September 25th Monday Diary

Awake 10ish, with check out time  noon.

I mentioned how mad I was last night about the tablet volume thing, and she got mad that I was telling her NOW and not last night when it happened.
So,  she said in a quiet voice, "Turn over on your stomach, Please."
I knew what was coming,  and with a little feeling of  "OH BOY" and a lot of feeling of "UH OH" I rolled on my stomach.  
She pulled down my briefs to my thighs, and fetched the new leather paddle (that she won in a raffle at the last party she went to) and .... smacked across my buttocks with it a dozen times, and it HURT LIKE HELL! then she applied another 12 vertical swats, various fast, not as hard.
The discussion was over.
We got up n showered n dressed n packed the car.
She went to the front desk and checked out, and were on our way
First stop  gas station  then
 LA Purisima State Park and Mission  (12:15)
Then a stop at Anderson's, to take pictures  (12:50)
Then Ostrichland (13:00)
Then to Solvang (13:30) where we parked, and walked around, checked out a couple bakeries, a gift shop, an antique store...
Started looking for lunch.
The Mermaid Cafe seemed to have  80% Mexican food, we kept going.
The Big Bopper  was an order-at-window-sit-outside place, we kept going.
We settled on Paula's Pancake house, which was inside, had a useful restroom...
Lunch was good, service was excellent.   Too many flies, though, because the front door was kept open.
15:30 in car, and went for a drive to the Hans Christian Anderson State park.   We drove through there, then headed on out via 246 to the 101. 
We stopped in Santa Barbara, at the Mission just to use the bathroom
And kept on rolling.
17:00 through Ventura:  Merry had a list of things she wanted to do in Ventura but too late now...  so we decided to, on some weekend, or rather a Friday when I'm off, to make a day of it in Ventura.... quite possibly on my birthday weekend. 
We had thought to attend a Munch at a Denny's in Sherman Oaks.
but it started at 19:30, and it looked like we would arrive at 18:30 to 18:45, so we ditched that, and from the 101 east, I took the 405 south and headed home.
Merry called Stitch when we were 10 min. away, to see if he wanted to join us.  He answered the phone! and he did want to join us. We stopped at home, he got in, and we went to the Black Bear diner.
Home again 21:00
I read Sunday's paper; Merry went to bed (Stitch had put clean sheets on the bed in our absence).
At 22:00 I watched the new show  "Good Doctor"
  then went to bed.

How I felt when she told me to roll onto my stomach.

September 24th, Sunday diary

Another lazy morning  until 1300

Awake moving around...some football

14:30 in car   to  99c store,  then Ross  then  'home'
I read papers that I acquired....
She napped

Up 19:30  and out to dinner, at Anderson's, again.  We over tipped a good waitress the first time: Merry did not tip this one at all.

back in room.... channel surfing...
"Miss Congeniality" was on, which she likes, so we left it there.
I turned on my tablet, to watch CYE, and she said, "Your tablet is louder than the t.v."
So I turned it off, and rolled over and went to sleep.
I was mad...furious...but I did not say anything then.... yet I also knew I was really too tired to watch it, so it really didn't matter that much.

Wish I was waiting MY turn

September 23rd Saturday Diary

Hanging around motel, half sleeping...etc  until

15:00 out   
   to Chumash  (15:45)
She played slots while I found one monitor out of like 30 that had the OU Baylor game.

It was too stressy for me at the end of the 3rd, so I found her, and pulled her away from a machine, and we went to the buffet.

After gorging at the buffet, I had a BAD attack of diarrhea, and could not get to a toilet in time.   Quite a mess in my shorts.

We returned to motel  roughly 2100

and sleep.

I was honestly AFRAID to ask for this in our motel room
When I had a panic attack, it's because I was thinking about it.
