Code Red


After twenty years together, it has never changed.  THAT one week of every month, I am like a typhoid Mary that must be avoided like the plague.  Well, of course my mouth is of use, but that's about it.

The problem I have is when it ends.  Apparently, we just have a lack of communication in this regard and it seems to create issues just about every month.  I try not to be assuming and announce that it's over (hint...hint...I want some!) but He seems to lose track of time.  Meanwhile, I get my feelings hurt waiting for Him to ask if I am available. 

I have just never understood why this one thing couldn't be simpler. 

Well, Master decided to fix that!  One of the resolutions He gave me this year was to wear something red every day that I am on my cycle.  Not only did I think this was kind of corny at first but it was going to be hard to implement since my wardrobe contains maybe 2 pieces of red clothing.

Looking in my closet...I really do wear too much black! 

While, in the process of debating whether I needed to go shopping to buy a few more red items, I came up with a pretty brilliant idea!  But it had to be alright with Him first. 

Thankfully, He loved the idea. 



This ruby pendant He gave me several years ago!  Not only am I loving this resolution but this is such a lovely little solution to our age old problem! 

He's so smart:)

  1. stop, do not pass go, do not collect...lol. That really is a good idea. I've never had to worry about the end of mine. Master thinks it should last only 3 days so starts asking me on day 3/4 if i'm done yet. No, in 7 years, I've never had a 3 day cycle. Come back on Day 6.

  2. Awesome solution. I always just tell Sir. I'm done, how can I serve you. He couldn't get a room fast enough. Lol love the pendant.

    I'm a black clothes girl too. Hate the reason. I think it's anxiety but I cold sweat like no tomorrow. Ugh.

  4. that's such a cute idea! and a lovely necklace too, how lovely to able to utilize it in this way.

    The only time I wear knickers to bed is when I'm on, so he soon knows when I've finished because I'll stop wearing knickers again!

    3. we are blessed with a reasonably moderate climate - sure we get some frost and maybe a sprinkling of snow in the winter, but nothing the US. Add in proper american quilt he bought me for our wedding anniversary one year and central heating and even winter naked sleeping is possible!

    2. I had uterus removed, but still go through pms like no tomorrow. Sucks cause I can't ever tell that is what the issue is until it's finished.

  7. Both are great ideas! But the necklace is just brilliant, such a subtle statement when needed -and it's beautiful too. Since D and i seem to battle against the same kind of issues, this is definitely something we should think about too!

    Great blog, great post -new follower & added to my blogroll.
    Happy belated New Year to you and yours.

  8. Very lovely necklace with such meaning now. I no longer have that problem since I don't get it anymore and I don't miss it either. Good riddance!
