On Vacation this Week for My Birthday... Yay!

I have been on vacation all week and have not been home to update my blog.  Simon and I started out Friday after work driving out to see my parents in Idaho.  It was a joint birthday party for me and my dad so it was a nice visit with all of my family.  Saturday we picked huckleberries and I got a few berries and an enormous bruise on my calf!  I am super clumsy and tripped over a log with a broken off branch sticking up.  Had I not been wearing jeans I would have been bleeding for sure.  Now it looks like someone spanked my leg.  Ha!

Sunday we came home for one night then Monday it was off to the casino for an overnight stay.  My birthday is tomorrow so we celebrated a couple days early.  We had a lot of fun!  Simon won a slot tournament (I came in 3rd!) and then later that night he won $500 at bingo.  We had not tried it before and it was pretty fun.  The winning part was really fun!  All in all we came out with about the same amount we went in with even after food, drink and hotel so it was a GREAT time!

Last night we got home and relaxed on the couch and I started to cry.  Simon and I are still getting used to being together all the time and it's not always easy or perfect.  We had a really good talk and said some things we needed to say and I think we both felt a lot better.  Sometimes I feel like there are walls between us we have not gotten through yet.  For two years we were long distance.  Due to circumstances I saw him twice in 2011.  A total of about 10 days.  When he came here in May to move his stuff I had not seen him in 6 months.  In June he moved in for real.  We're both old and set in our ways so it's been interesting.  In some ways we're settling in and in others we are still on "company manners."  For example, we can never make a decision about where to go eat.  Or what we want to do.  We're being too accommodating to the point of annoying.  Plus I have been having depression issues lately and that has not helped during this time. 

I saw my doctor this morning and I am starting new medication.  I had developed a side effect that is not good and have to go off of it.  I am crossing my fingers this new one will be a good one. I have a lot of stress in my life and I have not had a lot of stress release lately.  I think a nice birthday spanking would go a long way to relieving some of that stress.  So, dear readers, keep your fingers crossed I get what I really want for my birthday! 

Simon is at work tonight and I kind of miss him.  We've spent the last 5 days together non-stop and it feels like when he used to come visit me.  It was nice to have time away from real life and spend real time together again.  He's going to be home in an hour so I am going to finish this post up.  Wish me luck on getting that birthday spanking!
