I know I wrote a few weeks ago, that I’d like to write about my time in Las Vegas – but I may hold off on that for a while. The unfortunate reality is that I contracted COVID earlier in the week when I arrived to Vegas for a friends wedding, very sadly missed the wedding, got Paxlovid, and hoped to test negative to be able to attend the party with my friends. I did test negative on Friday (and Saturday), but I also was not allowed to attend the party. I was at the party hotel, in a party block of rooms, but wasn’t allowed to attend party events. I was pretty devastated by this and remain upset about it, but I probably won’t be saying anything else on the topic publicly.

My friends took very good care of me, but a lot of people attending the party who saw me in public spaces made a point of avoiding me and it was an emotionally difficult weekend for me. Although the weekend was difficult for a lot of complex reasons and I had a pretty hard time, it wasn’t a bad weekend. Overall, it was pretty great. I got spanked a few times (and did a few new things!), had a fun movie night with some friends and got to spend time with others. I met some folks in person for the first time after chatting online for months. I would like to write about some of that play, but we’ll see.

After I got home, a week after testing negative, I tested positive with rebound COVID and had to isolate from my husband and daughter. Then near the end of September, I left on a week-long cruise that I had been planning for a year, so the last month has been very full. I’ve got a lot in my head and we’ll just have to see what I feel comfortable getting out of it.
