I don't mean kinky things particularly. I mean the everyday kind of things that you detest or struggle with mightily. For example I remember Polly Peachum describing having to keep her dying mother-in-law company. And here, Carolyn (and I sincerely apologize for mentioning you in the same breath as Polly, Carolyn; no comparison is intended) has discussed how difficult mastering bellydance to her owner's expectations has been for her. My bete noir is getting my son to school every morning. I have terribly low energy in the winter and want to sleep all day, so it's torture to get out of bed early 5 days a week and have to wrangle two kids into clothes and through breakfast and out the door for a half-mile-each-way walk. The miserable Washington winter weather pretty much guarantees the walk will be unpleasant. I loathe the whole business with the passion of a thousand white-hot suns. On top of all that, I don't even particularly want to be sending him to public school -- the plan was to homeschool but I sadly had to realize that with my depression it's not feasible at this time, and the final decision to enroll him was my master's. So literally the only thing propelling me out of bed and down the street is the knowledge that my master expects it of me. How do you deal with your most difficult duties? Krista It's just a part of the utterly pretentious way things work in some people's minds. They think they are from the "old way" or whatever, that BDSM is more elevated and literary and classical than plain sex. 10 Feb 08, 9:43 PM 862-203-011 AU, 23 mths When Master makes one go walkies in the morning. He bounces out of bed at 5-5.30 AM and drags one along. To make matters worse, He extols the virtues of the sun rising over the sea and chirps good morning to fellow masochists. This is all before coffee. You totter back all sweaty and in need of a shower. It kills easing into the morning. Did one mention, this is before coffee.

I have discovered (and my owner is permitting) the amazing qualities of caffeine tablets right before exercise at 5:30 am. They're much faster than coffee. Perhaps you could sniff the coffee beans while swallowing one of these to get you going? (Of course, chocolate would be better, but my owner is not inclined to give me a blank check where chocolate is concerned.) Carolyn "Each moment opens like a flower. The age of miracles comes every hour on the hour.

Krista Hi krista, It sounds to Me like this is more a standard Mummy trial rather than a slave one - getting My screaming toddler into clothes is without doubt the hardest part of My day! Hopefully when your depression lifts a bit you will find it easier honey. Meanwhile Im banking on the enormous tantrums about clothing stopping when My little one is three... ~ *Mistress Tiara* 10 Feb 08, 11:01 PM 702-688-374 US, 2 yrs 862-203-011 wrote: When Master makes one go walkies in the morning.

That sounds more like a case of a morning easing into killing.

Back when our first go at M/s was on the rocks Master dropped the ball entirely (while working out what it was he really wanted and why it was ok when society said it really wasn't) except for expecting me to make him coffee. He drinks a lot of coffee so this was an ongoing 6 or 7 cups a day trips to the kitchen to make it just so. I've never wanted to be primarily a service slave and when there was no other service but coffee retrieval I began to hate coffee, I built it up in my mind to be the most horrendous of tasks. This went on for months and became bigger and bigger in my mind even as I tried to dutifully obey until finally I couldn't take any more. I'm sure there were a few screaming and crying fits by the end all based around coffee which became the focal point of my resentment. Now that we are trying again he generally makes his own coffee and the few times he has told me to make it for him I have been able to fight off the angry weasel in my brain and breathe deeply, smile and walk gracefully (with minimal stalking) to make it (not as quickly as I'd like and not without a quick scowl though). Each time I've made coffee and it hasn't killed me the lesson is learned and it is a little easier for me the next time. It does help that now it's not the only thing expected of me though. ~magdalena 11 Feb 08, 12:27 AM Masters_zero 2 yrs For me it is very difficult to sit and do nothing except provide company. When i am told to just sit at His feet or under the desk and just...sit. For one as driven and goal-oriented as myself, it all seems so frivolous and nonproductive. Since i have virtually never been bored, i also tend to look upon being bored as a sign of either laziness or 'non-creativity'. i try to look at it as providing a service so therefore it ~is~ productive. It doesn't work. ~ i have no need for your reality, thank you. i have my own.~ 11 Feb 08, 12:36 AM 862-203-011 AU, 23 mths 455-162-329 wrote: (snip to get to the pertinent part) I have been able to fight off the angry weasel in my brain and breathe deeply, smile and walk gracefully (with minimal stalking) to make it (not as quickly as I'd like and not without a quick scowl though).

Before coffee, the weasel wins. Hands down. May be that is the problem. It is not the lack of coffee. It is possession by the weasel. Of course now the question is, how does an atheist and an agnostic get rid of demonic possession?

Edited 11 Feb 08, 12:41 AM by Lord_of_Winter 11 Feb 08, 1:14 AM 688-764-833 US, 2 yrs The most difficult thing for me is smoking only three cigarettes a day and eroticizing them. I was a pack a day smoker and, pre-master, I knew I'd cut down or quit on that mythical “one day” in the future (enter master: welcome to the future, the future is now). He's a non-smoker with a smoking fetish so he doesn't want me to quit, just not have the need to smoke very often. He's slowly cut my daily intake over the past year. It would be easier to forgo them altogether, I think, but that is not in the cards at the moment (and part of me is panicky at the thought of never smoking again). Cheers, Lessie Next page
