Thank Gd the HHD's and Fall Festivals are Finally Over!

Is it terrible of me to be thanking Gd that Mar Cheshvan is almost here?

Thursday evening, as it was nearly time for Simchat Torah services, I was praying that no one would show up so that I could be done already. In the end, we had a nice group together for dancing with the Torah and I made it through the evening no problem. Nevertheless, I could not help having such naughty naughty thoughts.

I need discipline.

Not in the euphemistic fantastical sort of way complete with stern head masters or angry school marms, (of course, I wouldn't mind a bit of that kind of discipline either!) but for real--I am a very undisciplined woman. I have almost no sense of discipline which is one of the reasons why I love both Judaism and BDSM. Both are steeped in ritual and, therefore, both offer loosy goosy folk, such as myself, the possibility of discipline.

Here's seeing if in the intersection of these two passions of mine, I can find discipline...to write regularly!
