General Information About the Household
The style of household that is kept here under the watch of Master Jude is one of high protocols and respect in all things and because of this the house is run smoothly. Rules are very plain and simply laid out with no real room for questions, but if there are ever any Master Jude is more than willing to take the time to explain what the rule or request means as well as how and when She expects it done. There is a manual that guides the house in how He sees and expects others to see Her house. With that the manual is something that should be read and although not fully memorized it still should be able to stick with you in everything you do.
The chores are the easiest to start with, as it typically is just a matter of keeping the house clean. This may sound simple in and of itself, but in actuality it takes time and effort because in Sir’s household, as He expects cleanliness and order. Anyone who comes into the household must respect themselves enough to want a clean house and be willing to work towards keeping a well maintained house. Someone once said, “That without order there is chaos, without structure there is instability, and without discipline there is lack of personal growth.” This is a phrase that I often repeat to myself whenever I feel I don’t want to do something around the house and keeps me focused on the importance of a house that is cleaned properly. It is someone who feels the same way as Master Jude and I do in this regard that could potentially be a good fit for the house.
Aside from chores, another part of how this house functions correctly is with our behaviors and protocols that go along with them. Protocol driven behaviors are things as simple as sitting on the floor next to Master Jude to not speaking at all without being spoken to. The way one acts can affect the mood during any given time. Your behavior should always reflect how you think Master Jude would want you to be, even if she isn’t around. This shows that you have Her constantly on your mind and are making the effort to ensure that you aren’t letting go of the submissiveness that is needed at all times in the house.
Because of this personality is another feature that is a requirement in the household; dull, dry, and boring aren’t needed anywhere in this house, now that doesn’t mean to say that there are times that Sir wants things to be serious, but instead it means that there are times and places for everything, but anyone who comes into the house should have an easy going personality with the ability to pay attention and focus at all times.
Because of how smooth things run around here it makes it easy to relax and have a good time. I have 2 kinds of days, one when I work and other when I’m off. My days working typically are when I do the most stuff, I clean when I wake up and try my best to get everything done that needs to be finished before Master wakes up, I get myself ready for the day and then head to work. After work I fix dinner and spend the evening either watching tv or reading book, either way curled up on the floor next to Master. We sit with me laying my head on her leg and I tell Her about my day, all the things that went wrong with work or all the fun and exciting things I did. She listens to me patiently letting me get out all the day’s events all the while petting my head or just relaxing. Usually every night she makes some sort of comment we can joke about or laugh at because if there is one thing she enjoys, it’s a good laugh!
She is the type of Master that once she knows that you can take care of things without Her having to look over your shoulder all the time she is easy going and trusts that you will do what you are supposed to. And when she notices something isn’t done, for the most part she tries to kid around and bring it up easily before having to actually point out that you have done something incorrect.
A day off work in my life in the house is probably a lot better than most peoples. I wake up and play my favorite game when it comes to cleaning; I try to get all my chores done before She wakes up. Most of the time I am fairly successful, but there are times She wake up before I am finished so She goes to Her chair and does Her own morning thing so I can finish what I need to without being distracted in any way. Once all the chores are completed then we can begin the day together, She is amazing about seeing if there is anything that I would like to do for the day, or if I just want to go with the flow of things. For the most part I just want to enjoy my day off so we either pack a small lunch or just grab some bottles of water and go for a bike ride, unless it’s raining or too cold, in which case we find something else to. Which isn’t hard, seeing as She is a movie and music enthusiast so there are always movies to watch and songs to listen to. And if we aren’t in the mood for any of the above, we play fetch in the house or play around and goof off. She also has a tendency to teach you things you never in a million years thought you’d need to know, but once you learn it you find yourself wanting to learn and soak up all the knowledge She is willing to give you. The things you could learn from Her could be small things like how to kneel properly for Her to something like who the actor is that plays Iolauss in Xena. Life with Master Jude is never boring, there is always something to do, play, or learn around here, and if there ever comes a time when there isn’t then I’m sure Master will make sure that She finds something for us to learn together!
Our household has many different aspects to it, but all of them make it complete. Master Jude’s standards might be high to some extent, but it is because it’s a reflection of everyone in the house and She wants all who live in Her house to shine. She keeps the bar raised but with a cool, calm, New York sense of humor so that everyone in the house can be relaxed and have a good time all while maintaining the full sense of always know She is in charge. She is notorious for noticing everything and picks up on things very easily, so with that along with all Her other qualities along with the fun we have together make this the best possible fit for me or anyone else who could see themselves getting along here.
