I’m back to normal again in terms of recovering from my fall last week. I still have my usual sore shoulders, but my rear end is once more pristine. I know it won’t remain that way for long. I’m owed several spankings. I don’t know how many; I imagine Mrs. Lion does.

We are starting activities late in the evening again. Mrs. Lion said that I fell asleep for about an hour last night between 8 PM and 9 PM. She remained on her side of the bed with her iPad until I said something at about 10. I mentioned that when I fall asleep in the evening, she sees that as a signal that nothing should happen. I pointed out that nothing would ever happen because I’m falling asleep almost every night nowadays. I also pointed out that she could always wake me up. There’s nothing like a spanking to get the blood flowing again.

Apparently, dozing off after dinner comes with advancing age. I think in my case it’s more because I get very few hours of sleep at night. Part of the problem is that I snoozed during the evening and that made me less tired at my proper bedtime. More important, is that my shoulder starts hurting and wakes me up after only two or three hours of sleep. After that, I rarely can get back to sleep again. I’ve given this a lot of thought and I don’t think it’s pathological.

Mrs. Lion mentioned that when she feels herself nodding off at work, she gets up and walks around to shake it off. When I fall asleep in the evening, I’m in bed. I also don’t get any warning. Most often I’m not even aware that I was asleep. I will find myself waking up at the end of a program with no memory of what happened after the first few minutes. I’m not taking any medication except at bedtime that might make me sleepy, so I have no real explanation for these sudden naps.

Obviously, we both bear some responsibility for pushing things off until late in the evening. I don’t think either of us does very well when we do things after 9 PM. I think it might make sense for us to revise our evening schedule a bit. One possibility is for Mrs. Lion to dispense with any disciplinary activities soon after she gets home from work. That way, before dinner the decks are cleared for play. Our current pattern is that Mrs. Lion takes her shower at about 8 PM and then when she gets out she will do her disciplinary thing. Then, she needs to wait a while if we are to do anything sexual. Being spanked does not get me aroused anymore. That means, any sexual activity probably won’t start before 930 or 10 PM. We both know that’s too late for me.

For the record, I’m owed several spankings for things I did wrong weeks ago. As far as I know, I haven’t committed any new spankable offenses. Perhaps Mrs. Lion needs to be more observant. Meanwhile, we both enjoy being close and holding hands. I just wish I wasn’t so damn tired.
