It seems I&#8217;ve injured or inflamed a muscle leading to piriformis syndrome, aka sciatica, which, <em>holy smokes<\/em>, really hurts!  But I finally broke down and went to my PCP, who sent me home with a couple of Rxs and some stretches to do.  I am hoping it will be a distant memory soon, but in the meantime I am trying to take it a bit easier on my body than I usually do.  \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other than that I&#8217;m having a wonderful holiday season!  I got most of my shopping and wrapping done relatively early, and have managed to keep the stress and holiday drama to a minimum this year. I am getting better at releasing myself from some of my self-made emotional obligations, and trying to practice more self care when it comes to stressful people in my life.  I can only do so much to help and I cannot fix everything, even if I&#8217;d like too (repeating that like a mantra is a good start- lol) Wish me luck keeping it that way going into 2024.  (hahaha) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brett and I took the train into NYC to see the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular together last Saturday.  It was his first time but my 10th time since 2012 and I still love it!  First row 3rd mezz center &#8211; my favorite seats in the house and the show is always fantastic. We of course checked out a few of the must see sites while we were there.  It was insanely crowded because of how warm and close to Christmas it was but we still had fun.  He says he likes to go to the city once every 5 years or so to help him remember why we only go to city once every 5 years or so. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery

They helped us decorate the tree, and I helped them wrap things that they bought for others while we drank some holiday eggnog with a kick.  Then we cozied up in the living room to watch their favorite holiday movie; &#8220;Home Alone&#8221;.  The next morning they helped me throw a bunch of splashes of color in my hair &#8211; red, purple, magenta, etc. &#8211; a bit crazy but I love it!

No play photos this posting but I did get some amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/?page_id=97\">feedback<\/a> that really made me smile.  I absolutely <em>LOVE<\/em> when I can create such wonderfully memorable experiences for people.  Seriously it warms my heart and reminds me that this is important work. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sxysadist.com\/MainSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ecb45e_1bd9ddb327a3484c8ab61743d121535amv2.png?resize=300%2C250&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16219\" style=\"width:254px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing that wasn&#8217;t so awesome that happened recently was Eros stopped allowing Domination advertising and actually refunded my ad money!  They now cater exclusively to full service escorts and this is frustrating because there are less and less reputable places for people in my line of work to advertise.  Of course, I still have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dickievirgin.com\/\">Dickie Virgin<\/a> who is and has always been one of my favorites but there is a brand new one that is trying to get established that I&#8217;d like to share with you &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdsmprofessionals.com\/\">BDSM Professionals<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In light of this I thought it would be a great time to ask you &#8211; where do you go to look for pro dommes?  Is there another directory or do you prefer or do you hit a search engine?  What key words do you use? Enquiring dominant minds need to know.  \ud83d\ude09 Send me some useful info and I will give you a $20 credit towards your next session!

However, I would still like to offer a discount for folks who might not have been able to afford a session this year, to hopefully be able to visit early next year.  So to anyone still reading this overly long blog post, I would like to give you a $50 credit on your next 1 hour session booked between Jan 1st and Feb 14th &#8211; Valentines day! (that&#8217;s not quite 20% but fairly generous I think) &lt;smile> To claim it you <strong>MUST<\/strong> mention the <strong>&#8220;Slappy New Rear&#8221;<\/strong> blog post when you reach out to me to book it via email <a href=\"mailto:Mistress@sxysadist.com\">Mistress@sxysadist.com<\/a> or text (860) 459 &#8211; 9471 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay, this ended up way longer than I intended when I sat down this morning &#8211; lol.
