Rebecca

 so, yesterday I called Rebecca. She was at work but called me back later in the evening. We talked from about 7pm to 8:30 NM Time.

She told how she'd gotten divorced 4 years ago...it sounded due to his infidelity. She said she's Catholic -- and that wasn't going to change -- but she never used the word god.

Last October she underwent a 7-hour operation to have a herniated, calcified disk removed from her spine. The surgeon took a piece of her rib to replace the disk and it will take about a year for it to fully heal. In the meantime, she'll have to be careful of her back.

She expressed an attitude toward her life events that they offer learning opportunities, but described an event in which she raged, FULLY, against having had a child who had cancer, a husband who wasn't very satisfying in bed, she got laid off six months after moving to Tucson and has not made any friends there and doesn't enjoy the people...they're not as friendly as they are in the South where, she described walking around the block, people would invite you in for tea and banana bread.

She's been a runner for years and raised, over the last five, $20,000.00 for cancer research. She loves camping and is thinking of backpacking in Ireland. She REALLY wants to backback in Japan, but feels it'd be better to start someplace a little closer...like Ireland.

Her son is 14 and when I suggested she not push him away or encourage him to "separate" from her, she said I needn't worry, "he's a real Momma's boy." 

She talked about their love but said it wasn't the same as that of an adult male. She said she grows so tired of making all the decisions she is drawn to BDSM so she can be a submissive. She was aware of Desert Dominion, the BDSM group in Tucson, but, apparently, hasn't connected with them.

At the end of the conversation I asked her to write a "scene" and complete it by 8pm Sunday evening. She said she'd do it.

We both enjoyed the conversation and I'm inclined to think, in spite of the 22-year-difference in our ages, she's 45, she may be my next "client."
