M/s 24/7

Done as much as we can reasonably do tonight. 

De butted the shrimp..

Chopped garlic..

Today went incredibly smooth. 

Tomorrow is its own beast....

Set up is almost done then food prep starts...

So far smooth as can be expected...

The housekeeper has arrived.

The runner has not checked in yet.

The kitchen is ready for prep. 

Im doing some last minute stuff outside.

Im technically working- but nothing to do today which is AWESOME. 

Im working on the collaring crermony...

I think it will start with:

 In our fantasies is where we find the doorway to our inner selves.  When we are blessed in this world we find our other halves who hold the key.  When we take on honorifix within BDSM we embrace not just our true selves but our  collective history.

What do you think? To hokey?

Hors d'oeuvre:

Pesto marinated vegetables 

Shrimp tacos 

Fresh fruit

Salad:

Spring mix with walnuts, pears, blue cheese and a balsamic vinaigrette

Main entree:

Fettuccine Alfredo 

Fresh artisan bread

Pan seared asparagus

Drinks:

My beloved is PURE MAJIK in the kitchen. 

So the ceremony is in 2 days. My beloved is officiating the handfasting and I am officiating the collaring. 

The garden is ready. 

The food is ordered. 

The housekeeper and runner are confirmed.

The house is pre prepped for tomorrow.  

Tomorrow afternoon/evening everyone comes to set up.  

Food prep begins.

Rehersal.

I haven't written my end of the ceremony yet- but neither has My beloved! LOLOLOL!!

I think I am finally a little excited... 

The handfasting/collaring being held at our place is coming up this weekend. Some things are coming into place--- the housekeeper and the person able to deliver groceries are all confirmed..

My beloved has been working on getting the garden cut back for pathways for the ceremony.

The sous chef has had to bow out . That's not actually a surprise. Just means more on us.

 I'm a little bit more excited than I have been. But the swamp cooler is working now so that could be part of why. Everything in life is easier when you're not sweating your tits off.

 The Internet is still down so I can't post anything for school. This has been a disaster this semester. Everything was fine until tonight when a bunch of stuff was due and sure enough they never did show up to fix the Internet. So a bunch of emails and calls had to go out. 

 The van has a cracked head gasket . So we're refinancing  the house to buy a car. Everything was going lovely until I almost lit the kitchen on fire trying to get the Chinese 5 spice to spell the house nice...

Just a side note for anybody who doesn't work in a kitchen don't take Chinese 5 spice and put it in a toaster oven. It will light on fire... So when the appraiser got there Our house smelled like burnt Chinese food...

 Wonder if that increases or decreases the appraisal amount???

 The fridge is on the fritz and the oven is broken.  I think they're working in tandem.

But there is good news. 

Im headed to bed. Next to My beautiful beloved. Good night everyone! 

A few years ago this woman at a play party went to My beloved and asked if she could serve me something to drink . That's perfectly fine.

We encourage these types of interactions at our parties so that people can get a taste of what it's like to serve somebody or to serve somebody in public and have it be about their learning.

So My beloved said absolutely and told her go hand me the cup with both hands and then get out of my way because I wasn't in the middle of teaching somebody else.

Those simple sentences were absolutely  100% on the mark.

If you're serving me then you are also in service to whatever it is I'm doing at that time,  whether it's teaching other people, running a party, or it's running a class. 

Because my focus is on whoever it is that I'm teaching --- when you're in service to me you bring me what I need and you get out of my way.

So the woman brought me something to drink and then she wanted to kiss me

Sure-  fine

Then I waved her away.

She went back to My beloved just devastated. She thought she had done something wrong, she thought that I had been angered by her service.

My beloved had to explain to her that her job physically and emotionally was to drop off what I needed and then get out of my way.

She needed the service to be about me engaging with her instead of the service being about taking care of my needs. 

I still think about that moment from time to time.

How well My beloved legitimately knows so much about me that I probably don't even know about myself .

All questions will be answered.

Master identified poly, butch, non binary,  lesbian in a M/s 24/7 interracial relationship for the last 23 years. 

History: title holder, event organizer, teacher, writer, trainer, speaker, activist, fund raiser organizer, nurse, occasional with restrictions mentor. 

Mostly recovered...

Starting to plan for the 17th. Two friends of ours want to do their handfasting and collaring at our place.

We havent done amything here since Covid started. 

Its only their friends and family- about 8 people. 

They wanted a play party afterwards with us inviting people- but honestly between My beloveds long Covid and my physical recovery- we just dont have it in us. 

We are taking care of the food, gardening, ceremony. 

They will come to set up. 

I am seriously not looking forward to clean up. 

This is very different then how I have been in the past. 

I cant say that I am excited.

Maybe because I am still not feeling good.

Maybe because they dont seem to have answers to basic questions-- like- what time would you like to start the ceremony?

And--- we need to seperate the hand fasting and the collaring because of the kids- how would you like to do that?  

Im afraid my BDSM organizer fire isnt there anymore. 

Maybe thats a good thing? 

Maybe its been to painful to revisit since having to let go? 

Anyone else going through this???

I ate a pickle. Its still in my body.

IT WAS THE SWEET NECTAR OF THE HEAVENS!!!!!

I may just live....
