He always wants it! Until I get interested.
I am somewhere in peri menopause. Very irregular smoothies, dry as a desert and just not interested between hot flashes and mood swings.
Yes. Feel sorry for my family and a prayer probably wouldn't hurt either.
Today he woke up ready for action but I'm just not frisky until I've had my cup of earl grey.
Around lunch time I started getting interested but Dragon didn't look so good. He was passing another kidney stone and thought it would be like the others. Uncomfortable but manageable.
Nope.
Off to the ER. Turns out it is a very large stone that is not likely to pass on its own and the other kidney has an even larger stone.
Fun stuff.
So. No sex for me. Pain meds and probably another trip to the doctor. Blag

Sharing Food
Monday nights are hectic. Dragon gets off work and meets me in a parking lot in the city. I have to wait several hours while the kids are in class. We get any shopping done that won't wait and grab something to eat. Fast and cheap usually.
We were discussing where to go and I mentioned a little chicken place that has a plate we usually share. It is a LOT of food. Less than two orders but I don't eat much. Two fingers, a few fries and the coleslaw. We both get plenty to eat.
The parking lot was packed and the drive in was ridiculous.
Plan B.
At burger joint near by we like to order the different meals. Chicken sandwich with onion rings and a hamburger with fries. We split the meals between us.
Nothing says I love you like sharing food.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I have much to be thankful for this year.
Dragon is finally working a full time job.
We have insurance other than tricare
Dragon is back in school
My 20 year old is starting her college years.
My oldest has plans to become a teacher
All my kids, my granddaughter and my oldest daughter's boyfriend are under one roof!
Dragon's PTSD is under control. He will never be back to where he was before the military but I'll take what I can get.
Happy Thanksgiving fellow bloggers!!!
What are you thankful for?

Food!
Yes, I said food.
For breakfast I choose my food. Oatmeal, grits or cold cereal. Lunch is usually fruit. Only dinner really resembles something most people would call a meal and every night I get sick.
I have kept a food journal to figure out what is causing the problem.
No luck. It almost seems random.
I thought so until I figured out the difference. I don't eat meat the other two meals of the day. When I do, I get sick.
After Thanksgiving and the first of the month I am going to go off meat for a little while. It is the only way to see if that is what is causing the problem.
Left on my own I only eat meat once or twice a week. It sounds like a hardship but it really isn't. I can do this.
I hope I figure this out. I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

A Flirt
Dragon had been dealing with a major plumbing disaster. A simple $5 5 minute fix turned into a $200 all day fiasco. Don't ever put CPVC in a house. Not smart.
Dragon's poor hands were beat up by the end of the day. He took off his wedding band and asked me to put it away. I put it in the safest place for something so important to both of us.
The next day her went to work. One of his coworkers started flirting with him. She didn't take his usual "I'm not interested" signals. He had to tell her straight up that he is not available. She assumed that our marriage was in trouble when he didn't have his ring.
Did she ever get the wrong impression!
My Dragon was kind and let her know that we are still very much together. Who knew that someone would take something so small so seriously? It is important to both of us but the rings can spend some time put away.
He put his ring back on as soon as he got home from work. No more confused coworkers we hope!

His Rules
Something I didn't accept when we first started practicing Domestic Discipline is that he is totally in charge. Yes, I have my safe words. Those can stop even see well deserved punishment immediately. But he is still the one in charge. He makes the rules, not me.
The basic framework is built on the 5 Ds. We don't really think about them. They are so basic that we don't need to. There are only two rules that are specific. No cussing and seatbelt use.
The cussing rule came after a hard deployment. The seatbelt rule came up during a very nasty winter. That is the rule that usually gets me in trouble. If the warning ding happens in a parking lot, I'm okay. But if I get caught on the highway nothing can get me out of the paddling.
I broke the second rule last night. Only a warning from Dragon kept me out of serious trouble. I got off with a crooked smile and a stern lecture. My bottom is thankful.

Beating Depression
I can't fight with my health. There are times that my body just says enough. That is when I fall into a funk. It is very hard to pull myself out of it but I have to live!
I am one of those odd people that actually likes working out. Endless running, walking or aerobics isn't my thing. My lungs say nope. Once my pulse rate hits a certain bpm, I'm done.
Right now my endurance and energy levels are very low. I'm starting over..... again....
That's okay. I know what to do.
I thought about turning to Beach Body. They sell great workouts that are mostly cardio. See the problem? And the entire company is based on a pyramid scheme. Not something I really want to support. I might actually go for it if the products weren't so overpriced.
When I started looking for a fitness guide to follow this time, Dragon reminded my how effective the Buff Dudes schedule was. Their eating plan is for men looking to add bulk. Not my goal at all. I already know how to eat clean. I like the original 12 week plan. It is available on pdf and is free. The equipment I need is waiting for me in the garage.
When I build lean muscle mass, the fat melts away, my endurance spikes, I sleep better and feel better. All endless cardio does for me is shape my backside a little and make me tired.
Tomorrow, I am rearranging my workout space. The bench needs to be more convenient to use. The mats need to be cleaned and things need to be organised a little better. Yep, I'm a perfectionist.
Gotta start somewhere.
