I can seriously relate to this.

Lupus and chronic pain really drains me... and I'm allergic to most "girly girl" skin products.

But I like to:
*splurge on Arbonne International products bought from my best friend (everything is all natural, no harsh chemicals, no un-natural fragrance or dye ingredients and not tested on animals.)
*Wear my very well made, beautiful and comfortable corset & thigh highs hidden under my business suits. (it "improves" my posture

and makes me feel sassy)
*splurge on my favorite vanilla honey scented bath products, almond butter lotions or Hugo Deep Red perfume.
*Dance barefoot in my kitchen.
*apply a little makeup to add color to my pale face and make my blue/hazel eyes stand out.
*get decked out for work and wear my "kick ass boots"
*straighten these G*D Awful curls!
*wear an outfit that's my lover's favorite and smile coy like when I get their attention

*enjoy a candle lit hot bubble bath to wash away the pain
*day dream about my lover sneaking up behind me in the kitchen, wrapping their arms around my waist, nuzzling my neck and whispering "Ummm you smell so good baby."
*having a GOOD hair day!! LOL
*finding a blouse that I don't need a bra with and show off my hourglass curves (scars from my surgery make bras unbearable!)
*seeing the pride in my would-be lover's eyes when they are out with me and their attention is focused on my eyes, smile and laughter.

And "airdrying" after a very hot bath.

I forgot something last night.

Maybe it's the ritual/process of it all or maybe it's the reason WHY I'm doing it but going to the salon and getting hot waxed makes me feel pretty, especially the naughty bits.

Sometimes I like to make all around me pretty.

So that's when I run out and buy new curtains, a bedspread, sheets...maybe a new picture or a frame for an old picture...just very simple things that change my surroundings and refresh me in the process.

I get this...because as a Butch who suffers from illness and is differently
abled, I sometimes wonder if in the eyes of Mrs Daywalker...I am still
everything she fell in love with almost 7 years ago.

Can I still make her smile in that special way from across the grocery
store, and it is difficult to see from my perspective just how much I have
lost during the years. But it does weigh on my mind. I look for ways
to show her the pieces of me that she fell for long ago...
