Woman of Leisure

It’s been about seven months now since I felt like I was physically capable of sustaining a phone sex call in a manner worthy of charging for it. My current neurological makeup seems to favor activities which provide a lot of joy, but require very little concentration, and if either of those aren’t true, I run out of steam quickly. Writing for this blog has been oddly difficult as well. There are stories I want to tell, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to tell them here. I write things on FetLife, for my in-flesh kinkster friends who have become my community and local family of choice. Some day I’ll figure out how to translate them here as well. I was talking [read more...]

I’ve recovered enough from my March back injury to un-tether myself from my awesome chiropractors and have a trip back to Houston to visit with the family, including the dubious privilege of attending a middle school graduation, an activity which I can only recommend to those determined to show support and love for one of the participants. I would have expected at least some lessening of the mind-numbing boredom of such ceremonies since mine in 28 years ago, but no. Noooooo such luck. This upcoming week, I’ll fly back home, then turn around and get on a train to Chicago to see a friend act in a show. Obviously, I love her too, because taking the train a day after taking a plane will be… [read more...]

Thoughts from an Energy Rebound

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, like when your old standby allergy medicines apparently interact with your vertigo medicines and you find yourself confused all the time and sleeping 14 hours in a row. And then sometimes, life lobs you a softie, like when you follow your intuition on how to switch up your allergy treatments and find yourself fully energized again with wildly raging lust, having to practically pin your hands at your sides not to start masturbating from the moment you wake up. I think maybe my favorite days are ones where I finally have that burst of ability again after a time of feeling limited. When the question, “Is this going to last forever?” is answered with a resounding “No, you [read more...]

Settling In

I realized today that I’ve been doing something extraordinary for the past ten days: settling in. I think my time in Houston never felt permanent enough to feel like I had settled into any kind of pattern. I remember a stretch of four days where I felt a calm sense that I knew what to expect, and I didn’t have any looming, unknown, massive tasks. Four days out of seven months is not a fantastic record. But we plan to be here in the great plains of central Illinois for at least a couple of years (where the sunsets have, I must admit, been far more spectacular than I remembered… I think it’s a ploy to lull me into a sense of welcome. It’s working.). [read more...]

Rainy days never get me down; I love putting on sweats and going for a walk in warm rain – it feels like taking an emotional shower. And Mondays don’t get me down at all, since Mondays around here are simply catching up on chores after a long weekend of work… usually. This Monday was supposed to be different, though. Some kids in my family are on spring break, so we were going to take the dogs to the dog park (kids! dogs! mayhem!), but a thunderstorm blew in and blow away our pretty plans. Welcome to Houston, Galiana. Remember how heavy the rainstorms feel here? In Austin, they always felt like they were blowing through, but in Houston, they feel like they’re pulling up [read more...]

The plan for Thursday night was: * see how I felt all day, and if I felt good enough, log on for an hour or two tonight * when I had everything set up and ready, log on for phone sex as Smart Fun Galiana, but not Mistress Galiana or Hypno Galiana (to get SFG back up in the listings rankings)  * as I waited for my first call to come in, post a “Hey! I’m back!” blog post — but I didn’t want to post one before I logged in, just in case the situation changed and I didn’t get on * between calls (if they came in), draft a “Hey! I’m back!” email to send via in-system mail to (hopefully) drum up calls [read more...]

I took a 36-hour break from being logged in to NiteFlirt. In theory, it was my first day off in over a month. In reality, Thursday was a true night off, where I did nothing “productive” while I watched a Mythbusters episode and chatted with friends. But on Friday, … I registered galianachance.net (hosted by a company who is fine with adult content, and who offers WHOIS privacy – nice). The host hasn’t enabled it, and there’s nothing on it yet, but it’s mine! I took the first steps to research blogging, e-commerce, and content management packages for when my site is set up. Those are long-term projects, but it was interesting to look into, and much less intimidating to think about now that I’ve [read more...]

Apparently I needed a day off, starting about 6 pm yesterday, because my energy just went ffffffft, and even the thought of talking with my favorite callers seemed confusing. When I find myself suddenly wondering, “How do I do this job?” then it’s time for a break. Because I know how to do this job when I’m at full power. The cold can be a little rough for me – temperature swings of more than about 30 degrees can make me a little dizzy, so going from warm house / cold car / warm restaurant / cold car / warm house is four little dizzy-making opportunities. I needed to leave the house yesterday, so I did, but I think it’s what drained me. Also, I [read more...]

Although I’ll also update my calendar page, I thought I’d give you a heads-up on my holiday whereabouts. Mon Dec 20: going to the dentist, which means I’ll be heavily medicated and need recovery time, so I probably won’t be on at all, and if I am on, I’ll have the remnants of a legal roofie (rufi? rufie?) in my system, so I’ll likely be mostly incoherent, which, hey, is someone’s fetish, right? That was a long-ass sentence right there, man. Heavy. Tue Dec 21: on like normal. Wed Dec 22: traveling to be with family, which also requires heavy medication. If I come online late at night, I’m likely to be ditzy as hell, but probably easily amused. Thu Dec 23-Mon Dec 27: since [read more...]

Yesterday I talked a ton on the phones (yay me), so today I’m indulging in some pampering and a quick at-home photo shoot. I know, I know, I haven’t finished my pictures from September yet, but these are a few requests I’ve gotten that suddenly sound like fun to shoot today. I never considered myself a girly girl until this job. I mean, honestly, just look at that paragraph – I’m pampering myself and then taking pictures of me? For fun? Who is this person? Where’s the tomboy who spends her spare time covered with mud at the dog park, or building a workbench for the garage? Apparently, since my Inner Tomboy got so much attention for 39 years, the girlier parts of me have [read more...]
