunches and snacks and reading material and gasoline.
Derek came over Tuesday night, for a nice low-pressure bondage-and-a-movie evening. I’ve never done anything like that with anyone before. It’s the kind of thing I’ve often thought about, but didn’t really think a play partner would want to do. The best part is that I wasn’t the least bit stressed about it beforehand - usually I get anxious before playing, worrying about doing a good job, holding myself up to some vague standard of fabulous domhood or something. Knowing that it’s on me to make sure we both have a good time, afraid that I’ll fail.
Yesterday was clay day. The woman who used to be my boss, who I suppose I could now call a friend.. we’ll call her Rose here… anyhoo, she has a kiln and does ceramics, and she invited me over last week and yesterday to play with clay. It’s going to be a weekly thing, which is so exciting. I’ve done a fair bit of crafting, but very little actual art in the seven years since I graduated from college with my useless Fine Arts degree. It felt so good to create like that, to use my hands to shape something from nothing. I originally intended to make penis fountains, which I’ve been talking about doing for years, but ended up making goddesses instead. I’m very excited about my three little ladies, even though they’re not quite done (and I need to fix a few things), so I have to show them off:
Tonight I’m going to try and hit up the Peep Show, since Artomatic is closing this weekend. It’s already 6pm though and I haven’ t eaten or showered, so we’ll see how that goes. Maybe I could go on Saturday instead…
Tomorrow night I’ll be at the local(ish) dungeon, for a burlesque show and play party. It’ll be the first time I’ve been to that place in two years I think. Then Saturday night is a women’s play party… I’m trying not to be nervous. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me that I’ll be social and actually talk to people, and not stand in a corner looking painfully submissive by myself all night.
So.. Busy, busy! And all good! Xel even called me of his own volition last night, just to chat. Now all I need is to get a decent night’s rest - self-discipline, where art thou?
