OK, so between clients...

I do theoretically have a great deal of free time to do all these amazing things with my life. So what is it that I do?

There is always some Prep work to do for the massage business. Every appointment is treated like a first date. The rugs are vacuumed, floors are swept, I shower and shave, the bathroom is cleaned, the massage creams are checked and filled, candles are lit, tissues are checked, phones are checked to be sure they will not make any noise, the CD’s are checked to be sure that there is a variety of music available, white sage is burned to clear the energy of the room, deodorizers are sprayed to be sure everything smells fresh, the massage table is prepared with fresh linens, and the fresh towels are made ready. Two to three times a week I do laundry so it doesn’t become overwhelming with the linens and the towels (fresh sheets, face cradle, and towels for every massage). I make a monthly run for supplies of creams, candles, oils, bottled water and the like. 30 minutes before an erotic bodywork session, I will watch porn to be sure that I am in the mood.

When the mood strikes me, I work on this Blog. One of my main goals over the past two years has been to do more writing. This Blog is only one of my projects. I have also started a real self help book. I have started two plays. I have started my autobiography. So I have started a lot of projects but have finished none. I need to work on that. I have discovered that I do my best writing after I have had an orgasm. This is a bit counterproductive since I also do sensual work. I need to be able to have an erection at a moments notice for my clients so I can’t just start the day with an orgasm and get to writing. There is a proper balance to be found somewhere here, just not sure where. I bet that most people do their best work after an orgasm. Something for all of you to think about and perhaps try in your daily lives.

I do my exercises between clients when I remember to, I do not have the exercise gene that makes me want to do it every day. I have been into looking for healthier recipes on line. One of the worst things about working from home is the constant availability of food, so I am trying to surround myself with healthier foods and really do eat an apple a day.

I surf the net. I do some advertising online and of course try to answer any emails promptly. I manage a couple of Yahoo groups. I also just like surfing.

I watch daytime TV. I admit it. It is at times a real addiction. I love the View. Every time I watch that show, I thank god that I am not a woman. I saw the exodus of Star, the whole Rosie 9 months and the fight with Elizabeth. Whoopie is on it now and she’s doing well. Barbara still embarrasses herself every time she makes an appearance. I have decided that I would be a great daytime talk show host. People naturally open to me, they like me, and I like to think that I could offer a much more realistic point of view. I have been around the block a few times, I understand people.

I clean the apartment, organize closets, cook meals. I am a good little house husband.

I should be reading books, when I find a good one I race through it. If a book doesn’t really grab me in the first chapter, I will probably never finish it. I do a lot of Sudoku. Keeps my mind sharp, I only do the Fiendish ones now.

Occasionally, I will go to a museum or watch a movie, though not often. If I don’t have a client scheduled for the day, I usually will spend the morning on my advertising and sit around waiting for the phone to ring or checking my email, so leaving the house is a rare thing for me.

Christmas is coming up and I am already trying to figure out where to put the tree. It will take at least two days to decorate. I tend to go a little overboard at Christmas.

I will occasionally set up a massage exchange, even pay for a massage once in a while. I take baths. I have learned to love a good soaking bath. It took some time. I used to get really bored after the first 10 minutes, but now with my Sudoku book I can stay in there for an hour easily. It is great medicine and I highly encourage everyone to do it.

I will occasionally do some activist work fighting for gay rights. I have all of my senators and representatives both local and national listed in my email addresses so I can send them an email anytime I read about something that I think they should know about or if read that they did something stupid.

Things that I should be doing: Reading more, writing more, making a 5 year plan, figuring out how to buy a house, bettering myself with classes and figuring what I should do next with my life. I will try to work on that as well.
