Occlusion, supplies, Chael and friends

So, with the tax return money I've been sorting and organizing my bedroom closet and making my bedroom into a playroom (since I never used it as a bedroom anyways). This includes a lot of buying of supplies, cheap furniture, and having to find a solution to the Stuffed Animal Problem.

As I've said in past posts, the room and closet are coming along nicely. I'm very pleased with the progress made.

I've ordered a lot of supplies for my sharps work and been learning the new stuff I get... for example, I bought a new topical anesthetic which *said* it didn't need to be occluded to work. Liars. Just like Emla, Super T needs to be occluded for about 1.5 hrs before deadening occurs properly.

Frustrating. But! In my purchasing I found some occlusive medical tape/wrap that will solve the occluding issue (it's always a pain in the ass when you have to do an area larger than 5X5 or so).

I also got some anesthetics for use on open incisions and also some with vasoconstrictors to reduce/stop bleeding. Chael bleeds like a stuck pig when we cut so I found these needful.

I have another adorable red sparkle and steel box coming like the one I already have. I'm trying to get it so that everything for a single scene will fit in the smallest amount of baggage possible and the first box holds almost everything I need. A second will easily cover the few items that don't fit and all will be in a small, tidy, neatly organized space. Much better than having to dig through my whole sharps bag for the things I need...

Will still need to bring the larger bag for my extra needles and such when doing larger or multiple scenes, but for one regular one I just pull out two red boxes and a sharps container and I'm ready to go now!

Lots of other smaller things purchased to make my playroom sharps-play friendly (more Technicare, a Purell dispenser, new containers for my hat pin ends, more sharps containers since mine are getting full, etc.).

Also, unrelated, I bought a gorgeous purple pair of vegan steel-toed boots. Growr.

Chael gave me his cold and fever. He got well and last night it hit ME. I've been using Zicam, Claritin, homeopathics, and guzzling orange juice (which kept me up all night peeing). I'm feeling a bit better already, though, so it seems to be working.

We've otherwise been having a great time. Hung out with LadyHillary and AbusePainToy the other night for a bit and also had dinner together, been running errands and putting my playroom to rights, visited his mom in Houston for a day, and done a lot of laying around cuddling and sexing.

It's been a wonderful time on his leave. Today is Chael's birthday, tonight we go out to see Henry Rollins perform his spoken word at the nearby Lakewood Theater.

Tomorrow night I'm leaving him home alone for a little bit (he doesn't mind, he'll just snooze and play video games) to go see MsKitty and BoiJen at the SPLF mixer. I'm very excited, it's been a while since we've all seen each other what with states between us.

Also, took on a new bottom, Redeye42011. We have played a couple times and been chatting it up on text nearly constantly. We seem to be a good fit and get along quite well. I'm excited about this, too.

I'm still seriously considering the porn thing, just everything is on hold at the moment as I focus this time on Chael and me. So if you're interested in being in or helping with creating, please talk to me! So far, I've a couple of partners in crime but we could use more folks who are happy, good energy, that we know and will make it a fun experience.

But I'll start being serious about that and other things in another week or so, after I'm home alone again. (Chael can't participate due to his job so no working on it til he's gone)

Jonesy cat is on all kinds of meds to keep him eating. He has kidney disease and has to get sub-cu fluids twice a week and be given Pepcid, Mirtazipine and liquid Valium whenever he stops eating to get him started again. But despite all this, he acts perfectly fine... not at all like a sick kitty. So I just keep taking care of him and he keeps being his kittenish self, despite his 13 years.

Anyway, this has gotten long. The End.
