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: Rit:

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.

Rune Lesson: At first glance, this is a very troubling reading.  Naudiz is a stress indicator.  Rit is also about challenges.  Looking deeper for an understanding, we see that the Naudiz if for a reason, and Rit contains an element that says, FIXED.   Yeah, sure, there may be friction, but it’s for a good cause, and that fixes the whole situation.  Stress and problem solved.

1st check on all fur-kids: food, water, litterboxes, shelter.
<> 
Outcome: 7 ½ hrs. of sleep, one Toby wakeup, and LOTS of Lily loving!
<> 
Prepped for virtual phone call from ENT, but couldn’t connect, so settled for a telephone call.
<> 
MEGA breakfast sandwich; two slices of whole wheat bread, swiss cheese, hand-shredded hashbrowns (a bit messy but yummy), 2 scrambled eggs.
<> 
Note to Self; Toby’s 11:45 feeding and insulin.  I think I may have been pushing the insulin too quickly.  Twice now I’ve been administering it more slowly and it seemed to have been easier on his.
<> 
Rune work.  Note to Self; don’t start anything like this when Toby is waiting.
<> 
Toby and I out for a 1-block roundy training/trust walk.  Ya know, I’m not so sure he even enjoys these.  I don’t want to push Toby to do anything he doesn’t want to do.  This is really getting depressing.  I can’t even begin to imagine what Toby is feeling.  I know he loves it when I sit with him outside and scratch his ears.
*sunny, mildly warm, west wind.
<> 
Leftover Hobo Stew and a bowl of coleslaw.
<> 
OMGs!  The perennials in Agathagart are sprouting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<> 
Homemade 1/3 lb. cheeseburger with (how long has it been since I had) deep fried tater-tots.
<> 
2 hrs. of Ghost Whisperer; finally, some episodes I’ve seen.
<> 
Ya know, 9-times-out-of-10 there are problems when a new renter moves into the neighborhood.  When that renter plays his music so loudly, I can hear it across the street, thru the back side of a house and into MY house, it’s just too fucking loud that late at night.  There was NO WAY I was going to knock on his door after dark, so I let an officer do it for me.   Hopefully problem solved.

Noe to Self; Toby’s 11pm feeding and insulin.
<> 
Last check on all fur-kids.

Midnight-30 nighty night

God/dess Meditation: Wednesday, Wodan’s Day Wodan;
Alle-Vater Gott!  Wandering god!  Rune god! Wolf god! Raven god! Wodan!! Husband to Frija, the Alle-Mutter.  Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, Wodan, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!
