Room to Grow

Starting the new year off with packing...oh yay! (and i don't mean the kind with a dick!) We get an extra week for the house, which means packing is happening right now, this week. A big crunch to get everything organized and moved, but i am being a helpful and motivated slave by attending to Master's wishes, and not copping an attitude about it.

A slave, with attitude? You say. Yes...slave/boy...there are better, more fun things to do with my time besides clean, and find boxes, and all that responsible stuff. But, i'm getting it done...because Master wishes it.

It has actually been a while since i've had a really bad attitude about attending to Master's wishes. Sometimes at home i'm not doing exactly what She wants right at the moment, but the overall behavior has been better. I think the key is that the internal head stuff has been better. I don't know how well that reflects externally; but i really do FEEL like it has been better. I remember to ask if i can sit on furniture, i am remembering my current affirmation, in the shower, when i leave and come in the house, and when i use the computer. i asked Master if She thought i was doing better, and She said Yes.

9:30 p.m.

OHMYGOD moving is stressful. We have sooooo much stuff. I just want to throw it all out except for my writing...yikes! However, Master has really been a trooper and got the living room bookshelves packed up, and then some. I've got some of the walk in closet done, but the office is still disorganized and stressful to be in here. I've been in here most of the evening though, spending some time online, and getting stuff ready for moving.

We have two volunteers from my job to come over and help move on Monday. We also have two other people who are willing to help us in the evenings. We've got all the utilities set to turn on next Monday and Tuesday. It is hard to believe this is happening so fast. What can i say...A house!

We are going to have a Ritual/Blessing on the house on Sunday evening, with some very cool people. i'm looking forward to moving in with a full ritual.

It's hard to believe that we'll be in a place with a yard, where i can throw frisbees and have water gun fights, and host meetings with our various groups, and play parties.

YAY for Us!

I am grateful to Master for being able to make this all happen. Without Her careful navigation of finances, we would not have had the money to do this. I am grateful to the Universe for providing the means for the right house for us.

It's another New Day of a New Year. I did not have to work today. I spent last night breaking down a gospel show at America West Arena. The co. called and asked if i could work. I asked Master, and since we did not have any pressing plans, She allowed me to go make a little bit of money. I got home before 3 a.m., which was a good thing. We got up today, and i made some breakfast. Eggs, a tortilla for Her, and toast for me. We needed to get out of the house. Arizona has been receiving generous amounts of rain, and they released water from the Dams in the northeast. That meant water in the Salt River for the first time in over ten years. There is a fake lake in Tempe, with an inflatable dam, that is supposed to help control flooding. I wanted to take Master out to show Her water in the dry riverbed. And i was curious about how the untested inflateable dam was working. Fortunately, no buildings or parking lots were floating away, so i suppose some good is coming out of the Rio Salado Project.

Then i drove us back through the city and to the movie theatre. We went to see Phantom of the Opera. First we stopped at Sprouts to pick up some snacks that we had to stuff in our pockets. (i can't eat popcorn anymore, and i can't eat most commercial candy products). The movie was spectacular with all the sets, and cinematography. I have one complaint. The film was very, very active. It did not slow down enough to let us appreciate all the set designer's work. I think this is a fault in the new cinematography technique. Blame it on the TV generation. American films don't know how to slow down. It was an otherwise brilliant piece of work, with bits of funny, and sad, all mixed in.

Not a feel good movie at all...well, because it is a sad, sad love story.

Then we came home. I took a nap, and Master fended for dinner herself. I had baked a cheesecake Friday, and so while we were watching the Iron Chef Preview, i cut us some to enjoy. It was very yummy cheesecake.

And now it is time to go to bed. I'm up tomorrow and off to work. I'm off Monday, i work Tues. and then i'm off wednesday...ugh! Split days off, but maybe i'll be able to get some stuff done around the house with two days off...

Happy New Year!
