TGIF!

It's the weekend and I am really glad to be logging off from my work computer and finishing for the next couple of days. Not that my weekend will be full of fun and excitement.... the weather is hanging onto winter for all it's worth and we have had snow the last couple of days. Today has been a bit brighter at least. The list of things we can do is also much shorter now that we are confined to the house except for necessary errands.

I'm not complaining. A little physical distance never hurt anyone and getting together to socialize CAN actually cause problems these days. Proof of that is the upsurge in cases where I live due to a St. Patrick's Day party. Folks, if IRELAND is scaling back on their celebrations, maybe its a sign that we should too....

Luckily my industry keeps ticking along and I have the option of telecommuting. My clients have all been understanding for the most part although some are a bit prickly. The companies I deal with for my clients are all working at making themselves as available as possible which makes my job MUCH easier. So there may be a delay in getting information.... so what? I can handle things the way they are now.

Master disciplined me recently. I deserved it. I broke the rules. One of our protocols is that I am supposed to kneel before sitting at the table for supper and I forgot. I tend to be a creature of habit and if something happens that interrupts my routine... I go off the rails. In this case, I carried one of the dishes we were having over and then sat down.... that's a no go. Ten lashes with the riding crop. My arse is a bit more tender than it used to be and so they hurt. Hopefully that's all I need to keep me on the straight and narrow.

It's time to call it a day, I think, and get out from behind the computer. It's Friday and that's Master's martini night. I make him one weekly, it's a lovely way to show that the weekend has started and he feels he can relax after that.

Stay safe and healthy everyone, it's gonna get worse before it gets better...

Really REALLY stay at home now

Things are continuing to progress in my little corner of the world in terms of bad stuff. It's hard not to get discouraged sometimes but eventually it will get better. It might take a while but eventually it will. The government has decided that only one person from each household should be venturing out for groceries and supplies. When I asked Master if I would be, he looked at me like I was crazy because, as he put it, "can't have my slave out roaming around getting into trouble".

I've been baking more and finding it more relaxing on one level to be here rather than dealing with a commute every day. Not that I had much of one, mind you, but it was stressful enough. It's odd though. I look at the things that other people are managing to accomplish in terms of organizing and cleaning their houses and I wonder if I just suck and that's why I haven't gotten much done. But then I realize, I am still working 8 hours a day or more if I lose track of time and that eats into one's domestic time. C'mon lottery grand prize!!!

Other than that, not much changes and life continues. I've got a headache today but am trying to not automatically assume the worst. It's getting on to spring here (although the snow we had today would have you thinking otherwise) and for me, spring brings allergies. I suspect that the stuff I have been feeling is just that.... seasonal histamine crud.

Keep on keepin' on and check in on your loved ones if you don't get the chance to on a regular basis....

Stay at Home Slave

It's been way WAY too long since I've logged on but for a long time, not much was happening. We had our home routines and protocols in place, not much play happening (still not much play happening) and it's just been the normal day in, day out slog of things that make it feel like we're just your average, everyday vanilla couple.

The past week though, everything has really changed. Now Master and I are both working from home. Both of our employers have decided that with the current state of things in the world we need to be home where we are safest.

That is fantastic on one hand because it gives us more time together. I am less stressed and feeling more cheerful and Master is quite happy to have me close at hand. On the other side of things, however, there is an ominous feeling going around and it's been hard to stay optimistic. There is also much more of a temptation to "just check ONE thing" for work and end up being on the computer at all hours. We no longer have any kidlets living at home with us so it's too easy to just dive into working for most if not all of the day and night... and that's not good for anyone.

So far, nobody we know is sick and nobody we know has died from this. The numbers of cases where we live are also quite low and are, at this point, not increasing at an overly rapid rate. I hope we can keep it like that but I am not overly optimistic.

What do you do to keep positive and grounded? Feel free to suggest things here and I promise that I'm going to do my best to keep on top of this blog a bit more regularly....

Career Vs Slavery

One thing I've been wrestling with is having a career vs being a slave. On the surface, it really shouldn't be that hard. On the surface I go to work, I come home in the evening, I serve Master and my paycheque goes to support the family. But its not so easy. Or, at least, it has the potential to be difficult in the long run.

I don't mind my job. In fact, on days when things go well, I really like it. For the first time, I've had a career with a chance for progression. And on one hand, I like that idea. I like that I can work hard and progress and get a better job with a bigger paycheque. Because it sure would be handy to have more money available to support the family.

The problem is that doing that will mean I'm out of the house more. I'm already starting to work 10 hour days, starting to think about coming in on weekends. I hate the idea of giving up part of my weekend because that's my time with Master.I'd rather come in early and get work done and then be available right at quitting time, especially since Master is going to be at work and out of the house anyway then.

The problem is that progressing up through the ranks at my company means that there will be more times when I would be away. Our regional manager is away so much and while it works for them, that just isn't what I want. What I want is to be home serving Master.

I'm sure that in time I will get it all sorted out. There's no guarantee that I'd get promoted. There are plenty of people with more experience than me that are in line for the position. There's no guarantee that I will still be with the same company a year or two from now. I guess that I will need to wait and see what the future has in store for me.

Head Cold Kicking My Ass

This weekend was amazing but Sunday night I could feel a head cold creeping up on me. My throat felt scratchy, I was achy above and beyond what the workout and Saturday's beating would have caused. I can tell the difference- this was a bone-deep, draining ache, not sore muscles.

The original plan had been to get up early and go into work with Master today but when I woke up I felt like I had been hit by a truck. My throat was sore and scratchy and I felt so, so tired. I ended up calling in sick and going back to bed. Normally I have trouble sleeping in but it felt like today I got alllll the sleep. For like a month. And I still feel wiped out.

Here's hoping I feel better by tomorrow because I don't think I can swing two days off in a row....

Saturday Night Fun

Tonight was amazing. We may not get the chance to play often but when we do it's spectacular.

After dinner, Master and I went upstairs. He had choked me in the kitchen and that got him in the mood. When we got upstairs, he had me strip down and lay down on the bed on my stomach. I tried really hard to lay still and not move and, for the most part, I was fairly successful. Once I was situated, Master went into our closet and picked out the tools that he was going to use on me.

I could tell from the first few blows that it was our suede flogger. He worked my entire back over and it felt wonderful. He alternated between using the flogger and spanking me and man, can he hit hard! Once he had worked me over for a while with the suede flogger, he went back to the closet and got the rubber flogger out. That is a lot more stingy than the suede flogger is but it all feels great.

He used the rubber flogger for a while then switched tactics again. We recently got a new flogger with falls that are made out of chain. Those scratch, they bite, they thump when they hit me. It's a lot to process and it is easy to tell that if Master wasn't careful with it he could do a lot of damage. He switched back and forth between the chain flogger and the crop but by that time my ability to figure out what I was being hit with was all screwed up and I couldn't figure out what Master was using.

I was told to get on my back. Master started rubbing my cunt which was dripping wet by this point. Then, he started slapping my stomach, my breasts and my thighs. He also crushed my tits in his hands which always sends me over the edge. Master switched back and forth between playing with my cunt and slapping me and finally it was too much. I had come a few times by this point and I needed Master's cock in my mouth.

I love sucking his cock. I love the taste of him. The way he feels sliding in and out of my mouth. I tipped over into sub space and my brain was swimming. Master took some time to stroke and rub me and I was in heaven. My skin was humming and I really wasn't thinking about much other than the need to suck Master off.

Master had me get on my stomach and he took me from behind. It felt so good to feel him sliding inside of me. He started fucking me, his breath hot in my ear. His hand slid down between my legs and began to stroke my clit and I came again. Before long, he was sliding into my ass, slowly, then speeding up. He fucked me hard and then came inside me.

It sometimes takes me a while to process things after Master cums and tonight was no exception. I curled up next to him and loved the fact that we had the time to calm down together.

Getting our House in Order

This weekend was a long weekend for Master and I. We both had Friday off work and he has Monday although I have to work tomorrow. That always sucks. A lot. I tend to miss him a lot more and feel bad when he is home and I'm not there to look after him. We had originally planned to go to the gym as per normal to workout on Saturday but I can't find my ID card and so that was off the table.

Yesterday we worked out at home instead and then I baked cinnamon buns, something I haven't made in over a year. Our oven cooks hot, though, so the buns are a bit drier and darker than I like. They still tasted pretty good, though, especially when topped with cream cheese icing. Master is going to take the rest of the buns into work to give them to the guys he works with since I'm trying to cut back on the fattening stuff I eat.

We had our dinner last night instead of tonight. That's the neat thing about being by ourselves- we don't have to please anyone but ourselves. Who cares if its normal to have Easter supper on Sunday? It worked out better for Master and I so we did what worked.

We then took a look at our finances and made a couple of changes. One big one- I'm not going to have access to my money. On payday, I'm going to transfer my paycheque to Master and he'll hold onto it. Then, when my car loan comes due or a bill needs to be paid or I need to pay for gas, he'll transfer me the money back.

I think it's a good move. It gives us a bigger pool of cash to work with when paying bills and it cuts down on my random spending, something I am still working on. It also moves us towards my being dependent on Master as well, something we both have wanted from very early in our relationship.

The good thing is that if things don't work as intended, or we find it just isn't convenient, we can always just go back to the way things were before.
