I finished everything, updated her list and then puttered around my house doing my chores and hobbies. Tuesday morning I was up, walked and exercised and as I ate my breakfast checked the list. There was not much to do at the house, but there was a shopping list. Luckily she knew exactly what she wanted and from which store and even which salesperson to ask for. I had a couple hours till the first contractor so I went to do the shopping. I tried to pick a shirt that partially concealed my collar, but it is difficult since it sits high and is over an inch across. I went into a rather high end makeup store and asked for Louise.
She came over and I told her I was shopping for Julie Engstrom and had a list of things to get. She smiled at Julie's name, took the list and rounded up the items. I could see her glancing at my collar but she didn't say anything. I took everything back to her house and had some time till the vendor came, so instead of going home, I decided to do my meditation for the day. I do a silent seated meditation for around 20 minutes. I chose a spot in her living room and knelt with my hands on my thighs and my eyes closed and head bowed. I didn't think anything of it and when I was done I got up and waited for the vendor. I pulled on an old sweatshirt on that concealed the collar when the vendors came in. After that I went about my own day. I updated the list and went to bed.
In the morning, I checked the list. Other than some vendor follow ups there weren't any new chores. There were two interesting instructions though.
1. Find me online resources for someone new to Dominance
2. Explain your kneeling for 20 minutes at my house yesterday
Number 2 was easy. I explained that I meditated daily and that I had time while waiting for a vendor so I did it in her living room. For number one I copied a link to Ms. Elle X on youtube. I had watched a bunch of her Q&A's on the "lifestyle" and some of her tutorials. I felt she had a nice balanced approach and was very personable in her style. The rest of the day was busy for me as I had several massage clients.
The next couple days were quiet. Not many new chores or even updates to the daily document.
Friday afternoon finally rolled around and I picked Julie up at the airport. Julie looked exhausted. We didn't talk much. I dropped her at her house and carried her bags in. She kicked off her shoes and sat in the living room. I poured her a glass of wine and brought it to her. She smiled and took it. I told her that I had made a big salad and there was some Pho in the fridge if she got hungry.
"Thank you. I just want to unwind tonight. Are you available for coffee and a walk tomorrow?"
"Of course. Call me or just come over when you wake up. I'll be up and the coffee will be hot."
