It’s a precious time in life – while the daily chores and expectations are demanding, it all seems worth it when we sit down to dinner.

Per Master’s instruction, i am to prepare the evening meal with attention to detail. This means setting the table in an attractive manner, nice place settings, and visual presentations of the food. What’s happened is that it’s been an effective tool to create a lingering at the table. Even our teenage daughter likes to sit down and chat for a while – i’m grateful for this time as she’ll be leaving for college next fall. (she’s unaware of our peculiarities)

So while a BDSM lifestyle to an outsider can seem filled with pain and torture, the reality is that it forces me to focus on things such as this. To be perfectly honest, without this imposed structure and discipline i’m a rather scattered person. Over the years i’ve learned to rein it in and stick to a working schedule but when it comes to household duties or chores…i’d give them an effort but nothing too major.

What i’m finding is that by keeping Master S’s wishes in the foreground, i’m becoming a much more efficient individual. He’s fair and mindful, which is the reason i’ve embarked on this journey anyway. If He was a typical male (egoic) then it’d be a fight to the finish. As it is, i’m becoming more and more comfortable bending to His will.

Time for dinner…gotta run!
