I was really tired yesterday. I still am today. I haven’t been sleeping well. I’m not sure if it’s the bed, the heat, or fighting for the covers. Lion doesn’t steal the covers. He just rolls over and takes them with him.

I even forgot to do Lion’s maintenance spanking. He wasn’t silly enough to remind me. That’s not his job. He reminded me about punishment day. After that it’s up to me to remember. Of course, I can do a maintenance spanking any time I want.

Aside from being tired, I just felt off. I wasn’t really hungry at dinner and when Lion was loopy around bedtime it sort of annoyed me. He gets very chatty and clingy when he’s loopy. Usually he’s just funny. He says some weird things and falls asleep mid-sentence.

Assuming I can stay awake, or if I take a lot more narcoleptic naps, I will do Lion’s maintenance spanking later. We have to go out to upload our posts. If we get back with enough time before dinner, I can do it then. That way he’ll be sitting on red hot buns through dinner.
In his loopiness, Lion said he was hard yesterday morning. He wasn’t last night but that’s understandable. He was loopy and that never translates to horny. Perhaps tonight he’ll be more in the mood. I hope we both will.

Our 4th of July started out quietly. Many businesses were closed in the very small town near the campground. We ate lunch in town and uploaded our posts. Then we went back to the camper and snoozed while watching TV. Lion hadn’t slept very well the night before and I’ve just been tired for days.

We had an American-as-apple-pie dinner of hamburgers, potato salad, macaroni salad and cole slaw. After dinner, we watched some TV and waited for the fireworks show. About 9 o’clock I asked Lion if he’d rather watch fireworks or make some of our own. He wisely chose to make fireworks of our own.

When he took a shower he attempted to de-fur himself. He nicked his scrotum in a few places. That meant I couldn’t use Icy Hot on him or I might have zinged those spots. I didn’t feel comfortable tying his balls either. I did, however, swat his balls a bit. Just with my hands. I told him I don’t need special equipment to make his balls sting.

I decided Lion needed some oral attention. Despite the limited room in the camper for playing, I prefer it for oral sex. At home the footboard cuts into my legs. In the camper there’s no footboard and I can gain leverage by putting my feet on the dresser. Lion doesn’t complain in either case.

I was going to edge him and leave it at that. I did edge him a few times. But then I decided I’d promised him fireworks. He had a nice orgasm. We were also done in plenty of time to watch the local fireworks show.

Today we’ll go off exploring. It’s a beautiful sunny day with just a few clouds in the sky. Perfect vacation weather.

We arrived with no muss and no fuss. There was very little traffic. Setting up was not difficult. We both snoozed a bit before we went out to find food.

Four years ago, when we first discovered this area, our first dinner out was at a Mexican restaurant. We’ve kept that tradition ever since. Lion made it most of the way through dinner without trouble but then spilled food on his shirt. Uh oh.

I hadn’t given him his maintenance spanking on Monday night so I deferred it to last night. Lion was not happy about being spanked. He was really not happy in the middle of it. He kept trying to move away. I asked him if he thought I wouldn’t follow him across the bed to keep spanking him. He told me he had enough. But it’s not up to him. I didn’t say he’d had enough. I kept going. He kept moving.

I know. I know. I should have started over with the punishment. The best way to cure him of his wiggling and insistence that I should stop is by starting over. Eventually he’ll learn. But the thing is, I get tired of hitting him. My arm strength is not as good as it should be. That’s one of the reasons we’re doing maintenance spanking.

In the end, in Lion’s end, he might have been sore but he wasn’t red. The slight rosiness didn’t even last until he got off the bed. He says his butt is notorious for not getting or staying red. I guess it’s a good thing for him that I don’t rely solely on how red his tushy is to know when I’m done.

It was late before I tried to play with him. We were both tired and I wasn’t really even going to try. But when we snuggled he responded fairly quickly. It was short lived though. He’d dropped the remote and the TV was distracting. By the time he picked it up it was too late. After the fireworks we’ll try for some fireworks of our own.

I had hoped to give Lion a maintenance spanking last night and edge him. But we went out to dinner, stopped by the grocery store for last minute items and got fuel for the truck, and then it was already late. Our guests stopped by for one last goodbye. And I was tired. I can try for tonight but I know we’ll be tired again from driving.

It’s not like we won’t have time for maintenance spankings and play. We’ll be gone a week. Lion loves to drive around randomly but I’m hoping we’ll just hang out for a day or so. If we do then we won’t be so tired and maybe more likely to have the energy to play.

While the rest of the country is in a heat wave, we remain relatively cool around Seattle. Our destination is generally warmer. The Cascade mountains form a sort of barrier for the cooler air. Eastern Washington is technically a desert. We head east for most of our trips to take advantage of that heat. It’s also very beautiful.

By the time this post publishes we should be very near our campsite. We’ll set up the camper and, if past trips are any indication, head out for dinner very shortly after arrival.

Lion likes to keep moving. I like to relax a little. I’m hoping we can find a compromise this trip.
