A View from the Floor

…ponderings from a submissive’s perspective

Tainted Love

Ok. That title has absolutely nothing to do with my life or this post. LOL. The song is playing on MTV at the moment and my fingers typed it on their own.

Been quiet - very quiet - lately. I guess that’s cuz life is quiet.

We’re struggling with money and it’s got me down.

Thankfully our relationship isn’t being much effected by it. Things are still just sort of smooth sailing in the D/s arena, both of us forgiving easily any snappish or odd behavior because we totally understand the stress the other is under.

I’ve been pretty focused on my diet and exercise program lately.

I joined Sparks people and I’m working really hard on tracking calories and learning what a portion size looks like - and how many portions of what kinds of food I can eat every day and actually feel and be healthy.

I continue with the daily yoga - though I don’t know if I’ve even mentioned that here - and I’m improving every week.

I can now touch my toes fairly easily!

And attempting to do it with Taylor in the house some days is a true test of submission.

It never fails that he either calls me from outside or the basement to interrupt me - or starts talking and pointing stupid video clips out to me while I”m trying to focus on breath and position.

The other day I even decided I deserved “slave of the day” award because he interrupted me SIX times during one forty minute session even though I’d, nicely, requested he not call me for an hour so I could get it done. So, yes, he knew what I was doing and called that many times anyhow. I held my tongue, held my sighs, gritted my teeth and patiently listened to the”updates” he HAD to give me on gopher holes or motorcycle parts or something. Sure, he was ruining my yoga but…

No sense both of us being buttheads, right? I listened, responded sweetly, and went back to yoga…  cursing him soundly in my head as a sort of mantra. Lol.

And that, my friends, is about it.

Perhaps the deep thought bug will bite me soon but for now….

Life is quiet.

i hope it is fine to post this website here for you to peek at. It is a group for submissives. It is a very supportive group that i belong to. It is filled with healthy tips and recipes. The main reason that i like it, is you can talk freely about the lifestyle, because we are all in it.
i also belong to sparks and it really helps me to keep track of my calorie intake.
You are doing a wonderful job on your site; i am glad that i have found it.

Thanks rosalee… I”m gonna check it out as soon as I have a bit of spare time.

Luna… I joined your sparks team!

M… Thanks for the encouragement. When I do the yoga at home I try very hard to make sure no one is home and I kennel up the dogs so I don’t squish ‘em. Lol. But, yeah, sometimes it doesn’t feel very relaxing and yoga-ish. Not ideal, by any means, but even when it’s “bad” yoga at least I get the stretch out of it if not the peace of mind. No worries on the repeat comments. It happens all the time. A glitch with sensualwriter but since it’s the only one I’ve found so far I just deal with it. :)

Y’all ought to add me over on Sparks. My username there is c.arrieanne. :)
