Mystress Back to Old Self
Good evening all.
The year zips by and i am happy to say my dear Mystress is well on her way to being back to her wonderful self. With the inuries in the past and healing moving on, my wonderful Mystress has once again got her wonderful step back.
Perhaps to fast :) I keep reminding Mystress to take it easy still but Mystress knows best and i trust her decisions in what she does. I am just happy to have my Mystress back to her wonderful self. Infact even when Mystress is under the eather or sore, she still is a barrel of fun, just alittle slower.
We now start the countdown to the first big day of the year for us, Valentines. I have put my request fr time with Mystress in and hope that i will be trated to Mystress's company. Once bonus is Valentines falls on our night together so mmmm. Looking forward to my Mystress's answer.
Best wishes to all our lovely guests, new and old. Please do enjoy your stay and time with us and as always, feel free to contact us.

Thank you to Mystress
Good evening all.
Well half a month gone already in 2011, wow. I feel another super fast year this year yet that doesnt bother me at all. Why, for it will be another wonderful year in teh presence of Mystress. Mmmm i do so love being with my dear Mystress and being in her service.
Today my dear Mystress came to visit to take part in another of our yearly rituals. We have grown to enjoy wacking the wild plants each year, to cut them all down and ready them for the next year. Then we treat them all miracle grow and see how big we can get them :) It may sound silly but its the rituals Mystress and I keep dear. They instill bonding moments and bring us together and each time we practice them it brings us closer. So take each activity into view, and realize, that even the simplest activity can lead to a wonderful ritual that you can relish in each time you practice it.
So to my Mystress, thank you so much for helping today. I cherish our activities and enjoy the time together immensly.

Tasks from Mystress
Good Evening All
The year has started anew and we hope that it has started off well for all our friends and guests. I dont believe Mystress and I can complain much other than about alittle craziness. I hope that even that will clear in the near future and the year turns out to be a promising onw like the signs seem to indicate it will.
Mystress has tasked me with finding some songs and lyrics that describe our relationship. I have a few in mind that describe our feelings for one another. I shall keep you all informed on what my dear Mystress thinks.
Today we had our annual, take down the xmas decorations get together. We pulled them all down and packed them into the boxes for next year. Its wonderful to have activities we share with each other each and every year and i look forward to them each year. While i was about i did some chores for my dear Mystress to rest her back. Ended up fixing the video camera, cable box and got a new cover on Mystress's iPhone. Then we were off to have a lovely lunch before parting ways to get some individual chores done.
Now i write my post and wait for tomorrow, till my dear Mystress is once again here with me, in our home.

In Appreciation of Solidarity and Kind Words
Hello again dear Readers,
I grew tired and pained at the end of my last entry, and apologize for its rather abrupt ending, plus the fact that Paladin had returned home, and I do my best to give him priority when I am with him, as I feel it should be.
What I neglected in my last post, is the expression of the deep and abiding appreciation I have for my beloved Paladin, and all he does for me.
This has not been an easy time for me... I don't do well with pain.. and I detest narcotic pain killers. I well remember my chiropractor's advice back in '86 that saved me from certain back surgery. That painkillers especially can be dangerous because if you don't feel the pain, your likely to do something to mess it up much worse then it is. So I only take them in the most dire of situations. Otherwise it's ibuprofen and MMJ which as the doc says, helps with both inflammation and to relax all those muscles and stress, but you can still feel the pain and hopefully not hurt yourself worse. It helps with the frustrations and depression of it seeming it will never end. So I have learned to be very careful with what I do. In particular, no lifting anything over 5 lbs.. no twisting, turning or lifting anything over my head. And now I have to use a cane to stay stable on my feet. Grrrrrr...All this takes a lot of patience.. of which I am not terribly well endowed with. I feel like I've paid my penance for lifting boxes I shouldn't have, but needed to be done..so now the pain and inconvenience can take a hike. HUMPH... guess not huh?
In all of this mess... there has been Paladin.. ever solid, steady and patient. I am ever grateful for that. We hope that we find reliable folks in our lives... and I know how well blessed I am to have a slave such as he. So many search and search.. many link up.. and life sometimes kicks them in the teeth. I sorrow for those that have had tidal waves of incidents and situations that have rattled their core's, but I implore them to hold tight onto what they believe in.. and in the end, if they must slip beneath the waters and part, then may it be with the best of wishes to all and with as much grace as can be mustered.
Of all things in this world.. I know that Paladin will always be there while he draws breath. The ring I wear with his words engraved "Forever Yours.....Paladin" given to me on that first anniversary over 3 years ago is his sworn promise to me. He is unlike many in that he is a truly noble Knight. He never makes a promise he cannot keep. At my most dire moments, is when he is the kindest and most reliable, the most solid, loving and encouraging. As I commented elsewhere, I KNOW that deep in his heart, from the inside out, he has only my best interests at heart. He would do anything for me and the only time he over rules me is in regards to my health and well being. That was a directive I did give him fairly early on, and it's been a good move on my part. For I know I may not be always thinking very clearly... but that he is. When I cannot trust that things will be okay... I can trust that WE will be okay.
And now.. a few words, about words...
In times of stress and pain.. we can say (or write) things that hurt others. We don't mean to.. but sometimes.. it can be as if something goads us into it, especially when we are hurting.
I use to do that a lot in my past. I used to throw words about with the thought of "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you." I grew up with that.. and lived by it for a long while, although a part of me winced whenever I said things that didn't need to be said usually some unkind barbed sarcasm. I have learned since.. that that saying is horribly untrue. Words DO hurt.. and do terrible damage sometimes.
All of my perceptions of words and the effects of them changed for me after I read this quote from the Baha'i Writings back in 1986.. and ever since then, it has always given me a mind to be so very careful of what I might say...
For the tongue is a smoldering fire, and excess of speech a deadly poison. Material fire consumeth the body, whereas the fire of the tongue devoureth both heart and soul. The force of the former lasteth but for a time, whilst the effects of the latter endureth a century. -Baha'u'llah
If there is ANY chance that this is true, and I do believe it to be so... I end this entry with that in mind... with just the idea that the "effects" of words of I say last 100 years.... I will continue to bite my tongue and take long, slow deep breaths when things hurt and I am feeling grumpy, angry and/or frustrated and know that this too shall pass... and try not to cross my arms and tap my foot while waiting for it to happen.
I also want to offer a deep heartfelt apology to any I may have hurt with my words... all I can say is that I continue to try to do better each day, and I'll try not to do it again, day by day.
On that note..
I truly send out all my best to all,
Mystress

It IS a Happy New Years!
Greetings and Salutations dear Readers and friends!
I am at last back! The 'adventure' of moving a family member closer and out of a abusive situation became so much more then that. Sorting, packing and a race back to the south before the big winter storm closed the way to us was all more then a wee bit stressful. Carrying boxes of things to the car in the snow gave me chills, literally, followed rapidly by the flu as we drove all nite in the snow to get back at 6:15 am. I was huddled in the back, getting more miserable by the moment as the other two took turns on the 10 hour drive. I would have liked to stop for the nite some place after we got over the mountains, but they were determined now to get all the way through We made it back safe and sound... and I spent the next two days in bed with the flue recovering.
Thur morning the 23rd... I woke feeling finally a bit recovered from the whole ordeal, and more then ready to finish the wrapping of packages I had started the day before. Got some coffee, set up the TV to watch a recorded Medium, leaned down to open the window a bit, and open the blinds a bit.. as I went to straighten up... WHAMMO.. the back seized up. I've long had back probs since working at a law firm in '86... was flat on my back for six months at that time. and I've had a few much more minor incidents since then. I could tell immediately, this was going to be an ugly one.
I made it to the nearby couch and lay there struggling to digest that now I could not move.. couldn't get up without level 150 pain on the 1-10. I kept thinking "this is silly.. I was just up doing things... I can get up in just a moment..." WRONG. I had just opened the window, and the neighbor children were playing outside. Our new roommate was asleep in the far back of the house.. I couldn't yell for her, and her phone was turned off. Thankfully, it was about then that Paladin sent a txt saying he was off work on on his way home. I asked him then to pop
over and rescue me off the couch.. I knew he was going out of town with his family that day, and yet as always, he rose to the occasion.
As he said though, it turned out his key didn't open all the locks for some odd reason (he was given a new key on Fri) and the back yard gate was also locked.. as I said 'Think of something pet! " He pulled the screen off the window and came in through that. WHEW!
I had warned him that when he pulled me up onto my feel I'd scream.. but I'd try to control it. I think I dug my nails in just a bit. but bless his heart.. he got me up and moved and tucked in and all things taken care of.. Then he woke new roomy....
So.. that was over a week ago.. I am much better now. We had a wonderful New Years... and all seems right with the world. He was off this morning to help a friend with a time sensitive project.. and now is back from his rescue mission. So.. I sign off.. wishing all good things
to all.
Ah.. yes...... to Mikka.......My dear girl.... I have missed you too..
and I am now back...!
Hugs and love...

Xmas times past and New years coming
Good evening all out lovely guests and friends. We hope you all had wonderful christmas times with family and friends.
What a lovely time of the year to spend with those you care for, be it christmas or new years. its a wonderful time to reflect on all our relationships and to count our blessings for having them. Some blessings are counted more than others, like my dear sweet Mystress. Every day i count my lucky stars and thank Mystress for being myne.
Unfortunately my dear Mystress hurt her back this past Thursday reaching down to adjust the blinds, and a terrible injury indeed. Mystress immediately went stiff and could only move to collapse on the couch and texted me. Luckily i was omw home to prepare for a trip so i diverted to Mystress. I had to pull the blind on the window as my key wouldn't open one of the locks and climb through to find my Mystress in pain on the couch. I felt so bad and could only do my best to get her into bed and as comfy as the pain would allow. Luckily some medication was near and available later in the evening to blunt the pain and keep it bareable. I felt so bad to leave Mystress with her company but prior engagements with family had to be kept.
We kept in touch all weekend getting updates and sharing our times with each other. It was lovely to be in touch with Mystress yet unpleasant to know she was in pain. Atleast Mystress could spend xmas tucked up on the recliner with family so that was good.
On Sunday i swung by to help Mystress adjust her bed to get more comfy and to grab some dinner for her. The pain had subsided to the point where movement was no possible yet with much pain and discomfort. Mystress would need to spend a few more days in bed much to her disgust. Mystress doesnt do good holed up in one place for too long because she likes to keep busy. Well all thats possible is to relax and let the back heal and watch movies. Not the best way to spend her vacation yet it must be done.
We hope her back is better enough for New Years and will make plans accordingly. The most important thing is you rest dear Mystress, recover and mend your back, even if its terribly unpleasant to be apart. We shall be back in the swing of things much sooner than you think if you can bare the boredom for a few days more. Its much better than the alternative and a re-inhury dont you guys all think?
So please take care my dear Mystress and allow yourself to rest and mend.
With much love
Paladin
