Socks was SO ready to go into his house.

Another earthquake this morning that I didn't feel:
#http://earthquaketrack.com/recent

WOW! Now THIS is cold.

Good AM work; workload adequate.
Good @ home for lunch:
*Stubby an Long-tail both ready for feeding.
*Toby ready to go outside, and soon back inside.
*Essie was ready for my loving.
*I didn't give Socks a chance to be ready for anything.
Good PM work; I went ahead to sign up for Aflac #https://www.aflac.com/business/default.aspx for a year. It was only $6+ per week.

Ya know, I've had that bowl of candy on the shelf since Halloween and Toby has never bothered it. I come home from work and he had totally been in it. I SERIOUSLY let him know my displeasure.

Call into Spirit to discuss WHY ADP is contacting me again to give them my personal information after I've already sent in the document they say they want. It's even more suspicious ewith a Hindu accent.

Essie out back.
<>
Last of turkey stew batch #1 plus the last of the potato cakes for dinner.

Essie was quick to come a-running when I called her. Methinks she was pretty cold.

Toby has certainly become contrite.

Huggled with Socks in his house. I sure love this kitty. I wish he could behave in MY house. It pains me that things have to be the way they are. Leaving him by himself just breaks my heart. I would so prefer him to be inside with me, but that won't ever happen, it seems.
*Jera and Sig?

Shower, bed, nighty-night.

PM God/dess Meditation: Nirdu, brother-husband to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Frô and the Frouwa, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to our doors daily from the wonderful Universe in which we live. Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!

Cuddled with Socks in his Cat House. Ya know, he is quite the perplexity. I love him so much, at the same time he frustrates me so much. I SO WISH he could be an in-house kitty. He just doesn't know how to behave.

Call into Kelly. Once again, I didn't expect much. It was my first phone call into her since “The Book of Mormon”. I'll be patient.

OH MY! My second batch of turkey stew turned aout better than the fist.

I sure have spent a lot of time in the kitchen today.

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!

As much as Toby likes the cold, he doesn't stay out long in this.

The rain continues. Next year's wheat crop is already in the ground and sprouting. It really needs this kind of slow, soaking rain.
*ice could be on the way.

Created my 2015 Yule card. Now THAT took some effort. It certainly looks good, though. Let's hope this new computer and program will allow it to be printed out properly.

Snuggled with Socks in his Cat House until he THOUGHT he wanted to go outside. It was so funny watching him consider the elements, then seemingly said to himself, "Nah, let's not do this" and turned back inside. I'm so glad he's under shelter.

Made my first ever turkey sandwich spread...damned good!

Diced 2 fresh pineapples.

More online time.

Wooooooooooooooooow, the weatherman definitely had this one right. The cold and rain has continued all day. Now the REAL cold is setting-in with continued rain. Icing is a HUGE possibility.

Okay, here goes...

The Book of Mormon #http://bookofmormonbroadway.com/tickets was absolutely amazing! Dinner at Larkspur #http://www.larkspuronline.com/ was awesome, but went just a WEE bit too long. We were late for the first number and had to wait. LOTS of cussing. LOTS of irreverence. LOTS of fun! If it wasn't for the company, I wouldn't have been concerned. Such as it was, I had to keep looking over to make sure my date and her daughter were handling it okay. It was a bit difficult understanding what they, the actors, were saying, so K_ found a few hearing devices for the 2nd half. These things made all the difference in the world! Nonetheless, they both, mother AND daughter, were ABSOLUTELY beautiful. Now what do I do with this? GODS, I could SO EASILY make a stupid ass of myself, but did all I could do to refrain. GODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully some sleep...

PM God/dess Meditation: Wotan;
All-Father God! Wandering God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! Wotan!! 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, Wotan, 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, Wotan, as we honor the Wotan that resides in us all!

Good @ work lunch, company treated debur shop to Applebees.
*Silly females chose not to go.
*one is extremely picky about what she eats.
*another is on "weight watchers".
*another simply did no want to go without the other ladies.
*just me, another guy from the shop, and the super went. It was GOOD!
*good PM work; this couple, for whom I provided a marriage ceremony last summer, HE works @ Weaver weekends, brought their newborn into the front office. HE came out to the shop to let others know. I went in, but was struck with stupidity. Why? They both smoke cigarettes. They both smoke in their house. SHE kept smoking throughout he pregnancy. The newborn had a cleft-lip #http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Hair-lip and some weird looking skin. IF YOU'RE GOING TO CARRY A PREGNANCY TO TERM, RESPECT THE LIFE! Make that life first and foremost. Stop any activity that would place that life in jeopardy in any way. I can imagine this couple COULD cosmetically correct it, but I fear a reaction that says, "Oh, you're beautiful as you are". DUMB SHITS!

Stopped by Wichita Tix office to pick up "Book of Mormon" tickets.

Stopped off at Joe's Car Wash.

Pork schnitzel, baked potato and corn for dinner.

No sign of Stubby this evening, but Long-tail paid a visit.

Thanks, mom and dad; Dennis has finally responded. It's a start.

Call into veterinarian about Toby's allergies and his prescription for it. He gave me some good advice on how to proceed.

Checked phone messages; brother was in need of my help. I may consider myself techno-stupid, but my brother is more so. He got himself into trouble on his computer. I had to go save him.

Calls into Westar and COX about sagging power lines in my back yard.

To optometrist to pick-up my new glasses...WONDERFUL!

Essie in the back yard until sunset.

WOW! Westar really did come out just after 18:30. He said the pole has started leaning in toward my house; hence, the sagging lines.

Toby and I out for a 1-mile walk on the retractable after dark.

Call into my mead-maker for Yule mead to pick-up mead in a couple of weeks.

Ya know, in many ways I prefer indoor soccer to outdoor soccer. It has all the things Americans say they don't like about soccer. Indoor is fast! Indoor is exciting! Indoor is high scoring! I'm not sure but I THINK the US game, with walls, was born IN the US. The US indoor game is different than the European "mini-football" game. "Mini-football", sanctioned by FIFA, is played with 5 a side, on a basketball sized pitch, with pitch markings the same as outdoor. This is one area I prefer an American sport over European.
World Mini-football: #http://www.eurominifootball.com/
There IS World Arena Soccer, however I don't think it's FIFA sponsored: #http://wmfworldcup.pointstreaksites.com/view/wmfworldcup

Goddamn heluh windy! Luckily Socks was ready to go into his house.

PM God/dess Meditation: Forsizo; Heil to you, son of Paltar and Nanda! We call out to you in our time of legal need. You’re the god of justice and reconciliation. We know that justice is a double-edged ax. On the one side, if our argument is just, grant us the proper conclusion. On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, mete-out justice accordingly. Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!
