Kids off to school... now what?!!

[Touch_72]

Okay. So the big yellow busses came and collected the kids for their first day of the school year. It leaves me wondering what comes next for my day.

Do I...

A. Heed the call of the covers and go back to sleep because I'm tired from last night's late night of car issues and a fight with the wife?

B. Spend the next few hours playing around in the boards here, settling in to get to know the place and people, having just joined?

C. Get some writing done... ach, do I feel up to that right now?!!

D. Masturbate. That's a "when in doubt" option, right?

E. Move the stuff around in the house that I need to move around to cut down on clutter... oh where is my energy?

F. Figure out where my wit has gone, because this is the most boring and all-too-serious poll I've posted anywhere ever... and I didn't even post it using the poll function. *lol*

Welcome to Lit!

The bus comes here next week and then it's just me with the puppy and the kitty.

Masturbation is a good plan.

 

[phrodeau]

I would opt for C. Take what's going through your head right now, and put it on paper.

 

[Killswitch]

G: Post your funbags and Vag on the GB for all to see.


Oh fuck it's a dude.

Isn't it always? *lol* I'm sure I'll get to it at some point...

It always happens... kinda like gravity.

That's the problem. I grew up as an artist and learned that when I'm not in the mode and force things, it doesn't go well. I don't really feel up to clicking into the minds of my characters at the moment.

G: Post your funbags and Vag on the GB for all to see.

My funbags and vag? Did you catch option A's "last night's... fight with the wife"?

I'd love to have funbags... and a vag, too. The fact that both of my hands are free to type is a sign of their absence because if they'd magically appear on me, I'd be... busy right now.

I still have to figure out where his bus stop is. First day as a freshman in high school. I have a week, hopefully we'll figure it out!

I write when I'm obsessed or when a story grabs me around the throat and will...not...leave me alone.

When I figured out that I usually only wrote when these things happened...I thought...hey, who really wants to be obsessed or strangled. Maybe not writing means I'm...what...happy? I'll take it.

 

[MNGuy]

Masturbate, creatively and furiously.

I'm sure you will. Scary when they hit that age, though, right? *lol* My eldest is starting his senior year today. Crazy.

I'm sure there's a character out there who loves obsession and perhaps one end or the other of strangling... ugh, wait... is that a sex thing or a serial killer thing?

I write when inspired. If the characters aren't there hanging out in my head, it's like the parts of a reality show where everyone's sleeping... there's nothing to air.

But, if not writing means you're happy... great! Be happy!

I like the "creatively" thought... hmmm... perhaps a thread soliciting creative ideas...? New and different and deliciously kinky masturbation...?

My daughter headed off to graduate school a month ago. I'm going to miss her badly. I think I kinda hoped she would move back closer to home, but...I'm going through the final throes of her empty nest. I fended it off with "She's gone, but maybe she'll come back." Nope. Not coming back. Damn.

I have written sex things combined with serial killer things. I think one of my favorite lines regarding that was to a blood-scrawled message. "Fuck, who punctuates in blood?" *holds up hand* I would!

Right, so do I. Since it's for fun and not for a job (I prefer to remain amateur in the things that really make me happy) I don't have to be on a schedule and when it whacks me over the head I'm happy to do it. It has been a while though.

Attach bungee cords to the next one.

*eyes boy* Maybe. If I bribe with extra chocolate milk in the budget. He's wily.

 

[Mischka]

A. Heed the call of the covers and go back to sleep because I'm tired from last night's late night of car issues and a fight with the wife?

What did you fight about? Can you accomplish something today to help with that issue?

 

[BotanyBoy]

Batin' it's the only rational thing to do.

*lol* There ya go.

What did you fight about? Can you accomplish something today to help with that issue?

Unfortunately, not much really helps with that issue. Trust me.

That's pretty rational for this time of the morning.

Then, get the dishes done, start the laundry and masturbate.

Yup, stuff will be done, yes. I'll find the motivation... it's just one of those days, y'know.

 

[Mischka]

I don't know you. Why would I trust you? Certain situations cannot be helped, but arguing about them is a separate subject. And arguing with a spouse is draining and counterproductive to much you want to accomplish. Just wondering if there was something you could pursue along those lines.

That's pretty rational for this time of the morning.

OP is on the east coast. It's past 11 am there now.

Plus, I'm a terribly rational person. Except after that time with the absinthe. Poor man. I insisted he was Toulouse Lautrec.

 

[Touch_72]

I don't know you. Why would I trust you?

What I mean is, trust that I know my wife and the marriage.

Certain situations cannot be helped, but arguing about them is a separate subject. And arguing with a spouse is draining and counterproductive to much you want to accomplish. Just wondering if there was something you could pursue along those lines.

I totally agree with you there. It is counterproductive.

Essentially, we were both working on fixing a problem with her car. It was a tough to reach part of the engine. I was quietly frustrated. She was taking her own frustration out on everything, me included. She kicked the hell out of the car, slammed something off a trash can that ended up probably nicking her grandmother's car and was being really snippy with me as I was helping her. I was quiet about it for some time, but it got to the point where it was really not helping and I asked her to not take her frustrations out on me.

Result? She blew up.

Without turning this into a "bitch about my wife" post or thread, but to use that explanation and translate what I mean when I say it really can't be helped... there are certain things about her nature that can be very difficult to live with. I've tried so many different ways to address things that cause me pain or create problems between us in the relationship, but no way works if the person isn't willing to listen and look and see. I've tried fixing things on my end to fix the relationship, but that only goes so far.

That's what I mean when I say trust me that there's not really anything I can do today that will help.

I apologized to her last night for some of the ways that I reacted after she blew up. It takes two people to fight. But, the problem is that I have no sense that she sees any personal responsibility on her end and am not really able to do much about that. As usual, I'm the only one apologizing... that gets tough after a while.

This is more than I really wanted to explain because I really didn't intend any rant about my wife in the thread, but perhaps it gives you a picture?

G. PM busybody. She's always down for a kinky chat.

I go with B. and D., then you might be able to go back to C., depending on what inspired you to do D. At some point F. will return when you're out of this funk, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Been rolling with B as a default, D always a possibility... y'never know what's around the corner of the next moment and what inspiration will drive a hand down pants... so, the inspiration is the question, though I do idly touch while reading around.

C will probably fall by the wayside since I do have things I'll need to do as the day goes on. I can only put them off so long.

And F... well, my mind was still trying to warm up and get used to the idea of a new day. It has by now. My brain cells take a bit to come to life in the morning.

Sounds like you've got it figured out.
