ironing 101 – domestic duties

Okay, putting the topic of sex aside for right now…(don’t worry, there’ll be plenty more of that later!)  Here’s just a snapshot of my afternoon.

Part of my slave duties includes making sure Master is presented in an impeccable manner. i wash his body in the mornings, shave Him, apply His deodorant and ensure that even his neckline is trimmed and never shaggy. Those are just a few things.

Another section of my responsibilities lies in His wardrobe, so today i’m ironing a week’s worth of shirts for Him to wear to the office. When i first began doing this, i’d iron a single shirt at a time but have managed to come up with a system to make it easier on me as well as allow for more flexibility as the occasion necessitates.

When hanging shirts up after they’ve been washed, i like to make sure they’re all facing the same direction. Then i button only the second button from the top and place them on the hanger that way. This is an easy way to identify which ones are  

Then i choose five shirts from his selection – making sure there’s a variety of colors – then bring them to the ironing area. When i pull shirts from the walk-in closet, i can quickly differentiate which ones haven’t been ironed due to my own little cataloging system. i place the ironed shirts on the left side of that particular section of the closet.

After i’ve ironed the five shirts, the top two buttons get buttoned in order to keep the neckline straight and prevent that little “floppy fold” that happens. Y’all know what i mean by that!  

In this manner, i can quickly identify which shirts have been ironed, and which ones are next in rotation. It’s not rocket science, but just one of those simple time-saving techniques I’ve developed. So if anyone else out there has domestic duties, this just might help!
