When our server went down, it took out our email too. A few days later, Lion got it up and running under another website. Since I’ve gone back to work, I dutifully sign into my email and wait for emails from Lion. There haven’t been any.

It’s true that the rules were suspended so he’s not obligated to send me an email before noon every day. It’s also true that he’s been in pain and/or under the influence of narcotics. I know there are times he has no idea what day it is. The thing is, I miss those emails. That might be the next rule that gets reinstated.

I’ve also tried texting Lion a few times while I’m at work or in the store. No answer. Again, he may be sleeping, drugged, or not near his phone. Part of me understands that. Part of me feels a little neglected.

I really don’t mind taking care of Lion. He hasn’t made any huge demands on me. But I am looking forward to things getting back to normal, especially in the we’re-not-together-it-would-be-nice-to-hear-from-you sense. The first email usually says we love each other. The rest tend to deal with how the day is going or what’s for dinner, but the underlying message is I’m thinking about you. It’s nice to know someone is thinking about you.

I’m actually surprised how much I miss Lion’s emails. And I’m not blaming him for not writing. We’re together more often than not lately. I love that. Maybe that’s why I miss the communication so much when we’re apart.

I’m sorry for the delay posting. It has been painful to use my right arm, even for small tasks like typing. Right now it is feeling better. I can’t attempt to restore our pages and posts until later today. There’s an issue with our security certificate. It was good to see Mrs. Lion posting again. I’m hoping things get back to normal soon.

We’ve had our shares of misunderstandings. For example, I asked why Mrs. Lion was using the new car every day. She had never been willing to drive any of my previous purchases. I grumbled a bit that it will be old before I can get behind the wheel. I didn’t mean that I didn’t want her to use it. It was just an idle grumble brought on with my frustration at being disabled. It had nothing to do with how I felt about her driving it. I’m fine if she wants to use it every day.

On Saturday, her ex-husband called. Apparently, he would rather visit us this summer. We had discussed going to a wonderful resort. I grumbled at the news. I am worried that I still won’t have that much use of my right arm until fall. Anything that adds complication and activity to my life gets a grumble right now. If they want to visit, I’m fine with it. At this point, it makes more sense for them to come here. A cross-country flight and adapting to a hotel room would be far more difficult for me than being based here at home.

My rules are back in effect. More than my arm will be sore if I’m not careful. I am horny again; at least on and off. I was interested to read in her post yesterday that Mrs Lion won’t consider oral attention if I am furry.I’m never really furry, but there can be some growth on my balls and around the base of my penis. She never expressed any strong feelings about the state of the landscaping before.

She does the shaving. But based on her post, it sounds like I need to be sure to remind her to do it. The penalty for not convincing her to keep me hairless is no oral attention until the hair is gone again. Interesting. Of course she can just shave me if she wants to use her mouth.

She didn’t promise that I would get her mouth even if there is no hair, but she clearly said that there is no chance if I display any growth. I suppose it’s fair that I own keeping track of my foliage. I adore her mouth on me. I love my balls licked too. It’s up to me to be sure I am properly groomed.

I have missed our stricter FLR. I think Mrs. Lion has too. That’s a bit surprising to me. I thought she has been my disciplining wife just because it pleases me. I’m sure that’s still largely the case, but she is evolving. She is coming up with her own ideas. This latest one is a complete surprise to me. More than that, it makes perfect sense.

She also mentioned that I am still interrupting her. Yup, looks like I will have more than a sore shoulder from now on.

 

Yesterday I mowed the lawn with a push mower. It took a few hours. Part of it hadn’t been mowed for a while so that was slow going, but the other parts had been mowed a few weeks ago. As with the garbage cans the other day, I noticed that I was having an easier time walking. Chalk one up for losing weight, although my weight has stayed the same for a while. I guess it took that long for my brain to realize walking should be easier with thirty fewer pounds. By bedtime I was ready for sleep.

Lion had other ideas. He announced at somewhere around 11 that he was horny. Granted, he’d slept most of the evening so his notion of having to snuggle/have sex early was moot. I was not about to humor him, however. I may not have been falling asleep, but I was not in the mood to give him the love he was after. Was this mean? Should I have struck while the weenie was hot? Perhaps. I assume the weenie will be hot again today sometime.

Yesterday was lawn mowing day; today is Lion mowing day. He hasn’t been manscaped in quite a few weeks. He looks like he has saplings growing at the base of a mighty oak. (Sorry. I couldn’t resist.) But his hair is quite long. I’m not sure we’ll be able to take care of the back yard, but his front yard is certainly doable. If I’m going to be doing any oral administrations on my weenie, I should get rid of the shrubbery.

I’ve been trying to figure out when to start Lion’s rules back up. I thought he was well on the way to recovery a few days ago, but then the pain started in again. He just asked yesterday if he was easier to live with than a few days ago. I haven’t noticed any difference. There have only been a handful of times that he’s been anywhere near demanding. He’s been snarky a few times, like when he basically told me he didn’t want me driving his car anymore and when he said he didn’t want to deal with my family coming to visit in the summer, but those are things he might say even without pain or frustration.

I think I can safely add the eating rule back in. There’s no reason he should be ravenous enough not to wait for me to eat or give him permission to eat. He’s still a little too clumsy to avoid dropping food on himself. He tends to interrupt me just as much with or without the rule, so that’s back in. He’s been reminding me of punishment day even though it hasn’t been used in a while. I guess we’ll start off with the easy ones and see how it goes. Depending on his situation at the time (how much pain, how steady he is on his feet, etc.), I’ll decide what his punishment will be.

Lion wanted to get back to normal. I think he wanted to start with sex, but he’ll have to live with the rules being the first thing. Poor boy.

Lion just told me I can write a post if I want to, so here I am. I have to say, it’s a completely different setup than we had before and maybe I can make it more similar in setup, but for the moment this is just all too weird.

I’m not entirely sure I have anything of substance to say even after this long break. I guess the only news, other than the server crashing, is that Lion is still in quite a bit of pain. We’re trying to determine if it’s because he/we haven’t been following through with his physical therapy. He’s been out of his sling more often than not so I assumed he was moving his arm enough to offset the lack of actual therapy movement. But then it started hurting worse. Maybe it’s because he’s been out of the sling more than he should have been. Maybe he should have been using ice more often. Maybe he should have gone to Hawaii for recovery. Maybe if I had dyed my hair red it would have been better. Every guess seems just as unlikely and likely as the next.

Lion even considered not bringing the blog back. I’m not a computer person, so I don’t understand how difficult it is to keep a blog up and running. Sometimes I think it’s a hassle to come up with a post every day. Is it more of a hassle to keep the blog running? Don’t you just set it up and let it go? Like a self-driving car? I have no idea. Anyway, ultimately he decided that the blog helps us, and maybe other people too, so he got it set up through Word Press itself. Restoring previous posts takes more time, but he’s trying.

Since he’s been in more pain, and still sleeping quite a bit, we haven’t done much even along the lines of snuggling. In his more lucid moments, he wants to jump right back in with both feet. Obviously it’s not the feet that are the problem. If his shoulder hurts, he takes pain meds. If he takes pain meds, he’s not interested in sex. That may be incorrect. He may be interested in sex; he just can’t do anything about it. He’s worried the longer we wait, the greater the possibility that we won’t return to business as usual. I won’t let that happen. I just need to be sure he’s ready to return to business as usual. Moving too quickly could be detrimental to his recovery. So we wait.

I think, and maybe I’m reading too much into it, that the fact that he put in the effort to get the blog back up is a good sign. He could have just stayed in bed and snoozed. Instead, he joined the world of the living for a few hours. He sat at his desk and took the first steps toward remaining vertical and getting back to work. And then the pain kicked in and he went back to bed. Oh well. Baby steps.
