The Waiting is the Hardest Part

You take it on faith, you take it to the heart

The waiting is the hardest part

Master has been actively helping mouse to become more patient.To not pester Him needlessly but to trust that when He wants mouse or needs a task performed, He will let her know. When Master is at home, mouse will refrain from performing tasks that will gobble up her concentration. Like becoming lost in a book or movie, performing a task that requires some level of concentration -- like some cleaning tasks. it's worth noting that helping children with homework or a school project doesn't count and is expected by Master. 

In the beginning, he would correct mouse nearly immediately, then it was added to weekly demerits and finally mouse got it -- most of the time, so he considered the behavior modification a success, from his point of view. For mouse, however it's difficult to wait to be useful to Him. 

The most common request is for mouse to fetch Him a beverage, a snack or something like that. The second most common might be to display herself, hold something for Him while He watches something on TV. A close third is some sort of sexual use. He will often require mouse to pleasure Him orally whist He watches a movie on TV, sometimes it's a movie that she is already familiar with or knows very well and it's difficult to shut her mind down from mentally following the story and remaining on task of service. Master would usually employ some well-timed hair pulling to bring mouse back to the task. 

This mindfulness has been useful in all areas of our life and has helped quiet the thoughts that would divide her focus. Without all the distractions, mouse finds herself happier. Master is happier too.
