A Perfect Day

Friday I got called and asked to help out over the weekend for a work assignment. It would have meant dropping all my plans and packing quickly and hitting the road either Friday night or very early Saturday morning. It was a great pleasure to tell them "no." In no uncertain terms. A big fat "NO", in fact.

Work is taking me on the road for almost 7 weeks starting this Monday. And they thought I would give up my last two days of freedom? Yeah. Right.

Besides the weekend plans were special. Finally a day with the pup. A full day. And hubby at my side. And lots of bondage. And a visit to the "fetish flea market." And sports fetish night at the Eagle. Hmmm. Work? or all of this? Hmmmm. I think that's how they define a "New York second." That decision was an easy one.

So the day progressed as followed:

Slept late. Okay. Late for me is 8:00.
Chatted with the pup confirming plans.
Chatted with hubby confirming plans.
Caught up on e-mails and Recon messages.
Got some prep done in the dungeon.
Pup arrives.
Collaring.
And off to the flea market we three go.

The room was filled with some of the very best energy I've seen in a long time. We tried on things, we swung things, we locked things, we smelled things. All the time the vendors were so cool, so fun, and so upbeat. And we made some new purchases: a new collar for Loki, some new cross-hatch tit clamps for hubby, and two new floggers for me! A wonderful matched set of moose-hide floggers. Very buttery in feel. Almost no sting. My goal is to learn to be the most beautiful Florentine flogger on the face of the earth. LOL. Okay, so I really just don't wanna poke my own eye out.

Back to the schedule:

Late lunch at a really cool place in Decatur (ALL sorts of London and Amsterdam memories came flooding back being there.)
Back to the loft and big bondage scene for the pup.
Naptime (damn those boys were so cute cuddling in the bed)
More playtime.
Showers.
Dinner
Donning the Sportsgear
Off to the Eagle where we met new men, reconnected with some we hadn't seen for a while, and enjoyed the whole thing immensely.

Exhaustion.

I'm a very lucky man and I know it. I really do treasure the relationships in my life. And the fact that they accept each other so completely just makes it that much richer.

I was supposed to trade this in for a couple days of work? Do I look like an idiot? Don't answer that.
