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 Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today

Armanen Rune: Rit: 
Havamal 149.
That I know as the fifth, should an enemy’s
Arrow come flying into the throng;
As bright as it might clash, I stem its power
Once I firmly fix my eye on it.
 
The exalted, the strength of Will, external power/strength squelched, introspective awareness, that which is passing, council, right, wheel, movement, rhythm, law, correctness, judgment, victory over the lower ego, holding, right order, the judge, advice, salvation, money, original law, that which flows away, religious feeling, ritual action/primal laws, orderliness in the world, the ritual, primal law/Urlag, things that are done correctly, spiritual feeling, ritual action, journey, Divine law, All justice, Rune of the cosmic rhythm of the worlds, wheels, personal empowerment.
“I am my rod (right), this rod (right) is indestructible, therefore, I am myself indestructible, because I am my rod (right)” (List, 53).
*H1R5

Interpretation: Heritage (Othilla) leads to primal law (Rit).
*WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st check on all fur-kids
<> 
Outcome: good 6 ½ hours of sleep with only one bladder call.

Now THAT’S a shitty way to start the day; tree trimmers in the area.
<> 
Shower, because I was too exhausted to do it last night.  Toby got a shower, too.
<> 
Call into Toby’s original caretakers to let them know Toby continues to be well cared-for.  This elderly couple took care of Toby after his original guardian came down with Alzheimer’s and couldn’t care for him anymore.  It was that fateful meeting at my veterinary that led them to give guardianship over to me five years ago.   They checked me out.  They checked out where he was going to live.  They were very thorough.  They had no problem handing him over to me.  So, I in turn occasionally contact them to let them know all is well.
<> 
Good morning chat with My Owned One.
<> 
Luckily, Socks came when called.  I thought for sure he’d stay hunkered-down until the tree-trimmers left.
<> 
Toby and I out for an exceptionally well behaved, 30min walk.
*cool, overcast, nice north breeze
*in cooler weather, Toby’s energy is boundless.
<> 
Telephone call into My Sorcha from Socks’ house
More online chat with My Sorcha
<> 
HAHAHAHAHA…no time for strength training now…
<> 
Extra treats for the birthday boy!
<> 
Stepped outside my comfort zone @ work and had to work with a sizeable SHF (shaper holding fixture).  I think it came out well enough.
*the weekend isn’t mandatory as they were ISO volunteers which I declined.  Hopefully that signals an end to 10hr shifts, too.
*I’ve started reading this book over break:  A History of Prussia
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/history-of-prussia-h-w-koch/1000171193
*WOW!  It’ s worth some money now.  I got it YEARS ago @ Barnes and Noble for $7.98

Last check on all fur-kids.

Nighty-night.

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!
