Plans: My Love My Fiancée, work 9hrs

Well godsdamnit, I have to throw in this early note.  Last night (6th), there were fireworks at the baseball stadium, probably a mile away or so, and Toby went berserk in the backyard.  Not only did he once again tear siding off the back part of the house, he chewed the wooden piece at the bottom of the back door.  Sadly, this has become a habit.  I’ve had Toby for five years and he has NEVER been this destructive, so something has changed in him.  Now, unfortunately for Toby, I have to devise a way to keep him from any contact with the house. 
*okay, everything is tacked up…

Elder Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today
<> ​
Picture
Elder Rune: Algiz: Protection/shielding, Heimo (the genetic connection between gods and the Folk), guardian of Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, expansion of archetypal consciousness, awareness, divine realizations, an awakening, drawing on the natural Will, invocation/supplication to the gods, preparedness, sanctuary, embracing the Divine plan, a safe harbor, connection with current events, the Elk, or swan.
Conversely:
Outside the favor of Heimo, failure to integrate humanity with the Divine, without divine protection, possible dangers lurking, lack of preparedness, inability to embrace fear, failure to face the ultimate good in all things, tested by the natural Will/Universal voice, without the need for protection, the inability to see/understand/connect with what’s coming, an aspect of death, helplessness.

Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today

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.
 
The scald, awakening, passion, mystery, comprehension of the diving from below upward; from humanity outward, secrecy, gift/giver, gift of life, that which is best for the individual, fulfillment, sacred marriage, being ONE with the sister soul, protection against evil forces, being/seeing the Divine, the cosmic consciousness and the divine principle, two forces having a singular origin, the spiritual ego, death-life cycle, protection against evil forces, union of the gods and the World, the uninterrupted chain in the cycle of eternal returns, the Creator and the Created, the deepest mysteries of the Universe, the end.
“Man, be one with God” (List, 67).

Interpretation: Protection (Algiz) leads to an awakening (Gibor)

My Love isn’t well this morning.

Toby about got his ass kicked by another dog because he didn’t respond quickly to a voice command.  I had to quickly leash him and pull him away.  Troubling walk because I’m still angry with him for ripping off the siding.  He already knows what he did.  There’s no reason to continue to punish him.
*mild, muggy, overcast, no breeze…

Brät wrapped in a tortilla and onion rings for lunch.

I know she says not to, but I can’t help but worry about My Love My Fiancée.

Mowed the front yard.  Why?  I did a crappy job two weeks ago, and it rained Saturday.  There’s more rain coming through this week.  This was the only day to take care of my bad mowing job.  Besides, it didn’t even take half an hour…no biggie.

Toby has just seemed contrite all day from his berserker shit yesterday.  My heart went out to him.  Just prior to work, Toby was pathetically licking the very last morsel of wet food from his plate, so as a token of peace, I gave him another can, which he gladly devoured. 
*
As I was leaving, I heard Socks.  I looked up, I looked down.  I looked all around, then, OMGs…the crawlspace!  Sure enough, there he was calling to me from one of the screened vents.  I immediately ripped off the back-porch cover, and Socks so gladly came out and into his house.

Work started dangerously.  My first order of parts on the table shaper had my fingers within an inch of an open cutter.  Believe me, I was ÜBER cautious.  The rest of the night went well.

God/dess Meditation: Mano, god of the moon:
Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high.  You’re the measurer and teller of time.  You’re the counterpart to Sunna, the feminine aspect of the sun.  As you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano, let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!
