cold water

The runners in my family both have foot injuries right now.  That means i get to insist on ice baths - 12 minutes, foot submerged in icewater...  (Did you know it feels colder if you stir it around?)

Because i'm me, i do this with gleeful abandon a glad heart , sadistic mirth a smile on my face, and lots of trash talk friendly teasing.

The frozen footed runners respond with a ridiculous amount of moaning, groaning, oh-woe-is-me'ing, and all around drama.

Except tonight one of them (i'll let you guess which one) reminded me, not without a good deal of growling, that there is a good chance we may be together, home, for a little bit of time, after the boys leave for school, tomorrow...and that that he might remember the whole icebath, foot-hurts-like-hell, unsympathetic-wife thing.

That thew a little cold water on my sadistic-mirth thing.

    except you've pulled that "ice water" sadistic mirth thing on me a time or too.
    So I'm afraid I'm grinning...

    1. Happily (for me) he didn't go that direction. Very unfortunately ;) we used up all our ice cubes in the bath.

  4. Lol. You know, the crossed out words don't show as crossed out on my dashboard. It seems much more accurate from there. Just sayin!

  6. Being a good little submissive, this should NOT have made me giggle.

    but it did.

    okay, and maybe I even laughed a little bit.

    You are so naughty. I do like that about you!!

    1. Ok - so i giggled at the "good little submissive" line - They're out there, I'm sure - but our life has enough serious and well behaved and responsible in it without us creating more of the same; D/s is the ends of the spectrum for us, it's where we can push, and be intense, in a lot of ways. Something tells me there's an element of that for you as well.
