Yesterday I drove all four hours home. Lion offered to drive, but I was doing fine so I kept going. On some of the longer trips he drives about halfway because, let’s face it, highway driving can be a big snore. Later in the afternoon Lion took a cat nap. I watched him sleep. He looks so cute when he’s softly snoring away. A little later it was my turn for a nap. And, of course, he had his Jeopardy nap.

I finally sat down and wrote out some Good Lion coupons. One was for deleting one punishment from his list. I knew he needed that coupon last night because it was 8:30 when I handed it to him and he hadn’t reminded me that last night was punishment night. Yeah. I probably cheated with that one, but I did give him one for his choice of orgasm on his scheduled night. And he got two for restrained play of his choice. He liked them all and immediately redeemed the punishment one. He had forgotten what day of the week it was and didn’t remember until I’d pointed it out to him. Oopsy.

When I asked for the Lion weather report he said he was pretty horny. What a pleasant surprise! I like having a horny Lion. I was able to successfully edge him a few times. Then I decided, since he was horny, he should have a real orgasm. Not the ruined orgasms that I’ve been giving him by accident. A full orgasm. I probably should have teased him a little more, but I didn’t want to risk going too far before I was ready to go all the way. I’m pretty sure it was a surprise to him. It wasn’t his scheduled night, but I figured with everything that’s been going on, I had to strike while the Lion was horny. And he doesn’t know when his scheduled night is anyway.

The wild Lion has been successfully captured and re-caged. Maybe tonight I will unlock him again and tend to his manscaping. It’s been quite a while since I’ve done it. He’s pretty unkempt. He doesn’t like it that way. I tease him that I will have to get out the hedge clippers. I think it’s ironic that he likes me hairy and himself bare. Many men prefer their wives/girlfriends bare and wouldn’t dream of manscaping. I don’t mind if Lion is hairy or bare. I’m just glad he doesn’t expect me to go through all the trouble of making myself bare for him.

Lion hasn’t been very horny. We’ve both been tired. Last night we tried to play but Lion wasn’t really into it. He asked if we could try again later. Of course! He’d forgotten to write a post for today so he did that. Then he was ready for more.

This time he got excited. But when I went to edge him I went a bit too far again. Ruined orgasm. Damn! I’m out of practice. Or I’ve lost my touch. The obvious answer is to go back to the every night edging. However, with the state of our finances, nightly edging seems like more added pressure. We’ll just continue on playing it by ear for now. Things will work out eventually. My focus is on Lion. Whatever he needs, I’m here.

Today we’re heading home. I still need to give Lion some Good Lion coupons. Even though this weekend was not as awkward for him as I anticipated, he still deserves a reward for it. I have four hours of driving to figure out a good one.

I’m not sleeping well again. Last night I had a dream that my former boss begged me to come back to work because, financial problems or not, she needed me. Clearly, money is an issue that is invading my sleep.

During the day, I am enjoying spending time with my daughter. She has grown up into a very smart teenager. I don’t understand the way high school works anymore. Four classes a semester? Sounds like college to me. Anyway, she has a 4.0 average and she’s got lots of friends, so she’s doing well. That’s what matters.

It was a long day, but when we got into bed last night, Lion said he was excited to try out the restraints. Not last night, of course, because we were both very tired. I asked if he was horny and he said not really, but maybe that spark is still there. Of course it is. No matter how often he refers to himself as a broken Lion, I know the horniness is still in there, just below the surface. It may be hiding behind the worry right now, but he’s not broken.

Lion is wild again this trip. It’s just easier all ways around. More comfortable, easier to pee, I don’t have to unlock him to play, etc. And he’s under constant supervision, although of course he doesn’t need to be. Lion wouldn’t cheat even if he was horny.

Today we are going to explore the area. Never know what you’ll find on a Lion adventure.

I was very surprised when Lion said he wanted to come with me to see my daughter. As he said, he’s only seen her a few times and he’s never met my ex. At the very least it will be an uncomfortable weekend for him. I appreciate his support.

We’re definitely going through a tough time right now. I’m glad we have each other. There nothing we wouldn’t do for each other. No matter how bad it gets we’ll be together. It’s what we do.

I will continue to ask Lion if he wants to play each night. He can tell me no every night. I will still ask. I’m not giving up. Not that he is either. It’s just difficult to be interested in sex when the world is falling down around you. I’m doing what I can to help. It’s what I do.

Tomorrow morning we’ll set off on another adventure together. I love going on adventures with my best friend.
