There are times I wish I had a sex drive. Generally I don’t care. But I’d like to have something to compare to Lion’s sex drive. Maybe I’d just like to be in his brain for a while to understand why he needs sex so badly. I know there’s a difference between men and women in terms of sex drives. Even at my horniest times, I didn’t often masturbate.

Here’s my problem: We decided to do Unlocktober and agreed to orgasms every other day. That, in itself, is not the problem. The problem is that I have the monumental task of unpacking still ongoing. We’ve thrown in some electrical wiring and putting things together and mounting a towel rack, etc. that seem to take far longer than they need to. I’m finding this whole process to be exhausting. I’m achy and nearing the end of my rope. However, we agreed to Unlocktober and orgasms every other day and Lion is a very sexual animal and I feel like I’m letting him down if I beg off giving him orgasms. On the other hand, I feel like I’m letting him down by not unpacking as fast as I think I should be unpacking.

What I do know is that I’m constantly tired, I’ve had an on-again-off-again headache for about a week and a half, and I get snippy when Lion reminds me off things that still need to be done. As I was giving him his hand job last night, I wondered how long it would be before he reminds me he needs to be waxed. He does, but that’s not on the urgent end of my list. Actually, my list goes something like this: get the house unpacked enough to be livable, a day off for me, sex for Lion, and then a lot of chores including waxing Lion.

I’ve been lusting after a day off for me for about a month. I mean a true day off. No chores. No decisions. Put me in a bubble and do not disturb until 24 hours have elapsed. Me time. Of course it doesn’t have to be that strict. I just want a day that I don’t have to do anything pressing. No unpacking. No rewiring the bathroom. I just want to vegetate for the better part of a day. Maybe it will be a Sunday watching every football game available.

It’s quite possible that my day off could somehow equate to Lion’s sex drive. Am I horny for one?

[Lion — She’s right. Mrs. Lion has been feeling enormous amounts of pressure brought on by the overwhelming amount of work that needs to be done. It hasn’t been all work, however. Mrs. Lion takes frequent breaks that I hope helps her recharge. However, I think that each time she sits down and plays on her iPad, she feels guilty that she’s not doing something more “useful”. Yesterday, we got quite a bit done. I thought that it went well. However, Mrs. Lion wanted to do a few other things that she didn’t get to. I don’t see any problem with that. We need to make steady progress, but we have no deadline to get each item completed.

Unlocktober is an invention of mine and we don’t have to actually follow my rules. It may be that this isn’t the year for it. I’m okay if we don’t try to play that game. Yes I’m a sexual creature. I love the attention I’m getting. I also understand that my sweet lioness needs time to herself.]
