Mrs Lion Comments (Page 3)

My idea of keeping Amazon boxes may be flawed. Sure, it gives us variety in the sizes and shapes of boxes available to us. However, it creates a giant mess in the living room. The boxes I’ve packed have nowhere to go. More correctly, I have to do a lot more maneuvering to make a simple stack of boxes. What I need to do is disconnect all wires and move speakers out of the way so there’s more room. It’s a giant game of Tetris.

A friend offered to come on Sunday to help pack. If things were more organized, I might have accepted. There’s too much going on right now. I need a staging area for things that will be donated. Where? There’s no room. I need a staging area for things that can go right to the new house as soon as we get the keys. Again, no room. It’s frustrating. Personally, I don’t mind going through a maze of boxes. Lion has a hard time both from a mess point of view and a vision point of view.

I’ll just be glad when we get the keys. Luckily, I think it will be a Friday so we can make a bunch of trips over the weekend to get things started.

Yesterday was punishment day. No, I didn’t spank Lion. I may not be able to be in move mode and spanking mode at the same time. Too many balls in the air. Of course, Lion will probably say there aren’t enough of his balls in the air. His balls are another matter. He can do his Edex shot whenever he wants to. There’s a brand new can of IcyHot spray that hasn’t been tested yet. The clothespins haven’t been packed yet. The rope is still available. So many options.

We went to take measurements for the new house yesterday. That’s assuming we wind up signing the lease. Lion doesn’t like some of the clauses and we’re not sure if they can be changed or deleted. I guess we’ll find out this week. In the meantime, I’ve gone back on the hunt for a house. I managed to pack a few boxes, but not much.

Last night, when Lion went to take his shower, I told him he could bring the Edex out. He seemed happy. After he came out, he said he thought we’d eat first. Then he fell asleep, and the rest is history. I didn’t spank him because I didn’t want it to get in the way of sex. Today is punishment day again and I feel like I should finally whomp him. It’s been a long time. And he did have an opportunity for sex last night. You snooze, you lose.

My shoulder is still hurting on and off. It was feeling pretty good until I had to get into a sweatshirt and then a jacket. Of course, lifting a box of books didn’t help either. I’ll have to just take some Tylenol and suck it up when I’m packing and moving. I know I still have to pack even if we don’t take the house we’re applying for now, but I’d feel more motivated if we had a place locked in.

Our cold weather is over. I think. It’s in the 30s today although it did go down below 20 last night. The little snow we got shows no sign of melting. Still, we are better off than most of the country. We normally get one snowstorm a year. I hope that was it. We don’t need to be moving in a storm.

We have a high wind advisory, which apparently replaces the plain old wind advisory from yesterday. It has been windy and cold. Last night it went down to 15^o F. For us, that’s cold. That’s ridiculously cold. Our normal winter temperatures have us in the 40s during the day and not much colder at night because the clouds usually hang around and act as a blanket. I decided to stay inside and pack today. Unfortunately, I just realized the packing paper is in the basement, which is only accessible from outside. I guess I’ll be bundling up in a little bit.

We’ve both been pretty stressed out about the whole moving process. It was bad enough looking for a house. Lion has been arguing about the lease for a day or two. In one spot, it says that if the refrigerator dies, they won’t replace it because it’s a “convenience item”. Excuse me? If I have to buy a new one on my own, I’m taking it with me when I move. What if I think it’s a convenience to the owner that I’m renting the house? I am, after all, making sure no one breaks in or damages it. I shouldn’t have to replace last month’s rent with new rent.

We also had a mover stop by to do an estimate. Is it possible it should cost almost three months’ rent to move us? I know we have a lot of crap, but it shouldn’t be that much. Lion says we can move some of the boxes and lighter things ourselves with a U-Haul to keep costs down. Funny. That’s sort of what I suggested before we got the quote. It’s better because it’s his idea.

Everything going on has thrown our schedule off. Lion has been busy with moving stuff, so his shower has been later. And then we’re hungry, so dinner comes next. We haven’t managed to squeeze in spanking or a blow job. I do have a three-day weekend. We’re going to the new house tomorrow to take some measurements. There’s still plenty of time for fun.

On Friday, I set up some appointments to tour a few houses. Well, I tried to set them up. Lion didn’t like one of them. No one responded to one request. So we had two houses to look at. I wish people would take pictures of what the house looks like now. I don’t want the bright sunny day right after they’ve done a ton of landscaping. I want to know what I’m walking into today. There are a few listings that mention the replacement of the purple carpet and repainting the walls to more neutral colors. Until I read those notes, I definitely didn’t want to tour that house. Who has purple carpets? I like purple, but man, do a wall or something else easily changeable.

Anyway, the first house had a very overgrown backyard. We would have lost the dog the first time she went out there. The house was sort of weird, too. It was a pass from us, but there were other people looking at it. I got a message about an hour after we left that the house had been rented. The second house was in a development. We don’t normally like developments. The houses are squished together. It can get noisy when all the kids are playing. To my surprise, Lion liked it. I did, too. We drove off to explore the area a little.

When we stopped to see what other houses might be available in the area, Lion started the application process. It’s worth mentioning that this house has been on the market for a long time. Lion theorized it was because the backyard is so small. There’s no room for kids to play or to have a barbecue with friends. We just need a patch of grass for the dog to use, and I was happy I wouldn’t have to mow a lot. When he started the application, it said the house was no longer available. Then it was. I couldn’t find it on any listing site anymore. He did his part of the application and sent me a link to do my part. When we got home, he called, and they said it was rented. However, I was still able to do my part of the application. At this point, we don’t know what’s going on. It’s torture to wait until Monday to find out.

No, I still haven’t spanked Lion. One of those days, his shoulder was hurting. Yesterday was taken up by house hunting and application completing. Today, we’re supposed to go out to see if there’s a house nearby worth looking at. We can’t find a listing, but an acquaintance said there’s a For Rent sign in front of it. It’s worth checking out, but it will probably be out of our price range.

Maybe, and I’m not promising anything, I’ll spank him today. I know tomorrow is punishment day, but I don’t dare purposely push it off again. If I concentrate really hard, I may remember and feel up to doing it. Of course, his shoulder has to cooperate, too.
