I’m almost willing to admit that I have a cold. It just doesn’t seem as bad as the colds I’ve had recently. They have been knocking me on my butt so the only option I have is to stay in bed. This one allows me to get up for a while before it rips my legs out from under me again. Lion and I have been snoozing a lot. We did manage to make a pretty good Thanksgiving dinner.

We’ve been watching college football recently. Last year I told Lion that you can see future NFL players by watching them play in college. He agreed. We generally watch whoever happens to be playing but we might watch Washington vs Washington State and maybe Michigan vs Ohio State. We both like Washington and I like Michigan. However, there’s only so much football Lion can stand.

I’ve been on the lookout for more games to play. Obviously I could come up with a college football game, but then what happens when football season is over? We don’t really watch any other sports. We do watch a lot of cop show reruns. Maybe I can come up with a similarity between them and give Lion swats when it happens. Maybe ten swats when someone punches someone. Who knows? It’s just a thought at this point.

Neither Lion nor I brave the crowds on Black Friday. There’s nothing I want badly enough. When I worked in retail I didn’t want to go. Luckily I was always scheduled later in the morning after most of the craziness was over. And I never had to work on Thanksgiving day. I probably would have quit if they hadn’t fired me first.

So Lion and I are hunkered down in the house awaiting an Amazon Fresh order of a ton of soup and anything we needed just so we didn’t have to go near a store after Monday. I can’t imagine how horrible traffic is even around the grocery stores that aren’t near other stores. Besides, I don’t think we could have managed an excursion in the rain the way we both feel.

I was supposed to wax Lion this weekend. I had it all planned out. I exchanged not leaving the house for a fully waxed Lion. I know he doesn’t want to leave the house, but I’m not sure either of us is up for waxing.

(Thanksgiving Day) We’re both under the weather. I’m feeling a bit better today. I actually got out of bed to write this post. Mrs. Lion isn’t sure if she is sick or not. This is typical of her. Illness sneaks up on her. Fortunately, we have the long weekend together with only a very short to-do list (waxing me is the only item I’m aware of). Neither of us want to brave the Black Friday crowds. We have our supplies and can snuggle in bed.

Sex isn’t on my mind. I guess that’s a good sign I’m not all better. Sleep was very difficult last night. I closed my eyes at midnight and was wide awake at 1:30 AM. I decided to watch TV until I was sleepy. The movie “Paper Lion” was on. We both love football and I stayed wide awake until it ended at 3am. I got another 4 hours sleep.

I have a lot to be thankful for. First and foremost, I’m eternally grateful for my wonderful lioness. She means more to me than anything. If I end my list here, I’m one of the luckiest people in the world. There’s more; a lot more. We live in a peaceful place with a mild climate. We have a warm place to sleep and plenty to eat. In today’s world, that is a lot.

Too often we think about what we’re missing instead of what we have. You may not have the ideal power exchange. You may crave a keyholder or disciplinary wife. You may want a chastity device. Chances are pretty good you will get at least some of those things. Before you can even think about wanting kink or power exchange, you have to have enough to eat and a place to sleep.

This is a very good time to consider what we have rather than what we want. All in all, I’m doing very well. I’m thankful.

 

Lion has a cold. He stayed in bed all yesterday except for short trips to the kitchen and bathroom, and a conference call. We had mushroom barley soup for dinner that he made about a week ago. I hope he eats the leftover for lunch. He needs something warm and cozy.

I’m still not sure if my stuffy/runny nose and cough are a cold or from the CPAP. I sound much worse than I feel. Yesterday I was barely able to stay awake. I left work early and then decided that the exhaustion was due, in part, to my taking nighttime cold medicine so my cough and whatever this sinus thing is didn’t keep me awake. I’m pretty sure the gunk that puts you to sleep accumulates in my system to the point that I can’t function. I feel better this morning since I didn’t take it last night.

I suppose it’s good news that we’ve gotten sick when we have four days off from work. I think I’ll be able to shove the turkey in the oven tomorrow. The most elaborate thing Lion makes is the sweet potato dish with marshmallows on it. Mashed potatoes and stuffing aren’t difficult. The gravy just needs to be defrosted and heated. We should be able to accomplish it all in short bursts of energy.

It’s a good thing I gave Lion an orgasm the other night. He may not want any action for a while. That makes for a boring blog, but what can we do? I think it’s also important to show what we do in our normal day-to-day lives. Our bodies may not be willing to move but our minds still work. I bet we can come up with some amazing, drug-induced ideas in four days.

I had to drag it out of him with the Magic Wand, but I was able to give Lion a full orgasm last night. He had trouble getting very far the night before. I figured that was because we played so late. Last night wasn’t late but there might have been something else going on. Maybe he’s just in a slump.

Regardless, I wanted him to have an orgasm, so when he suggested the Magic Wand I went with it. Ideally I would have used my mouth but I’ve had a cough and a stuffy nose since I started with the CPAP so oral was out. Plus I think we might both be coming down with colds. Perfect timing. We can snooze for four days starting Wednesday night.

Lion looked to see when his last regular orgasm was and reported that it was roughly three weeks ago. I don’t keep track. I don’t even ask before I give him any kind of orgasm. I just get the idea that he should come and there it is. Lion isn’t arguing. Perhaps he’d like more but he’s happy with edging and ruined orgasms. He better be. It’s not up to him.

I may be wrong but I think it’s better, from a power perspective, to give him any sort of orgasm when he isn’t particularly horny. It seems like I’m taking it rather than giving it. When he’s super horny, it’s easy to make him come. He wants to. There’s no challenge in that. Not that I don’t love giving that super hard cock the orgasm he’s straining to have, but taking it when he’s noncommittal is good too.

Good thing Lion doesn’t have many days when he really doesn’t want an orgasm. Are there days when a man doesn’t want an orgasm? Sometimes the mind is willing but the body has other ideas.
