Last night, I went to the Boost Mobile store by 6pm anticipating them to be open until 8pm.  JsFnChst!  They were closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today, I went to Best Buy.  WTF?  They’re closed too?  Signage said they’ll reopen Dec 2.
Back to the Boost Mobile store. 
*Yes, open, but didn’t have what I needed.  It took a customer to pull something out of car to give me what I needed.  I asked him, “How might I repay your kindness?”  His response was a handshake and “Thank you for your service.”
While waiting at the Boost Store, I purposed to report this store for their failures (yes, plural).  I found out that one icon on my phone was useless.  I downloaded the proper icon that for some reason was deleted.  With the proper on my phone, I proceeded to contact someone on the other end to voice my frustrations.  I was assured that my complaint was going to be taken to the higher level and something would be done about it.  It would be nice if Boost contacted me telling me what they did do.  We shall see what we shall see.

Worked on the 2019 Yule card; lookin’ good!
<> 

I want to mention how I came to call Saturday, Tag der Fruchtbarkeit.
Mon-Fri and then Sun can be attributed to a Norse deity.  My origins within Heathenry said that Saturday was named after an obscure god/dess, Saeter, but, right or wrong, I fully came to believe this was a concoction of the AFA (Asatru Folk Assembly); hence, I had a problem relating to this.  Further, I knew that Saturday is also known as “Laugardagr” which mean “wash day” in Norse.  I believe this was a later invention during some Norse language shift https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/laugardagr.  SO, we know this day here in America as Saturday.  According to the Greek/Romans, it was “Saturn’s Day.”  Saturn, among other things, is the god of fertility https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/gods/saturn/ https://www.britannica.com/topic/Saturn-god.
Within my Heathen belief system, Friday is troubling because of Frigg (Frija), Freya (Frouwa) and Freyr (Ing-Fro).  There are many who choose to recognize Freya on Friday, totally leaving out Freyr.  I choose to recognize Frigg, the All-Mother on Friday because of these links:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/friggatriskaidekaphobia
http://skepdic.com/friggatriskaidekaphobia.html
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/friday-the-13th-friggatriskaidekaphobia_n_59e0e583e4b0a52aca178c4e
That, however. leaves out two important Norse deities, Freya and Freyr.  Understand, too, many gods and goddesses of the Vanir are nature deities.  With the understanding that Saturn is a god of fertility, and Freya, along with Freyr, are equally fertility deities, it just makes sense to me to call Saturday, Day of Fertility (Tag der Fruchtbarkeit auf Deutsch).  Granted, this is a/an UPG (Unverified Personal Gnosis) but it’s MY personal gnosis.  I OWN IT, AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT!  I’M STICKING WITH IT!

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!
*source: combination AFA Book of Uncommon Prayers, and C.Reimer/V.Elmersson
<> 
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!

God/dess Meditation: Donar:
Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba with the Golden Hair, 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!

God/dess Meditation: Ziu
Ziu, god of selflessness; of war & glory, one-handed god, sacrificial god, Sergeant at Arms at the Thing, enforcer of law & order, bravest of all gods; you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you.  WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Sunnastag) Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wodan and Frija.  Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life.  Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help us to avoid evil and seek the good. Inspired by your example, 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!

Picture
God/dess Meditation: (alternate Donarstag) Die [(German for feminine “the”) (pronounced “Dee”)] 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” forms now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
