Essie back out in the back yard for a while. Essie's not a jumper or a climber. She's a bush dweller. I know Toby won't hurt her. She can't get through the fence, so I don't worry about her tremendously anymore.

This morning, I chose to "follow" my Minister brother @ his church and he posts this (do I dare think he must really think I'm evil?):
""For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying always with all prayer and supplication for all the saints " Ephesians 6:12-18

When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help is to avoid evil, and seek the good. 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!

I actually had a pretty damned good time with the other Coasties in today's Veterans parade. Good contacts were also made with other Veterans around us. Like me years ago, we pulled another Coastie from the crowd to walk with us.

We were all invited to Eddy's Chevrolet/Cadillac for a free BBQ after the parade. I went, but there was such a huge line that wasn't moving quickly. Checking out the situation, I discovered they MAY have underestimated the turn-out for their invitation. I readily ascertained they just couldn't make burger fast enough on their insufficient grill. I didn't stay.

Futile search for a Coast Guard flag to hang on Wednesday; the actual Veteran's Day.

Bionic Burger for a very late lunch.

Essie in back yard largely unattended.

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 someday 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.

AM Armanen Rune: Gibor:
Havamal 163.
An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never
Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.

Toby and I out to Meeka Park plus 4/5 of a mile.

Called my Flex-Plan company to get my balance. WOO-HOO, I still have room to pay off my eyeglasses, pay off my prescription bill with the VA, and still have money left over to finish the year. LOL, I may be living on the edge of poverty, but I certainly manage what I DO have, well.

2nd breakfast; cereal with golden raisins.

Cleaned out the car; ready for a wash.

Hollywood Alterations; patches sewed onto vest.
Paid off eyeglasses

*LOVE the indoor game.

Socks has been a very good boy by sleeping on my bed for most of the evening. Still, I don't trust him to be good for any length of time. As soon as he was awake, I picked him up, scratched his neck, carried him to the back door and gently placed him outside. Things get rather tense with him inside; not in a violent kind of way, but with my ability to keep an eye on this adult cat whose manners suck.

From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. 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!

Not as many trick-or-treaters as I'd hoped. They all got BUNCHES of candy.
* I thoroughly enjoyed dressing up in urban camo to hand out treats.


Went out by myself to see Crimson Peak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oquZifON8Eg Understand I don't go to see many movies, let alone go to a movie by myself. This movie, however, was right up my alley. It truly was made just for me! I LOVE haunted house movies. I LOVE period pieces. HAHAHA...I was still in urban camo and make up to go see it. If and or when it comes out on DVD, this is going to one for me to keep. It was THAT good. I don't think it's been to well favored by others, but who gives a rat's ass. It's one I DO need to see another time, maybe more.


Socks behaved himself while I was @ the movie. It seemed he really didn't want to go back outside, but I've told him, trust is an issue between him and me.


THE KC ROYALS DID IT! THEY WON GAME #4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/sam-mellinger/article42119340.html
Series now stands KC Royals 3, Mets 1. Now they come back to Kansas City to finish off the series, hopefully with a win. I don't really care about baseball, but this MLB Championship Series has been fun to follow.


Set all clocks back an hour for this GODDAMN, INFERNAL time change.


Shower, to get off this make-up, bed, nighty-night.

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!

November/Nebulmánòd 1, 2015 Sunnastag 

11/1/2015

( Nebulmánõd = Mist month)


Why can't time be left alone so time can be what time wants to be; or rather, the human concept of it? Okay, I understand we've gone from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time. We need to come off this messing-with-time shit. The clock says 05:30, but my body clock still says 06:30. I truly hate the time-change thing. Sure, it's easier going from fall-back rather than spring-forward. Hel, in a sense, I got an extra hour of sleep, or rather, was able to stay up an extra hour to get things done. Come spring-forward, it's gonna suck.

“Use your fate, do not strive against it” (List, 55).


Interpretation: Beginnings (Fehu) leading to fate (Not).


Outcome: Why do we need this time change anyway?
1st breakfast; cornflakes with golden raisins added, and a whole wheat English muffin.


Essie out back @ sunrise
Toby and I out for a 1.25 mile walk


Bundesliga http://www.bundesliga.com/en/
Stuttgart 2, Darmstadt 0
Hamburger 1, Hannover 2


Test driving an old pair of steel-toed shoes with inserts to hopefully use at work. Why? Simply because they're more of a boot type.


Covered A/C units for the winter.


2 loads of laundry


2nd breakfast; eggs-n-cheese omelet, turkey bacon and hash-browns from frozen: YUM!!!!!!!!


Started planning Yule decorations for the house. Understand, electrical outlets are a problem in older houses like mine. It's exacerbated by what outlets are available that simply don't work, and I don't have the money to hire an electrician to come fix it. So, I had to become ingenious to find ways around the problem. Problem solved. Last year, because of outlet problems, I didn't put up any lights at all around the porch. I won't get on a ladder anymore to put up lights around the trim. If I cant put up lights with my feet fixed firmly on Terra-firma, it's not gonna happen. I was able to put up some old lights around the porch-rail, affix my "Good Yule" sign and the Yule wreath. Much more to be set later.


Separated recyclables and tweaked the process a bit.


Overdue calls into family and friends.
