A brief update
Just a quickie on Sunday night before a busy week. I’m not bursting with news, just wanted to pop in and update on three things.
First, regarding the situation I mentioned at the party a couple of weeks ago, on the last night — all was resolved, in the nicest possible way. It was handled reasonably, compassionately, and I even seem to have made a new friend over it. Rather than hold me in contempt, the parties involved were actually concerned and caring that I’d been upset, and we talked it out. I wish everyone could be this pleasant. So that’s a relief.
Second… I suppose I need to say something about the fact that I haven’t posted about Steve in several months. No, he did not leave the relationship. He always said he wouldn’t, and he was true to his word. However, we have not played for over four months, and the only thing I’m willing to give as an explanation at this time is that we have irreconcilable differences. It makes me sad, and I miss what we had. I’d been with him a little over four years — longer than I was with ST and even my beloved Danny. And I certainly miss having regular play. But honestly, my life is different these days. I’m spending a lot more hours working (which is a good thing), and I don’t have the play time I used to. And being busy with work keeps me productively occupied, rather than spending time ruminating online over the state of the country. So. I hope there will come a day when I have local play again. But for now, it’s not happening.
Finally, I had expressed frustration that I’d gotten so few pictures at the party, and one of my readers pleaded for me to take pictures of the lingerie I wore on Purple Night. So, Friday, I dusted off my old-school digital camera, set up the timer and took some shots. (I’m just not that good with phone selfies.) Hope you like ’em! 😉
Would you believe Target? Yeah, Victoria’s Secret has some really nice stuff, but good Christ, they’re expensive. And I’ve always liked Target. For those poor narrow-minded folks out there with misguided phobias who are boycotting Target over their bathroom policies — go right ahead! More for the rest of us!
Hope everyone is well out there. Please drop by and say hello!

Hi Erica,
I really hope that “irreconcilable differences” does not mean what I think it means.
Lovely purple ensemble. I loved Target and thought the merchandise was great, when the shelves were actually stocked (which wasn’t often). I’m sorry they pulled out of Canada so soon. They should have given the stores more time to work put the growing pains.
Hugs,
Hermione

Red — I hope so.
MrJ — ha, thanks. Taking one’s own photos is very much a hit or miss thing.

All seriousness aside (as Steve Allen used to say), I’m sorry to hear that you and Steve have had some problems. I hope those might be solved sometime.
But, truly, those are beautiful pictures, and even more so because I know a little of the heart of the woman in them!

I feel bad your play partnership with Steve has been altere. I know your had a strong bond and I can relate to that for past play partners of mine. But for a MULTITUDE of reasons, NONE of them were meant to remain in my life permanently. I’m fine with that.
Your outlook actually sounds like my perspective. Working ALOT and the ensuing stress which accompanies at least for me diminishes my playful tendencies and energy to muster excitement for a topic which requires SO much work to search, seek and add new play partners for personal fulfillment.

A. — finding and developing a true play partnership/friendship is indeed a huge investment of time and energy. I just don’t have either one of those things these days. I don’t like it, but it is what it is. Life is different now.
