This was a very lazy day. The lovely weather we had during the week that included temps in the mid seventies and eighties has given way to cloudy, damp and temps in the low fifties. This sucks. I feel lazy and uninspired. Slave barb has been packing and organizing her art supplies for her trip. Even though I feel uninspired there's still plenty to do. Most of the stuff that needs to get done was MAsT stuff. I put my outline together for next weeks meeting. We headed out to do the food shopping and print the fliers for next weeks meeting too. It's good to get this done now since I don't have slave barb here next weekend to assist me. It was good to feel like I was getting ahead of the game. We also got the laundry done and other miscellaneous tasks accomplished.

There is big news, actually very big news. The four O'clock hour has come and gone. I had a very excellent conversation with the household applicant. I'm very proud to announce that the household applicant had graduated from applicant status and is now a member of HSL. Welcome to HSL slave paul. Welcome!

There's another wonderful Master slave event that happened today too. Myself and slave barb renewed our Master / slave contract. Actually our contract isn't up until May 1^st but since slave barb will be away “artin” it up we signed a few day early. My heart swells with pride when we re-up the contract. I'm a very happy Master.
