Good morning our beautiful cage family. I been meaning to write this for awhile, but life just seems to get in the way. Well quite a lot has happened since I last posted on here. Hazel's mother came to visit last November and stayed until January, I love them both but two Greek women in the same house is quite the shit show when their personalities clash.
Hazel doesn't work from home anymore, they changed programs on their system and it locked her out. After two weeks of them not being able to fix it, and then refusing to pay her she had enough and quit. She found a new job as a basic secretary, but about a month in quit because the girl training her wouldn't train her and said things to her she shouldn't have. She has a new job working at a large box store for home improvement, she loves what she does and has already been promoted, they want her to move up in the company which is great but it's a long drive from our house and she works a lot.
The good part of this job is they have good insurance and it's nice yet expensive. We are going through IVF and they pay for it for now anyway (if these damn religious nut jobs don't take that away next with all their judgement on womens rights). My beautiful Hazel wants a child more than anything and I'm willing to do everything to make that happen.
We're both doing good just, her working and finishing up her degree, and me taking care of are 5 fur babies, Yes I said 5! We had my dog already, got the great dane, Hazel decided she needed another, and got us a terrier pit mix named Axel which we call asshole Axel. My youngest cat passed away in June and I wasn't going to get anymore cats, my Hazel had other plans we now have a kitten she got from a co-worker. I will say she is a sweet little kitty, but just like my Hazel she has an attitude. So we have an 8 year old shepard pit mix, a 2 year old great dane lab mix, the terrier pit mix he's 10 months, my old garfield cat he's 14 years, and the new tiger striped hell cat, she's 8 months. Welcome to my household, I'm the master and the domestic god of cooking, cleaning, laundry, and fur kid dad.
We actually discused moving to Greece, because of the shit show this country has become. We were looking at part of the country where Hazel's family is from (Sparta, yes she is Spartan , hence why I am scared some of the time).
I have great respect for our neighbor state they just voted to keep abortion rights for women and I couldn't be happier. But, I'm also sad that the state I live in has some of the most restrictive laws against it. We don't even get to vote on the issue, just shut up and live with it. I would hate to hear those words if I were a submissive and had my state as a dominate oh wait I am hearing it.
I'm turning 56 Sunday and I can say I have never seen such division in our country, oh don't get me wrong I have seen my share of racism. I have been called a "N" lover, because my best friend is black (Hazel actualy found him, and we are back in contact again). I've seen the way women are viewed as nothing but sex objects, only good to breed and fix dinner, take care of kids, nothing but second behind a man. But, damn what's next? Take away voting rights, can't work a job, don't speak unless spoken too, sit and look pretty my dear.
I was raised by my mother to respect all women. My Hazel has the most highest respect I can give her for not what she has been through, but the fight she has to put up just with the assholes out there. Comments from men and women just because she is a woman, they dare wouldn't say these things if she were a man.
To all the people on this site and all of our cage family I say this:
Stand up for the person standing next to you, the man that has no voice, the women that has no voice, the human being next to you that has no voice. Keep in mind that we our all humans and all GODS children if you believe. Please don't judge the human next to you or you may find yourself being judged by the human standing next to you for what you thought was right.
I'm human so I can't promise how soon I will be back with life going like a tornado on a rollercoaster in a hurricane drinking burboun. But, I can say we love you all and hope and wish only the best for you and your family.
Love Lion and my beautiful Hazel
