Book of Days

i am not the greatest at coming up with topics to write about and i didn't want to end up just writing about sex so i thought that the Service Book of Days was a good way to stimulate thought as well as give me some time to reflect on my week ahead. If you want to participate the original questions are on the Service Savoir Faire blog. i haven't had time to review it thoroughly but it does seem to be a good resource for many other service oriented ideas as well.
So without further ado here is my first Service Book of Days entry.

Outside my window... (weather, what do you hear, what do you see?)
The sky is cloudy but i can see the mountains across the water. The seagulls are calling once in a while. It sounds almost as quite out there as it does in here right now.
my thoughts...
i still feel bad about last night. i need to get my chores done to show Madam i'm worth Her time and effort
Today's Quote...
“True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life, through devotion, to something beyond himself.” ~Henry Miller
i am thankful for...
Having a Madam that loves me even when i talk back, that She is willing to keep trying even when things are hard
From my service training... (any skills, training etc; notes you want to share this week)
i need to work on letting Lee decide when i need punishment. i guess it boils down to fully submitting, especially when i think that a situation should be handled differently. i have turned over the control/choice of how, when and why i need to be punished... i need to just shut up, listen and obey.
From the kitchen... (menu for the week, what are you cooking?)
Lee and i had Christmas dinner by ourselves and we had a huge turkey so we have oodles of leftovers to use up. my plan is to make some casseroles, soup and the likes and freeze them so She has lunches all ready to go.
i am wearing...
A tee shirt and capris sweatpants at the moment. i haven't decided what i'll wear for Lee when She gets home.......what i'm not wearing is my collar, i miss it so much and feel kinda naked without it. It seems a bit strange that i can be naked with only my collar on and feel complete or fully clothed and without Madam's mark and feel so naked and exposed
i am creating... (crafts, sewing etc;)
i need to write thank-you notes for my Christmas gifts. i am also thinking of making a daily/weekly chore checklist for the fridge to help stay organized (and cause i love lists)
my adventures this week... (where are you going this week?)
i don't think i'll be going anywhere this week, Lee and i are thinking of going downtown for the free activities going on on New Year's Eve
Becoming well read... (What are you reading this week?)
i'm reading Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters, as recommended to me by Lee
i manifest and co-create... (what are your hopes, dreams, and prayers this week)
i hope to find work soon as much as i love staying home and being able to care for Lee our budget is getting really tight. i hope that Lee and i can work out a few of the wrinkles that we have stumbled upon in TTWD
Today's Melody... (what music are you listening to? even if it's just the sound of a bird...)
Right now it's silent in here and i'm quite enjoying it. Later when i start my chores i will probably turn on some upbeat dancey music to keep me movin'
One of my favorite things...
i talked to a friend last night about going backpacking soon and am kinda stoke about the possibility, it's been far too long since i slept in a tent lol
further plans for this week...
Get our home in order so i can feel confident about going back to work if/when i find a job. Finish putting away the few tidbits left around from Christmas and on that note take down the decorations and store them for another year
