Recap: It's been a while between posts (E)

As it is usually after the case after a long period of not posting, I am bursting with a smorgasbord of thoughts, visions, and emotions. So here goes...

I would have gone to do some errands this morning, but it wasn't really possible. My Goddess went to bed last night without unlocking the leash she attached to my locked leather collar earlier, keeping me confined (in the best possible way!) to our home, and close to her. Late yesterday afternoon, she had gone for a nap, and being both terribly tired and not feeling too well, she got up just for a short time during the evening, and went back to sleep for good.

It may help to understand that this particular leash is a 50' long, 3/16" thick steel cable that is attached to a brass structure of our bed. Typically, she'll attach it to my ever-present locked leather collar when she goes for a nap and she expects me to be doing some housework, which was the case yesterday.

Here are some posts about the original house leash, adventures in leashing, and about the leash and other rituals.

Without a doubt, my favorite recent find on Twitter is a very cute and funny clip put up by Miss Ginger Millay:

Shit Girls Say to Dominatrices

Interestingly enough, while I was watching the clip with my Goddess, she told "she's just your style." Not quite sure what my Goddess meant by that, although I guess she was remarking on Miss Ginger's humor and fun enthusiasm.

Hottest (in a D/s kind of way) conversation of the last month with my Goddess:

In a discussion about money matters last weekend, my Goddess brought a quick end to the back and forth of the talk by interjecting "Oh, that's right... I own you." Well, that did it. Case closed, she wins, and in my momentary pause, I get hit by a little wave of subspace.

Hottest texts of the last month:

"You're getting tied up tonight!"

I'm still amazed, and delighted, that several years into our relationship, I still get butterflies in my stomach and get all subspacey when she tells me that. And of course, I usually spend the rest of the day suffering from a total loss of focus.

Spending time in bondage in the care of my Goddess, with or without other BDSM activities, always justifies the emotional ramp-up, and reinforces both our D/s dynamics and the lasting imagery/imprint of those moments.

Back of the topic of leashes, dissatisfied with the cell phone tracking apps we had been using, we upgraded to a monthly service that allows my Goddess to track my every movement... at all times and with great accuracy. In addition, she can load up addresses and days/times of my week's work schedule. Notifications come in to her cell phone if I'm not where I'm supposed to be at those times.

It has been a source of great D/s enjoyment for her... upon her first notification (she hadn't reset the schedule and location when I was out of town at a trade show), she texted me "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this!"

On my side, I'm glad to provide my Goddess with that level of control (and pleasure). I had written a post a while back called The invisible leash in which I talked about the D/s dynamics of the decision to have her be able to track my location 24 hours a day.

It's kind of interesting that, contrary to the normal feelings that may arise in non-D/s relationships, having less freedom and submitting to more control is increasingly appealing to me as our D/s relationship grows over time.

I so have to clean up our blog's links. It's been so long... a number of links are no longer valid, and I have so many more to add. Be that as it may, I'd like to point out that shortly after this post goes live, I'll add the following photo sites:
Geek Domme
Felm Cyber
Please keep you slave on a leach
Slave in Training

And finally, an image that could be of me while my Goddess is busy taking a shower, or otherwise busy and needing me out of the way but behaving.

  1. Oooh...

    "dissatisfied with the cell phone tracking apps we had been using, we upgraded to a monthly service"

    What app did you use before and what are you using now (I ask about the former because I expect the latter will be carrier specific)?

  2. PS I just noticed that your feed to my blog in your blogroll is not working (it shows 'last updated' as 4 weeks ago!)...

  3. Dear Ferns,

    We must have tried almost every free app available on the iPhone. The very first one (at the time of the Invisible Leash post) actually worked decently well for about 2 weeks), but suddenly became very spotty. Virtually everything else was quite terrible. That first one was one of the many Family Tracker app. They don't go by the same name anymore.

    Granted, those were free apps. Apart from that first one, we would have considered going to a paid app (less expensive than the monthly service) if they would have proven to have at least some level of accuracy. But they were so far away from it that we were not convinced they would be satisfactory even if improved significantly.

    Your insights serve you well. The carrier specific tracker is foolproof and very accurate. My Goddess' enjoyment, and the feeling of the constant invisible leash for me, are well worth the extra fees.

    Always a pleasure to have you drop by!

    1. Thanks for the information.

      I also tried a couple of free apps and Google Latitude and none of them worked well, so I had the same experience as you. I guess you get what you pay for!

  4. Dear Ferns,

    Concerning the feed, I don't know why that would be so. With my last post, Blogger forced me to change my browser to Google Chrome from IE, and I'm not very happy with the change. It has transformed the blogging process from something simple to... something that isn't. Among the many impacts, the editing within a post is more much troublesome. And I wouldn't be surprised if this affected the feed. :(

    I will look into it in the next day or two, however, and see if there is something that I need to reset on my Blogger back-end.

    And until it's taken care of, I will let you know if we come up with any new post. Customer service is a priority for us! ;)

    Thank you for letting me know.

    All the best!

      Ugh, that's a pain. One of the reasons I moved off blogger was because Google seemed to be getting all too big for its boots, making arbitrary decisions (including removing blogs entirely!) with little recourse. It made me very nervous.

      "I will let you know if we come up with any new post. Customer service is a priority for us!"

      *smile* Thank you, but no need to do that, I use a reader and it's working just fine.
