Everything is Better

Master wants mouse to blog, to write about her slavery in a meaningful and authentic way. To practice mindfulness as she goes about her day, whether in His presence or not, to keep her thoughts present and focused on Him. It begins as each day, with morning service, the slave serves Master a light meal, coffee and pleasures Him orally if He wishes. If Master is pleased to use a different hole it is her pleasure to oblige, parting her legs, bending over, as He indicated. 

After Master departs for work, mouse's day truly begins. Donning the apron Master was kind to give her as a gift, mouse puts on the rubber gloves, and begins to wash up the morning dishes and pans. Master refuses the use of the dishwasher for now, to remind His slave how fortunate she is to have such devices at her disposal. The slave considers, as she washes the morning dishes, how grateful He still allows the use of the washing machine. Drying and putting away the dishes, pots, pans and coffee maker, mouse begins the next task of scrubbing the toilets, washing the floors and vacuuming the bedrooms. Starting a load of laundry mouse is reminded again how fortunate to have this luxury, especially after transferring them to the clothes dryer. It's a bit strange since mouse always found the task of folding and putting away the clean clothing to be loathsome task, it feels different now. Being reminded that these things are available to the slave, to ease the drudgery of cleaning, is a huge blessing for her and something she should be grateful for. 

Just the act of hand washing a few dishes taught mouse a valuable lesson, one otherwise she might not have otherwise so cleverly learned. Quickly, she sends Master a "good mid morning" text message, to inform Him that many of those pesky morning chores are nearly completed and to thank Him for the latest in a long line of lessons she's relearned. Promptly she finishes up the morning chores, washes her hands and fixes a quick lunch for herself, consisting of salad, a small sandwich and piece of fruit. 

The afternoon chores include more dusting and vacuuming then, beginning the dinner preparations. Another text message is sent to Master keeping Him informed of her progress as she moves through the day. Also a way to let Him know that she is doing work and not just loafing about, while He works doubly hard. When Master arrives, mouse is there to take His coat, hat if He's wearing one and briefcase. All are placed in the hallway closet, then as He sits in His favorite chair, mouse fetches Him a beverage (usually ice water or unsweetened ice tea) and removes His shoes. He usually smiles as mouse does this. 

Then she rises and hurries back to the kitchen, returning frequently to Him to make sure He's happy and has everything He would want. Sometimes He'll have a small snack, depending on the time He gets home and how long before dinnertime. Lately, He has been getting home earlier than He used to, so we're adjusting by eating earlier. Still, He will often have a small snack, which mouse brings to Him. A small plate of cheese, olives, almonds, maybe a pear (sliced). It's His time to decompress after a likely difficult day and not a time to be pestered a lot. 

Things are different and better now, Master doesn't want mouse to worry about doing 5 things for Him, instead focus only on Him, if there's time for extra things it's fine but keeping Him in her thoughts all the time should be more the standard. It's taken mouse a long time to completely understand how He likes things. Sure He could have just laid it all out and told mouse everything He always expects but He doesn't feel that's right. Master said He wanted mouse to realize this on her own and find that joy in her heart without being told that it should be there. 

Still there's a struggle to find any joy in scrubbing toilets, however, for mouse finding mindfulness is becoming easier for her. After so many months of struggling with life, suddenly the pieces seem to fit together and its blissful. Rediscovering the pleasure in service to Master has been truly a blessing and boon.
