New Rules and Routines

Like many others, we've both been working at home for several weeks now as a result of the pandemic. The kids are also doing virtual schooling. When it first started, we never imagined we'd still be home through the month of April and so there was not much of routine in house. We were all leisurely doing work, often sitting on the couch or in front of the TV. We slept in and stayed up late. When it became evident this was going to be a longer term situation, we realized things had to change. We had to get back to a more structured environment.

It was a challenge for me adapting to a new schedule. I had just gotten into a good 'life' routine where I was going to the gym regularly, eating healthy, and managing work and home life perfectly. Things were humming along good and then the pandemic happened. The gym closed and it's been hard to motivate myself to workout at home. Snacking has increased significantly at my house and so the healthy eating has gone out the window. It's been a challenge but one that I have learned to adapt to. I realized that I had to change some of my thinking and develop new routines and schedules to fit into this new environment. I've discovered that long walks and bike rides in the nearby woods are enjoyable and great exercise and stress relievers. I used to go to the gym early in the morning but at home I struggle to workout early in the morning. I've accepted that and changed my routines so that I sleep in a bit and do power walks in the afternoon, often times with my husband. When working, instead of plopping on the couch, I've set-up a work space in my dining room and I go there first thing in the morning and get to work. It feels more productive, more like work.

Our days are more structured now but still a bit out of the ordinary. Home and work blend together more now and I don't think that will change until I am back at work. It's actually nice in many ways. One of the better things is getting to spend more time with Thomas and the kids. It's less hectic not having to drive to and from work and being able to take care of the little things at home while also working.  Thomas is keeping up with his chores. In fact he's working a little harder because now there are double the dishes and he's constantly straightening up the house. With us being home, it's allowed me to keep a closer eye on him and even create some new rules and routines. We are spending more intimate time together and having fun with it all.

I am demanding more frequent massages from him, which often result in him pleasuring me afterward so that's been really nice. I tease him quite a bit throughout the day. I give him little rubs here and there when the kids are not nearby. He is loving that. I've started picking out which pairs of panties I want him to wear each day. A few times I have made him change to a new pair in the middle of the day just for fun. I've spent some time training him on how to fold my clothes properly. He's never been good with that. In the evenings, when I am not in the mood for a massage, I've started having him kneel in the bedroom while I get ready for bed. Then he kisses my feet right before I get into bed. In the mornings, he serves me coffee in bed. Finally, I have created a list of odd-ball projects for him to do around the house over the next few weeks. It's all things that I'm always thinking about doing but just never get around to such as organizing a closet, painting a room, or getting rid of old stuff in the basement and garage.

For those of you stuck at home, this is a great time to think about new rules and routines to incorporate into your WLM. With the extra time together, it is a great opportunity for training him to do things better and to your highest expectations. It's also a great time to indulge in pampering and experiment with kinky and fun things. If you don't have kids at home, he could literally be your slave for a few weeks. Might as well make the most out of the situation. If I did not have kids at home, I think I'd have him naked all day except for a collar and frilly panties :). Many of the new rules I put in place will disappear when this is all over. I am going to enjoy it while I can. Then it will be back to the old routines with a few new things mixed in.

I hope you all are adapting well to the new environment. Disruption is stressful and frustrating but in the end there is always good that comes from it. Take advantage of the extra time you have with each other and look for the opportunities to have fun and new joyful experiences.
