Slow July and they said it wouldn't hurt

July has not been a good month for us.  We were both tired after vacation.  R has been working a lot so we haven't been able to spend much time together.  What little we have spent together has been great but not a lot of spanking going on.  So if you want to stop reading now I'll understand.

I had to go to the doctor earlier in the month because they had found something they wanted to look further into.  They told me that it wouldn't hurt - they lied.  R was unable to go with me so (lucky for me) my Mom doesn't live far so she went with me.  If you ever have to go in for a histogram, make them give you a Valium prescription before your appointment.  A little cramping my ass.  Hurt like a bitch.  And now I have to have surgery.  R has cleared his calendar so he will be able to be with me that day.  But I have another month to wait before they can do it.  Now I just get to think about it.  At least I will be put out for that procedure.  Won't remember a thing.  I like that idea.  Then we'll just have to wait for the biopsy to make sure it is not cancer.  Cervical cancer doesn't run in my family so keeping my fingers crossed.  Of course, I am the oldest female (at 45) in the last 4 generations to not have a hysterectomy by the age of 40. So this is really new territory in my family health history.  I don't want to have a hysterectomy.  We may not have been able to have children but that doesn't mean I want anything removed that isn't absolutely life threatening.

In the mean time I've managed to get bronchitis.  I've been sleeping in the recliner, if you can call coughing all night long sleeping and the other stupid doctor would give me any cough medicine with codeine so I could get some sleep.   Sometimes I really hate doctor's. 

So I'm hoping August will be a much better month (will until the surgery part).  Maybe I can get them to do some free liposuction while they are in there.  :)  Hope your July has been wonderful.

Colorado Vacation

We just got back from vacation in Colorado.  While some of the state is on fire, a lot of it isn't and we were near the fire area (close enough to see smoke at times) but far enough away to never be in danger.  We talked a lot about the fires raging around us and made sure we only unpacked as much as we needed so if we had to make a fast move we could do so.  It did make traveling around the state challenging in you had to find roads that where open.

We have friends that live in Colorado Springs and while we were not planning to visit them this trip we still haven't been able to reach them to be sure they are okay.  Hoping they are fine and that if their home was in the fire area that they got out and are safe. 

Since this was a family vacation (we were vacationing with R's family) we weren't able to have any spankings while we were gone and none since we've been home.  R got bite by a spider or an insect of some kind so I drove most of the way home from Colorado and Monday morning we were in the ER at 8 am.  So our vacation didn't end on a happy note.  The swelling is starting to go down in R's face so his cheeks don't look like a chipmunks stuffed full any more but there is still some swelling.  His temperament is improving also.  :) 

I hope everyone has a happy 4th of July.  Be safe and enjoy the fireworks if they are allowed in your area.  If you're not here in the states hope you enjoy the day also.
