May! A big month for me in certain ways. Also, where did it go?

• Writing wise, I stuck to my goal of writing for at least fifteen focused minutes daily. I didn’t post that much, but I made a lot of progress on some future updates (stay tuned!). I did post “Time, Nature, and Submission”.
• Next month, I’m keeping my goal the same.

• I taught one class this month: “Productivity for Service” for Pragmatic Kink. Thanks to everyone who came and the PK team as always.
• Next month, I’ll be teaching “Professional Standards for Service” for PK on 6/6, and “Schizophrenia in the Scene” for House Exeter on 6/22.

• We had two Las Vegas TNG events this month: two of our usual munches. Thanks to Mistress for playing backup host for the latter one.
• Next month, we’ll have two of our usual munches on the 5th and 19th, if you happen to be 18-35 and local to the Vegas area.

Other updates from this month:

• Read some great books. Favorites included Saving Time by Jenny Odell and Beyond the Wand by Tom Felton.
• Still been working on a bunch of really important medical stuff.
• Spent some really great time with family and friends, including some time in nature and a great Mother’s Day weekend with the best mom in the world.
• Made some good progress on the butler school course. Officially working on Module 12!

Thanks for everything this month; have a happy, healthy, and safe June!
