Plans: my love my fiancée, work 8hrs

I took guardianship of Toby four years ago today.  Toby’s original guardian came down with Alzheimer’s and could no longer care for him.  An older couple, friends of the guardian, were trying to re-home him to a good home.  Believe me, I was vetted by this couple.  When asked his age, the Vet’s best guess was 5yrs old.  So, I make April 26, 2009 Toby’s birthday.

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.
*I have no idea what brought this on, but I was LAUGHING!  I just LOVE the idea that great-grandfather and great-grandmother Reimer.  WERE here in the plains.  The evidence that my grandfather, Henry Reimer, was born in Medford, Oklahoma puts them there.  I fully believe they said FUCK ALL THIS and skedaddled to California; either for opportunity or to get away from the church.  I uproariously laugh believing the latter.  I affectionately call them “The Rebels”.  ROTFLMFnAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today

Armanen Rune: Yr:
Havamal 160.
A sixteenth I speak if a maid is reluctant,

To wake her lust and desire;
I change the heart of the delightful woman,
Then to me her wishes turn.
 
Lust/desire, seduction, second thoughts, the waxing and waning moon, lunar-like mutability of the feminine essence, the error-rune, conquering resistance through confusion, eventual perfection, Female mysteries, roots of the World Column, the carrier of genetic material, God-woman, femininity, desire, sensual love, passion, perfection, Mother, chaos from which creation emerges, female principle in the Cosmos, the night, death and instinct, anger, falsehood, error and the oppositions found in humankind, mystical union, night, moon, well grounded, roots of Irminsul from which all life springs, woman as the opposite/balance to man, the descending Divine Feminine being.
“Think about the end” (List, 63).

Interpretation: A turning point (Jera) leads to lust/desire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st check on all fur-kids

Outcome: 7hrs of sleep with one wake-up; not horrible.

Brief good morning chat with my love my fiancée.

I made a short video of Toby and me howling for his 9th birthday and posted it to Fb.

Three eggs (one yoke ran) sunny-side-up, 4 slices of deli-ham, hashbrowns, ½ of a whole wheat bagel.
*I blame all this on the ½ bagel, and the yoke that ran.

Out to buy a tire for my brother.  He’ll pay me back Friday.

Toby and I out for an early afternoon walk.  I wasn’t paying close enough attention.  Before I knew it, he had injured a squirrel.  As long as he makes a quick kill of it...  As badly as I felt for the squirrel, I can’t be too mad at Toby.  It was done on equal terms.  The squirrel anticipated on being faster than Toby, and Toby anticipated being faster than the squirrel.  This time, Toby won.  I took Toby home with his prize and went on with my 30min walk.
*mildly warm, partly cloudy/high clouds, no breeze

For having very few orders in the shop I sure am turning in some good time.  4hrs from just after midnight yesterday, plus 10.7hrs today; pretty damned good!  Today, just after midnight, I turned in 3.8hrs for tomorrow.

Well hela, a bit more electrical work was done for the room addition.

Last check on all fur-kids.

God/dess Meditation: Die [(German for feminine “the”) (pronounced “Dee”)] Wurtâ:
Die Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.

That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” forms now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
*C. Reimer/V. Elmersson
