i've included an excerpt of an email i sent to a mailing list today.  i'd asked the people on the list what they did to maintain their D/s relationships while out in the working world and i've received some wonderful encouragement.  i received even more encouragement when i got home from work today, from Himself.  

part of the email:

     "i thought i'd share what Master did today. He's gone off to His aikido class, but before He left (assuming i wouldn't be home before He did) He put a note on the table. It started out "... I hope your day went well and this note finds you happy to be home." Then it instructed me to have a glass of wine and change into something comfortable and put on the cuffs, then relax and read my email. It also says to put the oven on at 6:45 and then put the tin foil wrapped potatoes into the oven at 7. He further says "I will be home to cook the rest of the dinner at 8-ish"

i think i just fell in love all over again :)

     And now i'm not so worried.  We might get caught up in the realities of the vanilla world, but i think i've just been shown the strength of our relationship.  And how did i respond?  Well of course i melted and did exactly as He wished, but i also tossed in a vanilla activity that will in turn make His day easier tomorrow.  i might not be here, but i can make a difference.  He intends to do the laundry; i took a moment and sorted it for Him.

      What's that saying?  You can take the girl out of the farm (city, country), but you can't take the farm (city, country) out of the girl.  Who knows ... i am sure i'm not remembering it correctly.  But it seems appropriate here.  You can take the girl out of the 'sub' world, but you can't take the 'sub' out of the girl.  

      Or something like that.
