It took around 2 and a half hours to do, and for the most part wasn't so painful for me, other than the part of the ribbon which is right over my ass crack. Delightful? Well, no, but it was worth it in the long run. It's healed up now and I like it very much. Beautiful work from The Country Gentleman. I'm already planning to have some Japanese maple leaves added to the overall thing, just so I have all four seasons. Also, they have special meaning: my mum always wanted an Acer in the garden when I was a kid.
That means a lot to me at the moment.
My Mum recently had a pacemaker fitted, after finding out she had stage one heart failure. We were all scared but I am just happy that she's okay and at home again. It makes me really appreciate the things that she has done for me. I can't imagine what life would be like without her.
In other news, our house is now 99% done! We only have the second coat of paint on the stairs to finish and a few tiles in the kitchen. It already feels so much more like home than the Other House ever did. We even did some weeding in the garden today and it feels nice to be able to do something so positive.
I went to the wedding of two friends on Saturday, and it was lovely. It was especially so because the groom is my girlfriend's boyfriend, and the bride is her best friend. Talk about weird, huh? This is one of the things you have to do when you're poly, though, and it turned out to be a lovely day and night. The feeling of compersion is wonderful; knowing that someone you love is happy because of another person, and being happy because of that. It's cracking.
I've done a couple of photoshoots in the last few weeks: both working to nude, both for one website. It was good fun! I got to be all pretty and innocent looking in some woodland, and also be a crazy catgirl, which was hilarious. Even with the insect stings and thorns in my feet. I made the most adorable necklace to wear too.
Pssh! Longest blog update in ages. Yechhh!
