Twas the night before...

The busy holiday weekend.............. i was curled up at Sir's feet .. the TV was on... the lights from the Christmas tree were sparkling...... the snow was drifting down....... and all was right with the world.......... UNTIL the satellite reception decided that soft falling snow was more than it could handle and POOF no more TV. Now there is nothing more frightening than my SIR without a TV........

He came on line to catch up on His reading of blogs....... and suddenly i was summoned to fetch the shaving gear. ughhhhhhhh.... this is a job that is supposed to be done semi regularily....... like every two weeks... but it is NOT one of my favourites so i tend to not put out the shaving gear for Sir.. tend to put it off .. tend to ignore it.....

i decided in all my wisdom to put a brand new blade in the razor .. seeing as there was more than delicate stubble to shave... i thought it might go faster... and i would be freed quicker to come back on my pc and write a blog.. or better still get caught up on my reading of blogs..

i did warn Sir about the new blade.. and He did go lightly .. but somewhere along the way i felt and heard ( i swear i heard it !!) the blade scraping off a thin layer of skin.......... OUCH !! That was most definitely NOT consentual.. no way no how !!! i yelped.. Sir said "no blood so stop whining"... i tried to stop whining honestly i did !!! i bit my lip.. i put my arm over my eyes (like i could see what was happening anyway !) Did you know a razor .. even a razor with a brand new blade .. can make a scraping sound as it tugs out the hairs?? It is definitely not my favourite sound.. definitely not a soothing sound.. definitely not a comforting sound. Then Sir said .. "OOOOPS!" (another less than comforting.. less than soothing sound) "There is some blood - not much though" and He continued on His merry way .................

Can someone explain to me WHY when one is cut why it itches?? i thought i would go mad waiting for Sir to finish.. all i wanted to do was scratch.. (which of course would have just made the area more tender and more rashy and more uncomfortable)...

Once the deed was done....... Sir.... with gleeful smile.. picked up the Gold Bond EXRA Medicated Powdered and liberally sprinkled a finishing coat over the already burning itching skin..... i was informed (sighhh) that Sir had taken pity on His littleone and had not used the usual amount.. nor had He rubbed it in with the same zeal........... geeee i feel so lucky ?!?!?

And now.. everything is clean and ready for the holiday festivities.. even the sub.........
