Real life intrudes

I enjoy writing.  If you've suffered through my too-long posts, you're aware of that already, but hopefully found some reward in the content and graphic descriptions of our playtime.

I haven't posted anything for over six months now, though, because we simply haven't done much, and also because we've been so damn busy.  Real life intrudes.  Which, it occurred to me, might be worth making a post about.  (Actually, there's a topic on FetLife to which I just responded which is similar.  But the FetLife topics are different, as they're conversations, not essays.)

We, like many folks, are struggling with aging parents, including one with Alzheimer's.  We also have a young family that takes up a ton of time, although it's certainly rewarding.  And I am fortunate to have found and started a new job, but as with all jobs in this economy, it's got some downsides.  Then, to top it off, my wife is getting some low-grade medical issues she's getting worked out, but which leave her exhausted.

So, where does that leave us with D/s play?

Pretty much nowhere.

The spirits are willing, but the flesh is weak.  And damn tired.  And not very available.  {laughing}

So, what do we do?  Mostly nothing.  However, when we do have time for anything, we usually get the motors going with me whispering what I'd like to do to her in her ear.  I tell a good story, and we can't even put on a movie with my mother-in-law lurking about.

But the kids are back in school soon... and I'm working from home quite a bit.  And my in-laws will be gone soon.  Things are looking up.
