Plans: fur kids, 1st Day of Yule
<>

Mothers’ Night welcomes in the Season of Yule. As we encourage the return of Sunna (the feminine aspect of the sun) we honor the feminine all around us. Honor the Idises, Asynjor, all mothers, great-grandmothers and your feminine ancestors. Raise a horn to the glorious women who give birth to us and to the feminine spirits that support us. Give this time in honor to all aspects of mothering. (C. Reimer/V. Elmersson/Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson)
Laxdaela Saga Chapter 7: After that Unn went into the hall and a great company with her, and when all seats were taken in the hall, everyone was much struck by the lordliness of the feast. Then Unn said: "Bjorn and Helgi, my brothers, and all my other kindred and friends, I call witnesses to this, that this dwelling with all its belongings that you now see before you, I give into the hands of my kinsman, Olaf, to own and to manage." After that Unn stood up and said she would go to the bower where she was wont to sleep, but bade everyone have for pastime whatever was most to his mind, and that ale should be the cheer of the common folk. So the tale goes, that Unn was a woman both tall and portly. She walked at a quick step out along the hall, and people could not help saying to each other how stately the lady was yet. They feasted that evening till they thought it time to go to bed. But the day after Olaf went to the sleeping bower of Unn, his grandmother, and when he came into the chamber there was Unn sitting up against her pillow, and she was dead. Olaf went into the hall after that and told these tidings. Everyone thought it a wonderful thing, how Unn had upheld her dignity to the day of her death.

I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me. I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side. I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

*well shit! When I tried to file, their online page said ERROR and that it was protecting itself from hacking. I tried it more than one to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing. I called the office, only to get a lengthy message about Dec 12th was the last issued benefit. Called my brother asking him if he had filed this week to which he said he had. I told him what I was seeing. He said he saw that too but it was working now. With him on the phone I tried it; same thing. I told him I was coming over to file. Once there it flew right trough. Now just wait to see if it did any good.
*THEN, I notice my great niece was at brother’s. I asked him what she was doing there and he told me that her mother, S_, was there in the bedroom. He told me if I wanted to know I would have to ask her. Going in, I learned that there was all sorts of shit going on with her family. SHE was almost in the hospital and her husband WAS in the Larned State Hospital undergoing evaluation https://www.kdads.ks.gov/state-hospitals-and-institutions/larned-state-hospital and that she was standing by him.
