Yes, I know this isn't a political blog but it is affecting me RIGHT NOW.
Right after the hurricane water could be found for $40+ a case. Media pressure was enough to bring the price back down.
Now the oil industry is cashing in on the disaster. Gas prices are up almost $2 a gallon. The media has created a false panic about nonexistent shortages.
I pray the Governor Abbot or President Trump put a stop to this fast! We are already struggling without this mess.

Hurricane Harvey
This time we were not in the path. We should have been but this is what happens when you name a hurricane after a man. He won't ask for directions, wanders around lost, leaves a mess and doesn't clean up after himself.
Life is getting back to the crazy normal. Even Dragon is going back to school. AND I have two clients! The first since Dragon retired. Happy me. A very busy me. I like it when life keeps me busy!

Series Book Review
I love Karen Chance as an author. Her books have me waiting on the edge of my seat for the next one in the series.
But.
You can't have a character that knows guns and calls a magazine a clip. I can't stand it. Every time Dorina calls a magazine a clip I have to put the book down for the day. It makes the book last longer but it is irritating.
I love Cassie but how does that girl keep ending up naked? Every book! Good grief, give the girl some clothes.
And last but not least, over complicated scenes. I get totally lost in the improbable battle scenes.
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE her books. Vampires, werewolves, magic and romance. I highly recommend the Cassie Palmer and Dorina books but be warned, some parts are hard to read.

A Lesson Learned in Tornado Ally
Low chance of rain. An unusually humid day. It felt more like Florida or Alabama than our semi arid area. Small storms were developing and fizzling all around us. A few drops of rain and a little thunder kept us inside.
It was a good day for a nap.
No warnings. I kept watch because I know how fast the weather turns nasty here.
A great day until it wasn't.
The light rain turned into a down pour. The house shook with the force of wind. Just as I was taking a breath to call the kids to the hall, one of them said, "MOM I THINK IT'S A TORNADO!!!"
A huge boom and the power was out.
By the time we were all huddled in the hall, it was over.
I left the kids in the safety of the hall while I looked at the damage.
A huge 100 year old tree was mostly down and took the power lines with it. The chicken coop was blown over and the chickens looked stunned. Tin roofing was scattered across three yards.
Nothing on the news. No warnings.
I called Dragon as soon as I could. I'm glad I did. The neighbors sent him a text asking if we were okay. I don't know what I would have done without them.
We are okay and the house had very little damage. It took about 6 hours to get the meter repaired and power back on. It is so wet that we are having a hard time getting the fire going.
Disaster strikes fast with very little warning. Watch the sky and always be aware of what the weather is doing.

Gravity is a B......
It sure is.
Life gets busy and it takes a toll.
Sorry. No spanking this week. Fun, punishment or otherwise.
Just a fun song about life.
Enjoy

The Belt
The belt holds a place of fear in my mind. We have been working on that fear for years. Dragon is patient and is slowly chipping away at all those old fears.
First he just let me see it in his hand. After a few months he stroked my bare skin with the smooth leather. Then came light taps that didn't even come close to stinging.
Last week I asked for a real spanking with the belt. I'll admit that I called RED long before it began to really hurt but I'm closer. The blind lizard brained fear never hit. I called my safe would when I began to feel my heart race.
Panic would have undone all the progress we have made. We will see what happens next time.
