Duh.
Anyone notice that I can't spell for shit?
Sometimes when I am feeling sad and blue and so sorry for myself, it's easy to forget that I'm really fucking funny. Ok ok there are three people in my life who are funnier than I am, so around them, I'm just funny. But around normal humans, I'm a laugh riot. I'm a terrible joke teller. I don't tell funny. I am funny. Especially compared to a lot of women, who tend to take themselves more seriously than men do. I don't take myself seriously at all. I am the funniest joke I know. My crazy family is the craziest you'll hear about. My family trauma is the most traumatic. I've been through the wringer growing up and it would make you shake your head in wonder that I'm not eating rocks or fucking pork chop sandwiches. But no one will laugh harder about it than I will. I'm a bundle of conflicting nerves. My stubborness is epic. I'm petulant and cranky. In fact, that's the way I am mostly these days. When I go out, though, I get to bend that funny bone. I hope that some of that is lurking in these posts. Probably not. I'm an asshole. You hate me.
No sex.
In no particular order:
Would you rather have no sex or bad sex? No really, I'm curious. This is my current situation.
I'm back to that feeling of dreading the next day. It seems so little actually good happens. I am really really done hoisting this kid around all day. I can guess that this desolate feeling is probably borne of my depression, and wonder if I should increase my antidepressant. Also, I'm spending a lot of time with someone who, essentially, I don't like (husband). I guess I should suck it up and shut up since this is, after all, my choice, to put my son's happiness before my own.
She swallows the last of her by-now warm cocktail. His glass is empty too.
Hey you know that post below this one? The one about treading all that water and chilling out?
Around here there's a new development. Nothing drastic. I've told my husband, when he leaves the house in the morning, to hide my keyboard and his laptop. This is because this had become my life:
My hair is tousled and bent waves from having slept on it when it was wet. It falls to my shoulders. I've been sleeping well and I look it, no bags under my eyes. My cotton pajama bottoms sit a little high on my hips because they have an elastic waist. I pull them down a little and can feel my hip bone. I've lost a little weight. My long-sleeved cotton t-shirt is kind of klingy. It's white. Looking in the mirror, I admire my breasts, their fullness and roundness. My nipples are hard. They look perfect. How often do I think that? Hardly ever. Maybe only in the freshness of the morning, when my mind is clearing from its innocent dreams and not yet consumed by self. My skin feels softer. I look younger. I don't have a costume for the day yet (mother, wife) and I'm just myself, looking. This unabashed moment won't last. At least it's here for now, fleeting as it is.
It's been longer than usual since we've seen each other. The time since our last fucking is counted in weeks now, not days. We're trying to break things off.

I've never come during oral sex.
We were lost for most of two days. I could only be reached on my cell phone. He didn't have a phone or email, and no one knew he was in town.
We've started with a new marriage counselor. I really like her. I was worried that we would need someone more clinical than an LCSW, but she has an edge, unlike a the touchy-feely group I'm used to. Over two sessions she's impressed me more than once with her perceptiveness. She's already said that we'll see her individually, but that we're not to tell her secrets we haven't told each other. So I guess I'm somewhat censored. Probably the next step will be to get an individual referral so I can blab blab blab to someone.
After a bit of thought, I've decided to rename this blog. Do Me Queen felt funny and clever at first, but I've thought more and more that it's too glib for what I want to talk about.
Found this passage as I was reading, exactly what I've been thinking about...
We stood on the corner in the mist. The city streets were slick and bright. I heard cars swish past behind me as I faced him.
Oh.thank.you.Gods of Cable.

I asked him to write a description of what it is like to get head from me, because it is a thing we both love. And, well, I'm a little vain about it.
