Hello Cage Family! I'm sorry I've been gone so long! But I promise that I have the very best excuse....
SIR AND I ARE FINALLY LIVING TOGETHER!!
After 14 months, and all of this travel, we are finally able to go to bed together every night and wake up together every morning.
We originally planned for him to move down a week or so later than he did, but then the pandemic hit the U.S. and some states started issuing Stay at Home Orders, so he threw everything he could in his truck and drove down to Florida so he could make it to me before they closed our borders.
His new job is fully remote so he works from home and shortly after his arrival my job allowed me to work from home for a month, so we spent all of April living in 24/7 D/s bliss. The transition from only weekends together to now being together every day, has been pretty flawless. We’re still learning how to deal with new situations and circumstances, creating daily routines and rituals that we couldn’t properly develop in a long distance relationship, and learning the depth and boundaries of our power exchange when it comes to sharing a living space and both working full time jobs. But any anticipated friction with the learning curve hasn't really been an issue. Both of our expectations seem to have been met and our desire and need for each other continues to grow.
So, what have we been doing with all of this time together? Ropes, ropes, and more ropes! We - like everyone else - got tired of being cooped up in the house and so we decided to maintain our social distancing by going out exploring in nature. I also got an aerial swing stand for Sir for his birthday, so we’re able to do suspensions at home. It’s been a lot of fun and these past couple of months have allowed us to really develop our Rigger and bunny roles. Sir’s skill set has flourished, allowing us to do much more dimensional and complex scenes, and my trust in him and my own progress in learning and understanding what is good/normal rope pain versus what is bad/unsafe rope pain has allowed us to test our limits and see what beautiful and creative poses we can create.
Another focus in the past month has been the DDlg side of our dynamic. Even though it was me who brought DDlg to the relationship, it has been him who has really cultivated it and made it into a part of our daily routines in a way that doesn’t deter from the D/s power exchange - but still gives me a safe place and time to be little and him an area in the dynamic to express his Service Top nature. We’ve added pacis and sippy cups to our “toy collection” and onesies have become pretty common evening attire for me. We’ve also created a post-shower routine in which he sits on the bed while I finish drying off and putting on my lotion, and then I bring him my hairbrush and detangler and sit at his feet while he combs my hair out. It’s one of my most favorite moments of the day.
Another thing we’ve started doing is reading to each other. We have a grown up book and a little book that we’re simultaneously reading. In the afternoons or early evenings, I’ll read a chapter aloud to him from our grown up book, and then at bedtime he’ll read me a chapter from our little book. Right now our grown up book is Selling Water by the River, an interesting and thought provoking book by a Christian pastor who shines a light on the ways that organized religion often inhibits rather and cultivates a meaningful relationship with the Creator. And our little book is Charlotte's Web, a classic.
I love this time spent reading. His voice is so deep and smooth and it calms my soul and warms my heart. And I also enjoy the time I spend reading aloud to him. To anyone who isn’t a little, or a submissive, this may seem very odd - but I get a feeling of pride when I read out loud to him. Like, “hey look at me, see what a good reader I am?” and although I’m an educated and intelligent woman (by IQ standards), I still enjoy when I stumble on an uncommon word and Sir asks me to spell it and then he helps me pronounce it. He’s Daddy Dom-ing me in those moments and he doesn’t even know it.
Now that I’m back in the office for work, and Sir and I have pretty set schedules, I’ll begin blogging more often again. While I was “away”, I was still logging in quite regularly to check on my favorite bloggers and peruse the forums. But I’ve missed socializing with you all and so I’m happy to be able to share with you all the good news of our new living arrangements.
I hope everyone is healthy and safe during this scary time!
Xoxo
