As we get close to closing out 2021 &#8211; I thought I would take a moment to reflect a bit on this crazy up and down year.  It goes with out saying that freaking covid still sucks. I am truly sick of this drama and had sincerely hoped that once the majority of us were vaccinated that we would begin to be able to put that crap in our rear view.  Sadly this doesn&#8217;t seem to be the case just yet.  I hate to think that this is our new normal but I guess only time will tell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In spite of all that- I have been managing to have a fairly joy filled Dec!  I have had quite a few lovely play dates with some AMAZING people!! Many of my favorites came to visit for some holiday stress relief and I met a few new people that I very much look forward to getting to know better next year.  Thank you to all of you that gave me such lovely holiday gifts and generous bonuses!!  Here is a smattering of pics from some of the sessions I have had in the last  couple of weeks.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"240\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 320 \/ 240;\"

I ordered some of the dungeon essentials like a case of silky water based lube, non latex gloves and a case of condoms.  (Lol you would be surprised the looks I used to get walking into CVS and paying for several packages of 36 condoms at a time.  I would just smile and say I was throwing a party.)   <br><br>I also grabbed a new but plug that is sound activated, a lovely new prostate massager, AND one that has disco lights in it (because I never saw anything like THAT before)!! It&#8217;s so freaking festive and will look great with the light up clothes pins and tiny clip on CBT ornaments!  <br><br>Let&#8217;s see what else &#8211; Oh and new humbler that allows the hands to be in front, a couple new gags, (love the rose), an ADOABLE puppy mask, a half dozen vibe eggs, a bunch of rubber cbt rings, a nice new endoscope so I can peek into all sorts of lovely dark places and more! <br><br>I&#8217;d also love to give a shout out to my buddy Danny of<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/leatherbydanny.com\/shop\/en\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/leatherbydanny.com\/shop\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Leather by Danny<\/a> for repairing my leather legs splints for me.  I had a buckle break and popped a couple of rivets and he did such an awesome job I actually could not tell where it was broken!  I really appreciate him taking the time to do that repair for me considering how busy he is vending his wonderful wares at kink shows all around the country. He makes loads of great gear including those gorgeous leather straps that I use all the time!

discovered that some of my super fat little squirrels had actually finally made a nest in one of the two cool new squirrel houses that I bought for them!  I am a HUGE animal lover and have been feeding the squirrels and birds (and sometimes a bear) in my yard for quite some time now and I added these cozy little homes to help them make it more comfortably through the winter.   I had actually started to think they were too fat to get in there but I peeked inside today and discovered it full of cozy nest materials!  Yay! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211204_110833-Copy-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211204_110833-Copy.jpg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14027\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211204_110833-Copy-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/?attachment_id=14027\" class=\"wp-image-14027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211204_110833-Copy-rotated.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211204_110833-Copy-rotated.jpg?resize=50%2C50&amp;ssl=1 50w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211204_110833-Copy-rotated.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211204_110833-Copy-rotated.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/wp-1640193316644586632021484003112-1-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/wp-1640193316644586632021484003112-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"13945\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/wp-1640193316644586632021484003112-1-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/?attachment_id=13945\" class=\"wp-image-13945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/wp-1640193316644586632021484003112-1-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/wp-1640193316644586632021484003112-1-scaled.jpg?resize=50%2C50&amp;ssl=1 50w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/wp-1640193316644586632021484003112-1.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/wp-1640193316644586632021484003112-1.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/santa-smile.jpg?resize=62%2C73&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14032\" width=\"62\" height=\"73\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/santa-smile.jpg?w=438&amp;ssl=1 438w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/santa-smile.jpg?resize=257%2C300&amp;ssl=1 257w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 62px) 100vw, 62px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brett and I made it out to see the new Cirque Du Soleil show &#8220;Twas the night before Christmas&#8221; one day last week, and I really enjoyed that and walking around the city on such a lovely warmish day.
