Oh cruel Master



Drifting to the sink one slid a dirty plate on the bench and put up an oven mitt, thinking that He was late home. There was the sound of a throat being cleared...
And there He was standing in the doorway. It was enough to frighten one out of a year's growth.
How did you sneak in one asked
Same way I always do He responded, taking a step back so one could remove his shoes
Yes, but one didn't hear you pull up... hence not greeting Him at the door naked ready to do the shoe removal thing
Perhaps the government should have sent you paper work to get the hearing checked out as well He said dryly.
Bastard!

I've been having a hearing issue recently too. Only mine is caused by the fan. It is too hot not to run fan in the bedroom at night, but not hot enough to turn on air conditioning. See, normally I rely on sound of the door opening down the hall, or the toilet, or the brushing teeth sound to know when to get in position and get ready. Because really, who can kneel for 30 minutes with absolutely nothing to do? So I putter around the bedroom for most of it, or do exercises, etc. Then with the fan running I can't hear him coming. And he's like "what? are? you? doing?"

LOL Its like that. Exactly like that. At this time of the year it is too bloody cold to kneel naked waiting for Him. The garage door goes up, He screeches to a halt (the brakes squeal, just a little), the car door slams and there one is. Just like a magic trick :D
This time the rabbit failed to make an appearance :(
Bad, bad rabbit

Inspired by thinking about this, last night I turned the fan to low setting so I can still hear him coming, and he doesn't complain that I've turned off the fan. Is this what they call compromise?

Master's piece said...

No. A compromise is when both people are equally miserable. What you have there is a cunning plan :D

Yay for cunning! I know it is one of the things he likes about me.
