Treasures and Flesh

X-posted in LJ.

Today was one of the beginning of what I hope will be a streak of climbing back to "normalcy". I woke up at around 9:15am, very shortly after Dragon had left for His first job of the day. Having slept through the night, but for the second night in a row experiencing very odd dreams. Some of them I was very violent, but the very last one bothered me. As it played upon all my worst fears.

I spent all morning absolutely busting my ass around our house. Dragon and I are in the middle of getting the house ready for winter. We live on my family's rural property. During the winter it is not uncommon for one to get snowed in, loose power, and be downright stir crazy here. We are close enough to town that it is a short drive during clear months. However, in bad conditions our road becomes nearly impassable at times.
..so, I have begun to not only "winterize" our indoor residence, I have begun adding touches of "us" to it. Previously I shared this home with my ex boyfriend of 5 years. We are working to better the things he "fixed", finish the projects I started and could not finish without him, and beginning our own! Mostly, I am cleaning the ever living hell out of the entire house. However our guest bedroom, and our living room are my two main goals.

Today I feel closer than ever to being able to begin my first project, and that is the landing tiles in our living room/ sunroom. That room is where we generally entertain, and much to my dismay my family layed down -white- ( i kid you not, white) burber carpeting in there nearly a decade ago. As one could imagine, it has gotten absolutely trashed. So that is getting replaced. I cant wait for this room to be done, as I feel like it will not only be Dragon's room, but  our room. He has been working hard at building me a Windows machine so we can game together.

Our guest room shall come at a later date, as I need paint! My main inspiration for re-doing our guest room, is so that staying here is more appealing. Especially during winter months. I dont want my friends needing to drive home in bad weather.

Today I managed to get the entirety of our remaining rooms, minus the two project rooms mentioned above, spotlessly clean. or, well.. as clean as one can get this farmhouse. It was built in the 1860's! This free's up my time so I'm not combatting the large mess every day. I feel like I have made a huge impact on the houses energy as well. Clean rooms here = pure, good energy.
Not to mention I put our memory foam bed back into our bedroom, which although much smaller than our two full's pushed together, will inevitably be better for both Dragon and my own spine's.

Dragon came home for lunch, and to switch clothing to run off to job # 2. While He was home, He put my lock on my collar, and told me to clean my glass dildo and to have the hand whip ready for Him when He got home. I was also to clean and insert both ben wa balls until He came home... humm.

I spent the evening relaxing, admittedly. I also pieced together a M/s contract. I am hoping to present this on paper to Dragon soon to see if it is to His liking. It is something I have wanted since the day I was collared. However the stipulations I have arranged in this contract are far more binding than I would have asked for during that time. I feel like this will help us both outline our expectations, needs, desires, etc. Something tangible we both can agree upon and reflect upon if need-be.

I took a great deal of time to do this, I actually started it during the small breaks I took during the morning and afternoon. I reviewed several examples of legal documents/ examples of Master | slave contracts before I really started writing. I think I have read it nearly 20 times now, so hopefully it is worth presenting.

I have also spent quite a bit of time reflecting on things today, and beginning to look forward to next weekend. Schwagstock 45! I still am a bit apprehensive over going, as money is quite tight. But the closer it gets the more I have begun adopting the mantra I get in my head while there "be here now". I say that many times a day while at the festival camp grounds during the days we spend there. Being "here now", allows me to focus on only things that I have power over. It also encourages me to "just keep going". Because if there is nothing you can do about a problem, the best thing you can do is wait, and move on to the next. Efficiency..Efficiency..Efficiency..!!

Dragon has returned home with dinner! WOO!
