Maslow's Needs

Regular readers (is there such a thing on this blog?) may have noticed Mistress and I have been kind of quiet on the blog lately and on twitter too to some extent after the big birthday kinkfest that we had back in Feb.

Well, we're not dead, and the blog hasn't been abandoned by any means, we have just been busy spending far too much time in the vanilla world then either of us really care to.

We have both been obeying the law of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. That is, we have been more preoccupied with meeting our physiological and safety needs to indulge in our higher needs of hot kinky sex.

Not that I want to bore anyone with our problems, but the economy has huffed and puffed and finally blown our house of straw down. The company that I work for has cut me down to working 3, maybe 4 days a week if I'm lucky, and as such we cannot afford the studio any longer and I must move, and soon. Mistress has been working very hard at renovating the property I am to move into, and I am *so* proud of her at the work she's doing...and so thankful to her and her husband that it can and has brought me to tears more than once.

I am poor yes, but in terms of those who love me? I am rich beyond compare. Thank you Mistress. Thank you Sir.

So even though I haven't been working on the job much, all the 'free' time I have left has been spent in either helping in the renovations or just trying to get by--looking for extra work, selling things on Ebay, having near-weekly garage sales (all the while hoping that no one looks around my garage and goes, "Hey, wasn't this where Sissy's First Video was filmed? :P ) trying to divest myself of some possessions that wont fit in the new, smaller place and trying to pay bills. I'm not going to go on and on about it--I know I'm not alone going through a very rough patch right now, and there are plenty of people in worse circumstances than ours. I just felt an explanation of our silence was in order.

So things have been busy, and stressful, and kind of depressing. Not exactly conductive to hot kinky fun times. I'm hoping that once the renovations are done and the move accomplished that Mistress and I can resume our 'normal' (if such a term can be applied to us) day-to-day life of a loving Femdom-sissy couple.

I'm sure there might be some interest and even serve some kind of purpose about talking frankly about the real life trials and tribulations of being in a Femdom 24/7 (or as best we can) relationship, particularly when real life issues put the stress and strain on the dynamics of the relationship. And Mistress might indeed, for therapeutic value if nothing else might choose to write about that sometime. It might be a good change of pace as opposed to the popular Femdom fantasy stereotype where we are both dressed and doing kinky nasty things to each other every hour of every day--as seems to be the case in nearly all Femdom fiction a a few reality-challenged blogs. Talking about what couples do when the mojo runs low, and when one is so stressed, scared and depressed that it just seems to overwhelm and darken every waking moment.

You know, the Real World. As opposed to the Fictional Whips & Chains world.

But that is up to Mistress if she wishes to do something like that. I am not up to that task, other than this one blog entry.

I'm off to shower now and go do another day of work on my future home.
