A Good Day … Wouldn’t a pow [smack on the butt] do good now?
This week I completed a long three day assignment that was pretty complex and can hardly believe that I’ve gotten the whole thing written and my portion wrapped up in just one 4th day. Of course there are two levels of review to go through before I can close the book altogether, but hey, for at least a day in my life, I’m up to date.
Ahhhhhhh …. enjoying the moment.
I feel well again today too. First time since I got my blood sugars under control in March, before I got swine flu.
I haven’t been sleeping well since then … After waking up at 1 AM and giving up and staying up all the rest of the wee morning hours then dragging through work all day Monday, I was so whipped that I crashed as soon as I got home, so guess what, I was up again at 1 AM Tuesday. I couldn’t get back to sleep, so I gave up again, only this time I got up and went to work at 5 AM. I had things to do that going in that early actually made easier to accomplish so there was a bit of a blessing in that. Thank goodness for the sleep gods on Tuesday evening. I crashed again shortly after I got home, this time when I woke up just before midnight, I went pee & miraculously fell back into deep sleep almost as soon as I crawled back to bed. I surfaced again at 5 am, watched news, and hit work again at 7:30. Wednesday was kind of long, but since my body seemed to want sleep early I found myself under the covers and asleep before 10 pm (hours later than the previous two days, but as soon as my spirit moved me), so when 5 am came around again today, I was up, rested and ready to go. I watched TV, cuddled my kitties and waited for my 6:50 alarm. I got to my office too early (I don’t have a code to disable the security alarm … for clarification, my job assignments - the ones I can go to early - are all field assignments that are out of my office) so I went to breakfast, came back and got to my desk fifteen minutes early. 5:03 pm - my reports were done and I was picking up to go home. I can’t remember the last time I was able to close out my work and leave almost exactly on time in the whole time I’ve been in this job.
Again, sigh….. ahhhhhhhh … just a bit of a revel. It’ll probably be a long time before I can say this again, but hey, today is today, and it’s been a good day.
Only one thing would make it a “best day” and that would be if it could close with a bit of an ‘edgy-good-girl-but-watch-it’ spanking.
Ever want/get/give one of those kinds of spankings? A spanking that’s desired and welcomed, but just a bit harder and more than she/he was expecting because out there lingers a history of breaching the expectations that were met this time?
I have to confess that I’ve both wanted/appreciated it, and felt it was unfair/begrudged the times when I was gifted with one of those kind of spankings. To analyze the why’s of my own different reactions is a whole new post…. Ahhhh inspiration again…
p.s. (for you young’uns) the phrase “wouldn’t a pow go good now?” comes from a 1960’s end of the day or after stress brand name ‘Dow’ beer commercial that used the catch phrase “wouldn’t a Dow go good now?”

Yes I did today! John asked for a spanking; both of us had been quite busy for a few days(nothing compared with your busy days however). He got what he needed and a bit more because he behaved naughty while otk! Smiles.
