Much ado about stress
This is not a good day. The closer I get to my start day next Tuesday, the more stressed I become. It has nothing to do with the job. It’s the transportation issue. We’ve moved away from the idea of a rental car. The damn things are just bloody expensive. My friend (let’s finally give her her own letter) H offered to take me back and forth to work until I get my first full paycheck. I don’t want to do this but we’ve had no luck finding a used car in our price range. We figure that once I get that paycheck we’ll combine it with the donation and sale money I still have, and that should hopefully get us a nice used car. If we can find one then, that is.
H is going above and beyond in this instance and while I’m loathe to have to depend on her further, my other options are crap. Of course, it could be worse but that’s little consolation on bad days like this. My bro is still looking for a car as I write this, but the odds that he’ll find anything are slim to none. Leasing a car is not a viable option for a few reasons.
My hours are about where they should be for the job. However, my body is not adjusting very well. I’m having problems falling asleep and I keep waking up frequently during the morning hours. I need a sleep mask. But maybe once I start working I’ll be so exhausted that I’ll fall sleep easily (or easier) and I won’t wake up early. I’m aiming to fall asleep no later than 4:30AM and to wake up at 12:30PM. Fun times.
My goodies came in the mail while I slept, but even they can’t cheer me up.
Sorry about the glare off the comic, but the pictures always come out blurry if I turn off the flash. The Pleasure is my first ceramic toy and I’ve gotta say I like the look and the weight of it. You can’t see it very well in the picture, but the checkered storage bag it comes with is very cool and sturdy. I likes it. The bubble wrap that protected the items is what is pictured at the top. What’s cool about having so much is I can turn around and use it to ship off the toys in my sale.
The lube smells like strawberry champagne. I read a couple pages of the comic and it reads just like a bad porno. But I’m amused. The Cupid Ripples is soft but firm and oddly powdery. The wipes smell a bit like vanilla as they should and the batteries are, well, batteries.
Good news on the Ina smell: I washed it with the Climax Bursts and the smell is nearly non-existent now. Like I said to Effin Sara in the comments for that post, I think it might have had something to do with the cold temps, the packaging, and the silicone.
I tried using the Ina last night, but it didn’t go so well. There’s a learning curve with this toy and it may take me a few times to get it right. You know I’m not gonna give up on it! Of course, there is always the chance it won’t be a good fit for me. I hope that’s not the case. It really is a lovely looking vibe.
It would do me a world of good to talk to M before I start work, but I fear that’s not going to happen. Damn snow fucks everything up. I haven’t been chatting much with anyone of late, so I apologize to those of you on my messengers who’ve wondered where I’ve been. I’m just not up for socializing.
One bright spot is that I finally finished and posted my latest smut piece. I think I did a pretty good job. Hell, I had to wank after I finished. It’s getting tougher to write smut and I plan on talking about that a bit more in a future post.
I’m still tinkering around with WordPress, figuring out how I like the posts to lay out best. It can be confusing and tedious but it’s so much better than Blogger.
I think I’m tapped out on words for now. I’m feeling a bit less stressed, too. Blogging is therapy, people.
Smut pieces are the best.
Sorry to hear about the car situation. Are there any buses nearby that could help out?
All your new toys look like fun. New toys always cheer me up.
Just don’t worry so much. Everything will end up working out. It always does someway or another. Sounds like you have a great friend in H, though.
Thanks. H is indeed an awesome friend.
The nearest bus stop is about a mile away. With the cold weather & my bad knees, it’s just not good for me to walk that far every day.
