I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Armanen Rune: Bar: 
Havamal 157.
A thirteenth I mention, when I sprinkle the son,
The young one, with holy water,
If once he faces the foe, then he cannot fall,
No sword can wound him so he collapses in the dust.

1st check on all fur-kids; Essie is so funny.  She makes “I wanna go outside” sounds when I open the front door.  She’ll stand at the storm door until I let her out onto the porch.  She wasn’t outside for 5min…okay…that’s enough.

Outcome: 6 ½ hours of solid sleep

Good morning chat with my love my BRILLIANT fiancée.

Hardly any work in the shop, but man did we turn in some minutes for what we had!  I turned-in 10hours+ thanks to my bread-n-butter parts.  I also turned-in 4hours into tomorrow.  My shop colleague also turned in an ungodly amount of time to the tune of 1,600 min (no joke), plus 3 hours turned-in for tomorrow.

God/dess Meditation: Heimo, HEAR ME!  Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods.  You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!
