Yesterday Lion did me a huge favor. He took my truck in for an oil change and I stole his car for the day. That may not seem like much of a favor, but the oil change dragged into a brake job and it took all day. We wound up getting home at the same time. And how did I repay him? By unlocking him and then getting engrossed in a TV show until it was late. We never played. We never even snuggled. But we did hold hands.

Tonight I’ve decided we’ll play Zapardy! It’s been a while since he’s worn the shock collar. Same rules as before: a zap for an incorrect answer and no penalty for no answer. I still haven’t figured out how to reward a correct answer. But I guess not getting zapped is a reward all on its own. I wondering if there’s a way to play Wheel of Fortune with the shock collar too. I’m sure I can figure it out given some time. Then Lion will have a full hour of potential zaps. Poor thing.

One thing I did manage to do last night was punish Lion for getting food on his shirt at dinner. It wasn’t necessarily as soon after as he’d like it, but it happened the same night. Much better than waiting until Thursday. Of course, Lion would prefer I forget all together. Our Lion bank has fallen by the wayside as I try to get the punishment closer to the crime. There really should be no reason to have designated punishment nights anymore. I think we’ll hang onto them until I get better at punishment as soon as possible. I’m definitely still a work in progress.

I think Lion neglected to follow what he wrote in his own post. He wrote:

“If he persists, she gives him a painful bite. He never retaliates.”

Oh really? Last night’s behavior proves otherwise. [Lion — Is pouting retaliation?]

When we came home from dinner, I was in more pain than usual. I told Lion. I did try to snuggle with him at one point, but my neck was very stiff and I said it was uncomfortable to be in the snuggling position. I went back to my side of the bed and tried not to move too much. Everything hurt, but my neck was the worst. We ran through some TV shows we had recorded and then Lion asked what I wanted to watch. I picked a show, which I almost never do. A short time later, Lion got quiet and even left the room. When he came back, I asked if he was OK. He said, “Why wouldn’t I be?” I didn’t push it. I also didn’t push it when he didn’t speak for the rest of the night. Or when he rolled over and went to sleep without a kiss.

This morning was more of the same. I finally broke the silence by asking him what he wanted for breakfast. I suggested one thing but he didn’t want it. I started making something else and he didn’t want that either. Eventually he told me he doesn’t know what I want and that’s why he was mad. The short version is that he was disappointed because I didn’t tell him bluntly that we weren’t going to play. In the past, saying I’m very achy has been enough. Something changed. Now I don’t follow through with plans and I don’t do what I say I’m going to do. For the record, I didn’t promise or even allude to anything in yesterday’s post.

So, here we are, back to the beginning of 2.0, who emerged after a previous “discussion” about my achiness. No worries. 2.0 is back again. Since Lion insists on acting like a baby, he will be treated like a baby. When we get back from our errands today, Lion will be in a diaper. Any grumbling will be met with swats. On a bare bottom, not through the diaper. Tonight, although it is not punishment night, he will receive swats for the silent treatment as well as the missed good night kiss. Consider this the painful bite, Lion. And don’t even think about retaliating.

swat bank
Lion suggested that if I spank him for no reason, those swats could go into the swat bank for future offenses. No way!

Yesterday Lion said he was being a baby about waiting to hear about the job he wants. They told him it would take a week to hear anything further. Additionally, he’s confirmed that the hiring process can drag on for months. Of course he wants to know right now. When he admitted to being a baby, I almost told him babies wear diapers and he should be careful about his behavior. After reading this morning’s post, I wonder if that was the reaction he was looking for. [Lion — Uh oh.]

I figured he’s been on edge about the job. I didn’t want to add something he hates to the mix. He even asked recently if we could lay off the CBT. I’m guessing that request was because he wasn’t very horny and didn’t want that sort of play adding insult to injury. [Lion — I was just tired of CBT and wondered if we could do other things.] The past few days he’s been horny again, but I know he’s still worrying. I’m just getting a lot of mixed signals. Are we playing or not? Does he want to be edged or not? And, yes, I know I’m in charge, but I’ve been deferring to his moods lately. It does neither of us any good if I’m jerking him off (or at least trying to) when he’s not in the mood.

However, last night I did do something a little different. It was punishment night and Lion had nothing on his list since I had taken care of infractions the same day they happened. I congratulated him on not having anything on his list and then I told him I was going to swat him anyway. Why? I think the better question is why not? I didn’t swat him very hard. I used my hand and it was the opposite hand I normally use so I really think it hurt me more than it hurt him. Now that I think about it, he never thanked me for swatting him. Hmmm…. I guess he has something to be swatted for tonight.

A little later in the evening, Lion interrupted me. I said it was a good thing I’d swatted him earlier. It’s almost like I knew he’d need those swats. Perhaps I’m just a shade clairvoyant. He said it was good to have a bank of swats saved up for future infractions. I don’t know if I like that idea. I do like the idea of whomping him “just because”. I think maybe the bank of swats would be similar to waiting to punish him. If he received swats on Tuesday for an infraction he didn’t commit until Wednesday, wouldn’t that have the same effect as punishing him Thursday for something he did Wednesday? I’ve been trying to punish him closer to the infraction as he requested so it would have to biggest impact. No pun intended. [Lion — She’s right. Prepunishing would have no value in sending me a message.]

Nope. I think a bank of swats is a bad idea. I will, however, continue to do “just because” swats whenever I feel like it. Lion can always use the practice holding still. And I need practice perfecting my placement and effectiveness. We both have lots of work to do.

Our weekend was great. I doubt that most people would find what we did very exciting. We shopped, had lunch at Arby’s and worked on our lawn tractor. Oh yes, Mrs. Lion gave me an orgasm on Sunday night. Yesterday was different. Mrs. Lion went off to work and I had a day alone. She finds it hard to believe that I don’t like that. If I weren’t around, I think she would be a hermit. She finds endless things to do with her computer from Facebook to various online games. I am almost immediately bored with what I find online. I do enjoy reading other FLR and enforced chastity blogs. But that doesn’t eat up too much time.

So I began my Monday by rewatching some episodes of “Mozart in the Jungle” and then did the laundry. I’m yawning writing about it. The highlight of my day was a trip to Safeway supermarket to refill a prescridsption and buy some veggies for dinner. Last night’s culinary triumph was meatloaf, corn on the cob, and sauteed green beans. Are you yawning too? My libido is low since I did come on Sunday night.

I did get a couple of calls from head hunters who were touting jobs that required skills I don’t have. These people do searches on various job sites and do keyword searches. So if my resume has the word “financial” in it, they call me about a financial manager job. They don’t even take the time to skim my resume. I’m not a financial manager. I don’t know SAP and I am not interested in junior jobs paying half what I typically earn; at least not yet. Job hunting is tiring.

One other side effect of all this spare time is that I reflect in detail on recent events. Yesterday I realized that I have been consistently breaking one of Mrs. Lion’s rules. I haven’t been thanking her for spanking me. I don’t feel very thankful, but it is a rule. I will do better. She, on the other hand, has been on the ball. Sunday night when she spanked me, she said something new. After she finished, she said, “Interrupting me annoys me. When I’m annoyed, your butt is sore.” It was.

During my “me” time yesterday, I realized that her statement is pure FLR. She is making me sure that I understand that any time I cause her any grief, the pain will be mine. I may have asked for rules and punishment, but she has made practical use of my request. My lioness is asserting herself. That’s great. I’m proud of her.

Perhaps today will be more interesting. I’m out of laundry so I hope something comes up.
