I've been having an up and down day today. I woke up this morning, earlier than expected, so that I could greet the beginning of the week with open arms and a made-up face. I got some bad news about the new lease on my apartment - it will be an extra $100 per month because I'm only signing it for six months (because Bear and I will be moving for law/veterinary school around August). Then my daughter and I cleaned her room and made it look absolutely picturesque. I still have a cold, and my nose is stuffy, raw and red.

I thought some more about having a D/s relationship (we go back and forth on it) and realized that maybe the drama and "obvious" nature isn't necessarily something I want. Maybe what I need is something like a non-stated D/s style relationship with the understanding that he is the man and is in charge. My opinion is valued and respected, my body is his, my mind is something to be praised for, and we love each other. What could be better than that?

Enjoy one of my favorite songs now - it describes me to a tee. And, it was featured at the end of Wedding Crashers!
