(Aranmânôd = Harvest month)

Loveable, LOVEABLE Essie overnight.

Before the crack-o-fucking-dawn, I went over to the J’sW house with a pair of manual hedge trimmers.  They have a weeping willow tree they planted too close to the sidewalk.  It has grown over the sidewalk and I have to brush it away every time I go by there on a walk.  This morning, I trimmed a walk-way through the foliage.  Actually, I think it looks kind of cool.  Let’s see if they even notice any time soon.

Plans:  ??????????????

Outcome: It’s a beautifully cool morning; overcast with fog…PERFEKT!

Toby and I out for a 1-mile walk, but into the street with failure to respond put Toby on the retractable briefly.  It’s amazing how quickly that cures him.
*Wichita is amazingly quiet for 7AM/07:00 on a Sunday morning.  It’s quite the small-town feeling.
*Essie outside for extended time.

EVERY fur kid was in need of some kind of attention.  Ya know, it’s nice to see Stubby so content.  EVERYONE seems to be getting along so much better.  I cam imagine, at Stubby’s old home he might have been verbally abused.  I’ve seen his guardian and how she treats relationships RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.  She’s not a nice person.  With Stubby being as vocal as he is, I can imagine she yelled at him a bit.
*My concern now, is Shade.  I  haven’t seen him for some time.

Bag of trash over to brother’s; nice visit.

Ya know, pulling up my driveway, I realize I have a nice yard, well trimmed front and back.  I don’t have a lawn, but I DO have a nicely manicured yard.  Going into my home, it’s presentably clean; always with a bit of clutter, I like it what way.  My cupboards are full.  My fridge is well stoked.  My pantry is full.  Life isn’t horrible at this point.

Canary melon for a late dinner.  I found the Canary melon at Dillons for 99c.  I thought it was going to be a bit more ripe than it was; damn good, though.  I took the 2nd one and placed it in the fridge for a later time.  

I found out today, via her mother, that an old love interest is doing fine and may be getting married this fall.  While that would be all fine, well and good, it would be nice if she were to contact me.  I wait.

Nighty-night.

Trimmed the bushes on my north border.

McDs again to use a coupon.  I have more coupons to use by tomorrow, but I’m done.  I’m feeling the effects of old, bad habits, and it’s not good.

PM God/dess Meditation:  Saga, goddess of history; part and parcel of our ever expanding past.  As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories.  Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come.  Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull.  For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will some day have to deal with our spiritual debt.  We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.

Yeah, I’m a softy.  I can’t be any kind of mean to Stubby.  When he’s hungry, he’s hungry in need of feeding.   The neighbor girl will have to remove him.  I can’t.  There MUST be reasons why Stubby stays here.  There MUST be reasons why when I feed him on HIS porch he comes back to mine.  There must be reasons why he ignores the neighbor girl when she comes home.

Plans:  work 5hrs, whole-house TV antenna installed

“Harbor the All in yourself, and you will control the All” (List, 54).

Interpretation:  Denied by the All-Father (Ansuz) leads to the All-Mother (Hagal).

Outcome: Now that Stubby has been adequately fed, he’s content on a porch chair.

Note to self; never watch porn @ 5AM when one has to be at work by 6AM.

Good 5hrs of work; but my production supervisor stepped-on a wolf spider as I was trying to save it…the FUCKER!  I guess my displeasure was obvious on my countenance. 

It’s just after 11AM, no sign of the installers.  I made a call to Cablecom…left a message. 

Came home and immediately mowed the front yard

HEY!  The “Let’m Eat Bräts” truck is on the West St!  The sandwich and German potato salad was PERFEKT!  In order to celebrate this occasion, I wore my German shirt that says: Natürlich habe Ich recht.  Ich bin Deutsch (Of course I’m right.  I’m German).  The ladies noticed and took note.  They were so absolutely pleasant.  I shared with them my book on “Goddess Holle” as well as my business card.
*on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LetmEatBrats/timeline 

The whole-house TV antenna installation with Cablecom went SO MUCH BETTER than I could have ever expected.  Installation went smoothly.  First check on channels revealed FORTY-THREE channels, but I know there are duplicates.  If I end up with 30 channels, I’ll be happy.  All-in-all it will probably cost me about $400 due to me using some of their materials rather than all of Hephner’s.  I returned about $189 worth to Hephner’s which will help pay for the overall installation.  This has been an EXCELLENT experience.  

Call into brother to brag
Call into niece to brag.

McDs walk-in with coupon; buy-one-get-one Quarter Pounder with cheese
McDs drive thru with coupon; buy-one-get-one medium fries.
*FUCKING YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rain?  WTF?  OMGs!  The electric mower!!!!!!!!!!!  Quickly unhooked it, placed it in the shed and pulled in the chord behind it.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeell, some of the same issues still occur, even after spending all this money on over-the-air, broadcast television.  After 9PM, it seems some of the stations power-down and reception is lost.

Called Green Vision for appointment date; call to be returned.
Called a couple of recycling places about cat food cans and that white lining to see if they were redeemable.  Both were in agreement; negative.

Two veggie burger patties covered with cheese and sautéed onions with a garden salad…OMGs YUM!

Inspired by you, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!
