All packed

I am all packed. I fly out tomorrow.

Before I fly out, I need to take an antigen test. Rules have changed where it has to be taken within 24 hours. On my last trip, it was 72 hours. I'm getting this test done tomorrow morning before I head over to the airport.

My setup is different on this trip. I'm carrying a backpack with my laptop and charger instead of my rolling bag. I also and bringing a larger piece of luggage that I've had for nearly two decades. I will be saying goodbye to it (one zipper works out of the whole thing) and getting a new piece of luggage while in the States. I may also buy a smaller rolling bag that fits in the overhead compartment. I love my rolling bag, but it no longer fits up there. The airline has made this compartment a lot smaller now.

Here's hoping that everything goes smoothly!

Travel and friendship

I am all packed. I always feel like I have forgotten to pack something, though.

I am thrilled that I get to see a friend during this trip. I haven't seen her in a decade. I felt bad that I have not in touch with her as often as I would like.

It's good that she understands me. It's nice that our friendship remains strong and intact for nearly two decades!

Packed and ready for the weekend

I'm all packed for my mini staycation. I am going to a concert tonight. I am so looking forward to the next couple of days!

Have a happy, safe weekend, everyone!

The long weekend is here!

I am so glad that the long weekend is here. Friday was not the best day at work dealing with my annoying colleague who can't own up to her own actions.

I have completed packing for my mini staycation. I always feel like I am missing something, but I can always get what I am missing as I go.

I'm off to bed now. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Vacation starts now

I'm all packed and ready for my road trip. Let my vacation begin!

I'll write more once I am checked in and am not thinking about going to bed!

It's the Canada Day long weekend. To my fellow Canadians, have a safe and happy one!

Same routine, minus being done packing

I'm packed for the weekend. I'm early. It's because I am going out on Thursday night and won't have much time to get my last-minute packing done.

There isn't a whole lot happening here. It's the usual. I miss my guy tons. Work is still crazy. It'll be nice to unwind this weekend.

Staycation and hand pain update

I am all packed for my weekend with my guy. I am excited, although I feel like I have forgotten to pack something.

You know. The usual.

An update on my right hand pain... I have a feeling that it's my mouse and tons of clicking that has been causing the pain. I woke up on Thursday and was almost pain-free. I got to work and used my mouse a ton. I ended up with pain between my thumb and index finger.

The pain is there right now, but isn't as bad because I have been relaxing my hand. I may need to haul out my ergonomic mouse and see how that goes. Otherwise, I need to try an alternative to using a mouse.

Fun stuff. At least I am away from a mouse for a couple of days.

Don't forget the paddles!

I have packing for a weekend staycation down to a science these days. Considering that I was last on a staycation roughly three weeks ago, the routine is still relatively fresh in my head.

"Don't forget the paddles," my guy said to me.
"Yes, they are all packed," I replied.
"Good. I love that you bring more than one," he complimented.
"Variety is nice, although I know which implement you like the best," I said.

We both can't wait to spend some quality time together.

Staycation and anticipated spanking

I'm all packed for my mini staycation. I always feel like I am missing something. Luckily, if I am, it's usually something that I can pick up along the way.

I love my chats with my guy these days.

"We need adult emojis on Skype," my guy remarked.
"I agree. We need a spanking one," I replied.
"You need a spanking," he chimed in.
"But, I'm good!" I insisted.
"No, you're a bad girl. Why do you think that I spank you so often?" he asked me rhetorically.
"You're Mr. Meanie," I stated.
"Yup, that's my job," he replied.
"The paddle that you gifted me is effective! I was sore for days," I admitted.
"That makes me very happy," he noted.

I'll be sore again soon. We are both looking forward to it.

Plans and spanking checklist of important items

I like when plans and arrangements fall into place. It's nice.

I put in some hours at work on Saturday. I indicated to my manager that I would be cutting my day short on Wednesday, which is today. It gives me time to hit a bakery to get some vegan baked goods for a potluck snackfest at work this Thursday. I have one vegetarian in the group who cannot eat anything with egg in it. Often, I see her excluded from celebrations involving cake. So, I'm going to fix that problem for our gathering.

Wednesday is also when I check in to my hotel room. I like when I have enough points to do a mini staycation. My guy flies in on Thursday morning, so it makes sense to have a room for some quality time and relaxation.

I am all packed. I always feel like I am missing something, though.

Spanking implements? I have a leather paddle and a wooden ruler. He can also use his hand on my backside, which I prefer the most.

His favourite clothing items before they come off me: Black lacy panties and bra? Check. Short skirt? Yep. Low-cut sweater? Definitely.

To say that we are both looking forward to seeing each other is quite the understatement!
