The Mansion

Sunday.

Damn.

I swear I need another day between Saturday and Sunday.

How is it that one month can fly by and the next one drags its feet?

Okay. I know. The days all pass the same but our perceptions of them do not. I do not feel like being logical. I do not wish the days to fly by. By the stars, time passes all too quickly as it is. I want to lie under a tree and stare up at the blue sky between the branches. I want to feel a gentle breeze blow across my skin and more than anything, I'd love to have him by my side.

*the darkness seems to roll from within the opening of the cave below the mansion. A shadowy figure glides out,her body floating slightly off the ground,her hair billowing around her body as if alive.

Her eyes surveying the world around her as she has been aground for almost a year,letting her body and mind heal. Slowly she closes her eyes and in a flash appears on the balcony of the mansion. Looking around for her hostess, the person who made her feel welcome upon her first arrival.

Soft barefooted steps carry her towards a small table,softly she sets down a small single white carnation and a note.

" Dearest Cait,
Forgive me for leaving without any word. Things had become terrible for me and my only choice was a self imposed hibernation. Please accept this simple flower as a token of my friendship and thanks for allowing me to occupy one of the caverns below your beautiful home. I shall try to visit again very soon.

Your friend,

AK- or simply Kizzie

With another quick glance around the room a soft leap to the railing and then darkness where she once stood as she disappears into the night once more.

I find the flower she left me and it makes me smile. I took pen to paper quickly.

Kizzie!

You're back and glad I am to see you. I'm also glad to see the caverns suit you, I thought they would. Come and go as you will, Dark Angelly One. My home is open to you.

I'm sorry to hear things haven't been good for you lately. Chin up, Lady. Things will be on an upward swing before you know it.

Hugs

Because my guest is nocturnal, I chose a plant from my garden, the Night Blooming Cereus, had it potted and sent it along with my note down to the caverns with one of the maids, who wasn't exactly thrilled to be going down there. I pay her enough. She'll do as she's told. She doesn't have to like it, but she will deliver the note and the plant.

 

[angelkissez]

*Sliding from my bed I walk quietly into the spacious room of the cavern,my lips turning up into a smile as I spy the plant. I touch the petal softly then walk to the opening of the cavern.

A quick breath as I close my eyes then I appear as I always do on the balcony,softly pushing open the doors. I move into the room, startling a young maid. I move quickly as she releases the vase in her fear. I catch it before it hits the ground,setting it back upon the table.

Her eyes are huge with her fright as I nod to her. " I won't harm you. Please continue with your duties." I speak just above a whisper to her as I drop down on the lounge,closing my eyes.

She didn't go wishing on stars tonight. She didn't need to. She had her own star, around her neck. Her fngers came up to touch it, making her smile. Slipping from her walk in closet, she turned off the light, closed the door behind her. The dress, the buy lingerie were all set aside, waiting for that special night. It was going to happen. She was going to make it so.

Moonlight filtered in through the curtains. She was dressed in her usual nightwear, a white button down men's business shirt. The shirt hung off her, down to her knees. The shirt was unbuttoned at the top by a few buttons. The star that hung from her throat sat just at the valley of her breasts. Those two things were the only things she wore to bed.

His side was still empty but she wasn't worried. he would join her soon enough. The covers were tossed back and only the top sheet came up to her waist as she settled in. Her head for now, on a pillow but it wouldn't stay that way. He would gather her close when he came to bed, settling her on his arm or against his chest. Other times, she curled close when she came to bed and his arm always found her, snagging her around the waist and tugging her into the shelter of his body, curling it around her protectively.

The coolness of the pillow sank under her cheek as her eyes closed. The lack of sleep despite the nap today, was taking its toll.

hell even my Gf just wears lingerie to make night more attractive and pleasurable. She looks damn good in lingerie

Morning dawns. There are things to see to. While I've been out, I've had company. Hopefully, I'll catch Kizzie another day or evening, as it were.

Yesterday had a rough edge, soon smoothed out however. Today is a new day. I still have a post owing but I'm not sure yet what to write in response. It'll come to me, sooner or later. In the meantime, off to dress and start my day.

I blow a kiss into the ether for Ice, who I know is out there. Somewhere. A strong, wise, truthful friend. I'm glad he's in my corner. I miss him. Happy for him.

I need to stop by the China Pearl too when I have a moment. Although little birds tell me that CG has been occupied of late. That makes me grin.

And Dryfter. I can't help but smile warmly. I'll return home shortly and settle in his lap. Where I belong.

Today was spent mowing grass. The CDF expects it's going to be a rough summer since we've not had enough rainfall. I believe it. I just bartered with my next door neighbor for a fire break and some help cleaning up the property. He gets to rent some of my back acreage for his hogs. It's all good.

The evening was spent with my Sir and our usual mode of communication.

Tomorrow will be household chores and more writing. I have some replies due including a Beltane piece I am doing in PM with Sir. That will be posted to my notebook when we're finished with it.

I did a post for Trenchcoat and now it's time to sleep. I think I got a bit more sun then I should have.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Good Morning!

And owie. How can sitting on a damn lawnmower for three plus hours make me all stiff and sore? Feck. There are much more satisfying ways to feel like that. Sir would agree, I'm sure. I need to start the laundry, set the coffeemaker to on and run down to get the morning paper. Then breakfast, dishes, some writing, some house cleaning, more writing and giving in to some geekdom. At least that's the plan unless Sir gets home early from work.

Now.... if only I can get out of this chair.

Ugh.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

 

[DarkWarrioress]

I owe one more post but I'm not sure where I'm going with that yet. Otherwise, I'm all caught up. I promised to go to bed with Sir, but I had to lock up the house first so I'm off to do that. I have to be up early the next two days. Very early on Wednesday.

It was a good day. Productive. Warm but not too warm because of the soft wind. I love to listen to the pine trees whisper. I don't think I'll ever forget that sound. Rough summer ahead but for now, it's not bad. I'm going to enjoy the day and let tomorrow worry about itself.

Night Lit.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

The day is one of her busiest for the week but it is shaping up that most of her week is going to be that way. No breaks for the wicked. However, she woke with smile and hit the shower thinking that today, Sir has the day off. Yay.

Now if only she could solve the small problem poking at her. Ranting and raving won't fix it but once she gets it solved? Ohhh, she's going to rant.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

*drops keys in their basket*

Day is done.

Yay.

Time for a glass of wine and maybe some Reba before dinner.

*nods*

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Ugh!

Who turned on my alarm before the sun even came up?

Oh.. wait... I did. Dammit.

I've got one slightly swollen right eye this morning. I'm grumpy. I had the weirdest dreams last night. Anything else want to tick me off? No? Good. Stay that way. Another busy today with me doing a lot of driving back and forth. Someone please stop the elevator, I wanna get off. Between floors.

Okay. I know. So many more people have it rougher and worse. But I have a right to grumble sometimes.

I'm done.

On the plus side, Sir is off early today and the winds are going to keep it from getting too hot. I woke up alive and breathing, that's something too AND I have the house to myself for most of the day so it's like having a day off, right?

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Four-thirty? Really? There are times I hate my body. I didn't sleep well the night before, ran on fumes and lust all day yesterday and went to bed at a decent time last night and my body wakes me at four-thirty in the morning? It's still dark out! Even the chickens aren't awake yet. *grumbles* My cats are, but then they're weird anyway. Now see, my dog is smart. She's sacked out at the end of the bed snoozing away. I'd go cuddle up to her but she doesn't like cuddling. She'd just give me a disgusted look, get up and go to the opposite end of the bed and bed down again. That's gratitude for ya. After all the time and expense I went through when she had that bad tooth.

*glances at the time with a sigh*

No sense in me trying to get comfy again. The alarm is going to go off in a half hour anyway. Maybe I'll just go jump in the shower instead.

Why is it that cats and dogs can sleep anywhere at any time for any length of time?

 

[Annisthyrienne]

Why is it that cats and dogs can sleep anywhere at any time for any length of time?

Because they haven't got anything else to do.

Conservation of energy my dear, until the chase

Because they haven't got anything else to do.

From observations, you both are correct. I swear the dogs lie in wait for the cats to start fighting or the garbage and the recycling trucks to pull up or even the pit bull next door to start barking. But it never fails to amaze me how fast they expend their energy resources. *grins*

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Pencil crunched between her teeth because, well, I have an oral fixation so something is always in my mouth, calculator by one hand, coffee by the other and the bills in front of me. A soft sigh as I scribbled in the register. Well, the one light at the end of my tunnel, I just paid off my car. Next month I can start saving for a certain Vegas trip. *knuckles lightly rap on the wooden desktop*

Time for a shower. A trip to the nail salon. Then home to prep the soil for some veggies I'm going to grow out back in my garden and hopefully, this afternoon as the heat sets in, I'll sit down to write. I owe Scutt a post.

I also have guests this weekend, family. The kidlets and their mother. The Ren Faire has come back to my part of the woods, unfortunately, we can't attend. A shame really, I'd love to introduce the kids to one. Maybe next year if they can pick a better time of year for it, like in the fall. Maybe it's a good thing I can't go this year, I'd be walking away with some new things from there and I have a trip to begin saving for instead.

Ah well. Time to stop procrastinating and get busy.

Bills are shuffled and set aside to go out. The calculator is turned off and put away. The study is abandoned for now.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

So....

Two days ago when picking up the kidlets, I got a flat tire. I could have changed it myself. I know how and done so countless of times before, but I have roadside assistance that I pay a fee for every year and until now, haven't used it. Local company was called out and the repair was done. Thank you, Brian.

So....

Today, I looked good. I felt good. I went out this morning, got my nails done. Then hit the grocery store and promptly, on accident (of course), locked my keys in the trunk of my car.
Bloody hell. It's noon, there's a north wind blowing so I don't really feel the 80+ degree weather. I have a bottle of water as I lean against the car and start punching numbers into my cell phone. Usually, I'm very careful about that sort of thing. Always paying attention where I lay my keys down. Usually they go in my pants pocket but I wore a tight skirt today instead, no room and yeah, I could have called roadside assistance again but I chose to call family instead. They ran out to the house, retrieved the spare key and brought it to me.

Is there anything else the Cosmos wants to use to get my attention with? Okay. Okay. You have my attention. What the sam hell are you trying to tell me? Oh? It isn't you but just me being dumb ass? I guess I shouldn't grumble too much. It's been awhile since crap like this has happened.

Now I'm just waiting for the roomie to come back with the car so I can take the kidlets out to get their free comic book.

I'm gonna work on flying under the radar and if that doesn't work? I'm going to dig a hole, crawl in it and stay there until whatever this is, blows over.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Wow. Just Wow.

Yesterday it was sunny and clear. 90+ degrees and today it's overcast, thundering like crazy (making all the dogs crazy and the cats simply watching them like they're crazy) with a few drops of rain. What is up with this crap anyway? Is the end of the world coming or something?? Did I miss the announcement at some point? Sheesh.

Okay that's out of my system.

Pretty leisurely day. Some laundry. Some picking up of stuff. Testing out Diablo III, because, well, yanno, Blizzard gave it to me for taking a year contract out with them (which I was going to do anyway). Geeking it up and grinding more rep while I think about how and where my post to Scutt is going to go.

On another note, fresh wet earth is an awesome smell.

Yesterday was an awesome day. Took the kidlets out to get their free comics. While at the comic book store, found a sword the girl wants. I'm not above applying blackmail. I'll use it, I swear. I also found a birthday present for Sir. It sounds like I got a decent deal and I'm pretty sure he'll like it and appreciate it. Now, I just have to figure out how to get it to him without USPS bending it. =/ Well, I have a few months to figure it out. Something will come to me.

Made my last car note payment this month. *grinning ear to ear* Have to buy and install a new toilet in the roomie's bathroom, buy a new window air conditioner for my livingroom and get some tomato and cucumber plants. I'm even contemplating using one of the old horse troughs for some strawberry plants. I seem to have a hankering for strawberries this year. Next month, I should be able to start saving for that trip to Vegas. At least, that's the plan. Air fare, a rental and some spending money for at least one show I never miss when I'm there. Food is always cheap but I rather go do some shopping for a few things in case we want to eat in or we go broke. *grins*

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Maybe the stress came with the storm. I don't know. But I had to stand between the girl and her mother a couple of hours ago and then try to talk to their mom, which got me precious little anywhere. Then talk to the kidlets and try to make sense of what the hell happened. End result was I didn't get them home until about an hour later than was planned. However, they're home now. I'm back home, stressed, but home. I've locked myself up in my personal space and the only thing on is the air conditioner. I thought about cracking into the bottle of Jim Beam my brother left behind, but nah. I use to drink when I was stressed. I'm trying to save wear and tear on my liver and kidneys since the diabetes doesn't. I thought about cracking the tequila open too, but for the same reasons, chose not to, well, that and the fact it really does make my clothes come off. *tired chuckle* I think I'll go kill things. *nodnod*
