I hope that you have had a calm day so far because I have earth shattering news.
I have bought new trainers.
I know- amazing, isn’t it?
I should have bought them about six months ago. I have run about 1500 km in my last pair and when I went to put them on the other day they scuttled under the table and refused to come out. They said that they had done enough and no trainer could be asked to do more.
So I shopped and after running in my new pair I remembered how hideous it is breaking in new trainers.
(If you are wondering about the spanking link then you need to be more patient. I am getting there.)
I have run in the new trainers only about three times and my feet hurt and my left big toe is swollen and it hurts to walk. I hate new trainers.
Speaking with Himself last night though I was reminded of the answer. The answer is ice.
Normally, I disagree with the use of ice on bodies on principal. I think that ice is for mojitos (or maybe a gin and tonic) and to use it for other purposes makes ice sad and feel it has given its life for nothing.
I also disagree with ice because it is ignoble to be over someone’s lap with an ice pack held on your bottom while Himself explains to you that this will get rid of the bruising.
I must tell you that I am rarely bruised by Himself. I was in fine fettle the day that I got the bruise, I may have been somewhat tricky to keep an eye on but he managed it, much to my chagrin. Well, it was not just an eye he kept on me, I am sure you get the idea.
Either way, I do not like being upside down with ice on my bum, it feels most embarrassing and he did not even say sorry.
Ice on toes made sore by new trainers works very well though, it brings down swelling and bruising.
Who would have though Himself knowing a thing like that?
(Has anyone else got that Vanilla Ice song in their head now? Sorry about that if you have.)
i was enjoying the blog and did not have that song in my head at all til you mentioned it and now i am sure i wil spend the rest of the day humming or just all out singing ice ice baby…so this is where i thank you on behalf of my coworkers…lol
Whatever I can do to help!
If anyone is mean to you about it just do the dance – no one could be mad at you if you danced like that. They might even encourage you to take a little time off.
if i do the dance they might whip their phones out and film it with me ending up on youtube…lol
See Poppy, ice can be used for other purposes than mojitos, and I bet you look so cute over Himself's lap with an icepack on your bare bum. After all, he is only looking out for your well being.
~Ice ice baby, Ice ice baby~ Arrrggghhh!!! Now you have me singing that song! Thank you soooo much Miss Poppy.
Himself said much the same as you Michael and I ignored him too!
It is a great song, we could do one of those massive dances to it in … oh, never mind. I think I have brain freeze.
You are very good at ignoring people and situations you don't want to deal with, Poppy, right up until the time they rise up and smack you on the bum. *G*
I see you are well over 1,000 visitors in such a short time. Congratulations and it comes as no surprise. Keep up the great work.
Poppy, a very nice post, I love a girl who can express herself well.
I'm pleased to say that I don't know that song.
I do know the hippopotamus song, would you care to join me
I'll bet that you look very cute over His knee with an ice pack on your bottom. WEG
Warm hugs,
Paul.
I am so excited – over 1,000 visitors!
The hippopotamus song? I know the "Mud, mud, glorious mud" song. Is it that one?
I did NOT look cute over his knee, I looked the picture of innocence wronged and you would have wept to see such terrible abuse.
I think.

Hi Poppy,
I agree with you on the ice. I actually like to sit on a little bruise now and then. It reminds me that I've been well spanked. I makes me think about getting spanked, too; and that usually arouses me. I certainly like the feel of my bruise much better than having to hold an ice pack on my bum. By the way, I'm not Anonymous, but I don't know what a URL is. I'm Handsdown.
Hi Handsdown,
I do not know what a URL is either, i just do stuff and preview until I get the answer I want- a bit like life!
I do not mind the odd bruise either but then I do not tend to see them. I think what I quite like (although I will not admit this if asked by some other people) is that feeling of soreness that stays for ages, the thing that makes you squint a little when you sit down, the feeling when you look at a chair through screwed up eyes before you sit in it- as though the chair is the cause of your pain.
I get fractious if someone attempts to spank me and does not do a good job, I think it is the kind of thing that if you are going to do it then do it properly. You may have given me an idea for a post- thank you!
Poppy, yes that's the one, when the whole pub sings it, it lifts the roof.
I still think that you would look cute, but a lot of girls like their marks and bruises.
Warm hugs,
Paul.
You could count me among their number Paul, but keep it quiet.
Unless – hmmm, thinks. Now I do not know about this , I am no switch, but is there a skill to being all Toppy (don't make me say the words) and doing lots of Toppy things but not leaving a mark or a bruise?
I wonder because if one is the type of girl to be a little naughty on a regular basis and if one is lucky enough to have a day in-day out "get his hands on you whenever he wants" type of Top then could not a bottom end up hardened and damaged by regular marks and bruises?
Do some Tops take pride in being able to sort a girl out thoroughly without leaving a bruise?
I do not know. I am not on that end of it, I have enough to worry about at my end.
Sore, lasting ouchiness doesn't have to come with bruises or welts or tramlines from a cane, and I am firmly in the camp of Tops who prefer to cause such ouchiness without them, though my tent may be the only one in that camp. Obviously I'm not always successful, but then I will treat such marks as what they are, burst superficial capillaries that need to be healed, by whatever means I can manage.
I have it on good authority that bags of frozen peas work wonders as well, although I believe those to have more a general numbing effect as opposed to the specific cubes-to-injury application I prefer.
Anyway, glad your foot feels better, and whaddaya mean, who would have thought I'd know that?
Hrumph!
I thought I was being rather good as I did wonder if there was a skill to sorting a girl out without leaving marks, that was close to a compliment of your methods.
I dislike the cubes to injury thing, now that you know that I shall expect a huge change in your practise.
As for you knowing something, I thought it worth remarking upon – you could take it as a compliment you know.
