Where to start?

I really don't know where to start with this blog. So many things have been happening in my working and private life and of course it is all intermingled.

It always makes me marvel when clients describe me as an intelligent woman.  I think at times I probably am.  I mean when my brain is functioning at full capacity and I'm not tired.  Unfortunately my brain is a little faulty.  I can only describe it as 'loose wiring' on an extension lead.  Imagine there are 5 sockets and when 2 or even 3 of the sockets are being used I am working at 75% capacity and most of the time I'm functioning just fine, but more recently all the sockets were being used 24/7 and the loose connection was being pulled out slightly, so my brain was switching on and off.  Consequently I was forgetting appointments, mixing things up and a couple of weeks ago I attempted to have a conversation with a client and all I could get out of my mouth were sentences that were incomplete and made no sense, as the key information was replaced with 'thingy' or the like.  I could not remember enough to construct a sentence on any subject.

To accompany this overload I had a headache.  Not a normal across the temple headache, but what I refer to as a 'pressure' headache.  It was in a certain area of my brain and it really did feel like there was pressure pushing down on me.  I new at this point that I was in  danger of pushing myself too far and who knows what the consequences might be?  Some of you will know that I suffered with a brain virus many years ago and as such I do have a bad short term memory and find certain conundrums etc difficult to decipher.  Most of the time it is too trivial to worry about, but as I'm sure you can appreciate this really worried me.

After some time to reflect and talking it through with a few choice friends I came to the conclusion that I needed to take a step back and find a way of fulfilling my obligations without hitting a crisis.  With this in mind I have reduced my Escorting time up until December.  From now on I will be available during office hours on Monday to Wednesday (9.30am to 4.30pm) I will not be working on Tuesday or Wednesday Evenings or Thursday and Friday day times.  The evenings that I do work and the weekends will be by appointment only and a minimum of 2 hours if incall, although I am happier to do shorter outcalls in the Worcester area.

Please accept my apologies if this makes things difficult for you, but it is only a temporary situation and once I have got my other work back on an even keel I will be able to increase my hours again without risking my health, which I'm sure you would appreciate.

There are a few people I have met that I would normally have commented on, as we had such a great time together and I remember having a conversation about the blog, but that is as far as my memory will go.  I am really sorry if you had hoped I would mention you in my blog, but like I said previously, my memory has been severley affected by what was happening to me and I just don't remember what I was going to write about.  There is always the option of a re-visit and reminding me first hand why I wanted to write about you mind lol.

I'm struggling not to tell you more about my private life.  There has been so much going on recently and some of it is so exciting (especially now the pressure is off a bit) and I would love to share it with you, but I do need to keep an element of discretion.  Of course again, if  you come and visit me I'm happy to chat about what I'm doing etc.

Not so good - My bed has been broken 4 more times since I last mentioned it.  Please, please think about your weight when you come and visit me.  You should know if you sometimes have a problem with the less substantial beds or not and I am relying on you to be honest with yourself when you book me.  I don't think I'm going to be able to keep mending it the way it is, so unless you have a piece of board you can bring with you to put under the kingsize mattress, don't book me if you are a large person.

I'm afraid I've also put a cap on the age that I will accept for bookings.  I am now only seeing men under the age of 65.  It's quite a wide spectrum when you think about it, but I don't really want to see anyone the same age as my son or older than my Mum & Dad and it's something I have considered over time.  If I want to continue enjoying this job, then I really need to work within my comfort zone and I am reasonably confident that I will be within these boundaries, although the capped age may be up for review after a month or two.

The goodnews! I'm going to be staying at the apartment for another 6 months.  I have had relatively few problems, other than a few confused men that haven't listened to instructions properly and have either been approached by a neighbour or actually knocked on the wrong door.  I did have one client last week who not only knocked on the wrong door, he proceeded to be one of the loudest guests I've ever had and didn't seem to realise that I was living in a block of apartments in a quiet, respectable area.  I'm afraid I will not be letting him book again.  It really is important that when I ask you to park up, so I can give you the rest of the instructions, that you stay parked up until I have finished.  Quite a few men have decided because they have hands free they can drive and listen at the same time, but I'm so close to the stopping point they often drive straight past, or are still listening to while in the car park and that is when my neighbours get involved and tap on the window to see if they can help you.  Please don't do this. I want you to drive up with confidence, scan the area for the landmarks given and come straight in.  That is your mission lol.

It's nice to be spending some time back at home for a while, especially with this sunshine.  I've been doing some gardening today and providing we don't have any rain for a day or two I should be able to clear all the branches up from the pruning I have been doing today.  yesterday I mowed the lawn, which had started to look a bit like a field.  It's quite a relief to have it done, knowing that I will have less to tackle in the late spring when everything starts to bloom again and I'll be able to put the washing out on the dry days without getting my feet soaked lol.

MP3 player. I finally bought myself an MP3 player!  I am a complete technique phobic.  I've had my wii at the apartment for 2 months now and it's still not working, as I can't figure out how to do it lol, so the idea of gettinng an MP3 player has been one that has been avoding me for many years, as i really didn't think I would be able to use it.  With some help from some very clever friends (thank you David7even and TophatMark) I have finally mastered what to do and how to not just add music, but make up playlists too.  The most annoying part being that I can't find half of the cds I had to add to it.  I have the cases, but the cds are no where to be found.  I have a feeling that they are in a case somewhere as I used to listen to them on my way to work a few years back and the same batch all seems to have gone.  Fingers crossed they are all together somewhere or I'll have to start trying to replace them.  I am quite proud fo myself it has to be said.

That's all I can think of at the moment.  Please accept my apologies if you called me and didn't get a response in the last few weeks, things are pretty much back to normal now and if you can manage to see me during one of the times I'm free, then that would be great. 


Things to come.  I'm going to be seeing what it is like in Coventry this month.  I'll be staying in a hotel in the South of Coventry from the 23rd October and leaving lunch time on the 27th.  To make it that little bit more special, I will be joined by a good friend of mine from Scotland and her name on AW is Loloscot.  She is a tall, blonde BBW and is a very naughty lady.  We have hosted a party once before together along with SassyAnn and will be hosting our first Duel party on the Wednesday afternoon.  We are also going to be available for duo bookings on the Tuesday and Wednesday.  Otherwise of course I will be working on my own and yep, sorry I an still straight, so FFM does mean you have to work twice as hard to satisfy us both lol.

After that I'll be back home until November and I'll be spending a few days working in the Earl's Court area of London.  Then my last tour of the year will be in Halifax again in December.  Please see my website for details: http://www.curvaceouskate.com

Take care,
