July/Heuuîmânôd 31, 2015 Frijastag 

7/31/2015

(Heuuîmânôd  = Hay month)

Plans:  day off 

Up at sunrise to go to the VA, but my appointment on Aug 4th isn’t for blood work; rather, it seems to be for Ophthalmology.  Well damn…waste of time.

McDs for breakfast; brought something to share with Toby.
*car thermometer said 72F/22C; not bad for the last day of July.

Toby and I out for a 1-mile walk. 

Stubby for feeding.

AM Elder Rune: Hagalaz: The cosmic seed of potential, a sacred enclosure/shell, shaping, evolution, protection within, holiness, destruction/regeneration, evolution, destructive elements, unavoidable unpleasantness, pruning, potentially destructive but change will occur on its own given time.

AM Armanen Rune:  Fa:  
Havamal 145.
The first one promises to help generously
In sorrow, sickness and pain;
In eternal change, man goes forth 
From death to new creation.

Property, to grow, to wander, to destroy, to shred, guidance, help, Father, potential change reflected in a beginning; preface of that which is becoming, being and passing away; procreation, creative father principle, Father-God principle.  primal Fire, the power of spirit and change as well as the power of creativity, the Divine Masculine Principle, success, pure, generated fire that acts creatively in love, will that spares manifestation down to the material levels, necessity of change.
“Generate your luck and you will have it” (List, 49).

Interpretation:  Evolution (Hagalaz) that leads to a beginning (Fa)

Outcome: Yesterday, I was disappointed a some of the things I ordered from Amazon concerning my great-nephew’s birthday.  I asked for and received confirmation for a refund on one item.  If I saw it correctly, it SEEMED they said I could have the refund, but didn’t need to return it.  WHAT?  I’ll check on that later.  I decided another of the items would be doable.  So, I went ISO a replacement gift for what I had refunded and found the PERFEKT stuff.  Yeah, I spent more than double, but it was necessary.  

Lots of online fun; Chrome-cast a Rammstein concert.

Veggie burger w/cheese, potato coins and a Klondike Bar for lunch.

Almost forgot about my dental appointment for deep cleaning.  I am certainly in love with my hygienist.  We certainly have loads of fun.  At the end of the appointment, she pulled me aside to tell me she was no longer going to work on Fridays.  I just came right out telling her I’d like to take her out to dinner sometime.  She politely declined.  I asked why.  She said she already had a boyfriend.  I suggested that one day she may not.  I slyly left two business cards; one for her, one for their bulletin board in whatever break room they may have.

The soles of both of my New Balance shoes, where I can spend upwards of $50, have come loose, WAY too soon IMO.  As quickly as this seems to happen, I think I’m equally as good when I get plain-ole shoes from Payless http://www.payless.com/.  I may go shopping soon.

Neighbor lady over with food offerings. 

Frozen fish filets, baked potato, and salad for dinner.

Game of Thrones, Season 1, Episode 3; Lord Snow.

Family outside time
*I’m so proud of Essie and how she keeps Stubby under control.

Town West for shoe shopping
*Payless
*JCP
*Ya know, I can make do for now with what I may find in my closet.

PM God/dess Meditation:  Die 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” will form now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot yet see. 
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.

Good AM work; workload dangerously low.
*OMGs!  MAJOR thunderstorm moved into Wichita.  Good thing I kept an eye on the weather radar.  I’m glad all at home are safe.
Good @ home for lunch.  Still raining, Toby got in two pees and a poop quickly.  Now why in the world does Socks want to come outside?  Essie ready for loving and treats.  Toby eagerly anticipating his meaty treat.  Back out the door with Socks on the porch-rail.  Okay dad, I’ll go back into my house.  Jeez!
Good PM work; no overtime offered.
*the sun once again shines; the heat is back with it. 

IT’S A THREE-DAY WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rest of my great nephew’s b-day present arrived today.  Mostly, I’m disappointed.

Changed/corrected some things in both journal and blog.  They were really necessary changes.

Call in from my Irminenschaft brother!

It’s getting a bit difficult reading my computer screen.  I found out that 150% magnification improves readability greatly.

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!

Good @ home for lunch; Toby was in great anticipation of his treat.

GODDAMNIT!  I’ve had my mortgage payment in the mailbox for TWO-fucking-DAYS!  The first day, it was just bypassed as mail was left.  Today, it’s like either no mail was delivered or no mail-person came by.  I had to QUICKLY run it to the south post office before pick-up…barely made it.

Last night, I made sure to clean out Socks’ litter box in an effort to alleviate some stench.  I’ve even checked to see if he has started spraying.  This morning, I found a mouse cadaver.  I figured if Socks has killed one he’s probably killed more.  It may be they will have to rot themselves out.

This I know as an eleventh, when
I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.

*actually, I DO understand this.

Outcome: It’s going to be a HOT FUCKER today!

Toby and I out for an early morning, 1-mile walk.
*Shade stuck around overnight; probably gave Socks fits.  Nonetheless, Shade does follow quite well when Toby and I head out.  She followed for about a block then veered off. 

Essie out for equal time; unrestrained with the absence of Shade.

Mowed and trimmed front yard.  I considered continuing on to Agathagart, but the yard is really still way too wet.  The back yard has a tendency to be thicker in places than the front.

Call in from O_.  The guy from last week’s gun show still wants to buy my FN FAL plus ammo at my asking price.  OH HEL YES!

Met the guy at Wal-Mart.  FN FAL SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went to the Kansas Human Society with O_ and C_ so C_ could be interviews for a volunteer position.  While there I got Toby a new chew-bone and different treat…like he needs anything more.

VERY nice visit @ home with O_ and C_.

To Taco Shop http://tacoshop.biz/ with O_ and C_… OMGs full!

S.I.C.K. was AMAZING!  It was my first trip into the play-space.  Since I have no play partner, I opted to leave early.  However, I really have my eye on this one gal; very young, very red-headed.  I gave her one of my business cards.  We’ll see if she utilizes it.

PM God/dess Meditation:  Frouwa & Ing-Frô:
Frouwa, most lovely of all goddesses; who could not love you?  Women as their own inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa that resides in us all!
<>
Ing-Frô, you’re the Great God of Fridu (all-encompassing safety and protection), Ar (peace, good seasons), the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the god of this World. When the day to day wears us down remind us of pleasures and joys. Help us recall the wonderful excesses that brought our lives into being and which sustain the human spirit during good times and bad. Without you, there would be no life and certainly little delight. Thank you, Ing-Frô, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!

Elder Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today

Picture

AM Elder Rune: Uruz (Inv): A weakened position, deprivation, depletion of energy, out of sync, an impulse towards inaction, a severe lack of foundation and energy at low levels, reduction, elasticity, uncontrolled rage, without the will to survive, taking no risks at this time, weakness, illness, the inability to overcome obstacles.

Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today


Picture
AM Armanen Rune:  Hagal:  
Havamal 151.
A seventh I learned, if the hall is burning
With fire around bench and comrades;
However bright it burns, I will banish the blaze,
As soon I sing the magic chant.

Eternal change, the Mother of all Runes, the cohesion of the world, the All-Mother, Frija, that which cares and maintains, protects, and preserves; that which is motherly; wisdom, harmony, salvation, blessing, protects from hail and fire, eternal change, caring and maintaining principle in the Universe, Higher Self, the perfect human being, Divine within, the Rune of humanity, married to the World, Rune of enclosure but contains a potential for growth, builder/architect of the worlds, the macrocosm of the world itself.

Interpretation:  Deprivation (Uruz) that leads to the Mother (Hagal).
*isn’t that how it works?  LOL…

Outcome: the heat is REALLY back on today.

LOL…I experimented with my “Funny-Side-Up” egg mold.  It worked pretty well. 

ALL my outside kitties showed up for feeding in this order:
Fish
Shade
Stubby-tail

Good AM work; she’s back on her bi-polar down.  Luckily, I’ve learned how to recognize it, deal with it, and not take it personally.

BK for my veggie burger http://www.bk.com/search?term=veggie+burger lunch.

Started working on the Reimer heritage sheet for my Great Nephews.

More time in emails thinning them out and unsubscribing. 

Haircut; my stylist left Headlines to move into her own studio.  It’s an excellent move for her.  My haircut?  It’s basic training short.  I remember when I went into Coast Guard basic training with shoulder-length hair.  It was pretty traumatic to have them take that first swipe right down the middle of my head!  This time, it’s welcomed.

On a whim, I stopped off at a new taco place.  I got 3 tacos. ..not bad. It good enough to return.
*on Facebook: Taco Fajita Restaurant: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Taco-fajita-Restaurant/370316366507293?fref=ts 

I never know what movie I want to watch on Netflix.  I wanted to watch “Game of Thrones” but couldn’t access HBO-Go properly.  I wanted to watch “Ex Machina” but it wasn’t available to me.  Of course, a call into my buddy was never returned.

Cheesy rice, peas, and turkey kielbasa 

Feeble attempt at a family outdoor time.  Shade is still here, which always puts things on edge.  Essie handled her well enough, but Socks, OMGs…he knows his shit.  I got a bit perturbed at him, though, when he briefly turned on Essie.  I’m sure his adrenaline was flowing, but I will not tolerate that between him and Essie.

JsFnChst!  Forcing myself, literally FORCING myself, to stay awake until 10PM to watch a soccer match was a pointless effort.  It was blacked-out on MLS-LIVE (online) because they said it was showing on a local channel.  Checking local channels, and nothing.  FUCKING DISAPPOINTMENT!

Closely watching today’s weather (KSN radar and weather.com) for Toby’s sake.  I think the rain will stay south of Wichita.  

New doughnut shop in Wichita; Hurts doughnuts (on Facebook): https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hurts-Donut-Company/689685841084686?pnref=story 

Good AM work, workload low
@ home for lunch, Toby inside, no sign of Essie…
Good PM work; 5hrs of overtime approved for tomorrow
*GODDAMN MEETING AFTER WORK DIDN’T GET OUT UNTIL ALMOST FUCKING 6pm…

I tried to stop off to get some cheap dinner…Sonic was WAY busy selling hotdogs for $1.

Corndogs. leftover Chinese chicken, deep-fried potatoes

Outside family time; Socks was quick to remind Stubby-tail this was SOCKS’ domain!

Short evening

Shower, bed, nighty-night

PM God/dess Meditation:  Donar:
Donar, Son of Wotan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

AM Elder Rune: Teiwaz (Inv): Outside the favor of Ziu; the god of honor, without victory in conflict, injustice, imbalance, mismanagement, failure, dishonesty, compromised judgments, defeat, warfare without purpose,  legal dilemma, the inability to fight for what’s right, void of the will to succeed, double standards.

AM Armanen Rune:   Os:  
Havamal 148.
The fourth one I know, when a foe has tied up
My arms and hands; 
The fetters fall from my leg, when I chant that song,
And off my hands the ropes come.

That which is offered, freedom, Wotanic energies, leadership, mouth, speech, the effort to convince, deed following the word, the Divine Breath, kingship, discussion, idea of that which is given/evolving, the spiritual power that is gained through speech, it is the breath of the world, its voice, strength that a person needs to rise up in power, freedom from the bondage of the material world.

Interpretation:  dishonesty that leads to freedom.

Outcome: relatively cooler.

Well shit, the elbow beneath the bathroom sink had once again come apart and water was all over the bathroom.  A quick plumbing job was in order.

BEAUTIFUL sunrise!

Questionable AM work.  I finished one order of parts, took it to inspection and grabbed another as per usual.  Within the hour, I get the question, “Are you helping on the line?”  I just wanted to scream, “WTF do you think I’m doing?”  I kept my cool all morning.
@ work for lunch; overcast, but brighter than before.
Better PM work.  I finally cornered the super to ask him about the gantry job at Brittain machine.  He was honest to tell me it really is made for a younger man; shoveling and toting…all day.

On the way home…WOW!  It’s been raining aheluvalot!  By the time I got home, it was a downpour.  Now concerned, I immediately started calling Toby and Socks.  Toby was smart enough to make his way to the shed, a bit worse for wear, but fine.  Socks eventually came, too, and was willing to let me carry him to his House.

Frozen leftovers and a garden salad for dinner.

1-mile on the treadmill, 25min 

HI FISH!  Ya hungry?  I’ll feed Fish any time he wants it.

PM God/dess Meditation:  Scata, Winter goddess, fleet on your skis and let me be the game you bag with you bow. Stun me with your grace and beauty, tuck me in the skin-sack at your side, and then take me to your home where wolves howl. There, show me the crisp freedom of winter and wilderness.  Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Aesir for the killing of your father, Thiazi, grant us the same ferocity in our lives.  Direct us to be strong, able and favored of you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SCATA, as we honor the Scata that resides in us all!
