Havamal 151.
A seventh I learned, if the hall is burning
With fire around bench and comrades;
However bright it burns, I will banish the blaze,
As soon I sing the magic chant.
To enclose/destroy, introspection, awareness, eternal change, the Mother of all Runes, the cohesion of the world, the Alle Mutter, Frija, that which cares and maintains, protects, and preserves; that which is motherly; wisdom, harmony, salvation, blessing, protects from hail and fire, eternal change, caring and maintaining principle in the Universe, Higher Self, the perfect human being, Divine within, the Rune of humanity, married to the World, Rune of enclosure but contains a potential for growth, builder/architect of the worlds, the macrocosm of the world itself.
“Harbor the All in yourself, and you will control the All” (List, 54).
<>
Interpretation: Alienation (Othilla) drives me to the Alle Mutter (Hagal).
*BRILLIANT!
<>
Outcome: rough night, restless…but was able too sleep-in until WAY past sunrise.

1st breakfast; cold cereal with a banana

Toby and I out for a 1-mile walk. WTF, TOBY? Why did you take it upon yourself to run down a driveway into the street? MAJOR violation! You’re on the retractable for about half the walk. He looked at me contritely, but he was NOT coming off the retractable with THAT kind of violation!

Finally have my glucose monitor figured out and to WHY I was getting the error message. Called into the VA L2 program to let them know I’ll start logging-in tomorrow.
*today’s reading, even though non-fasting: 115 glucose/254lbs

Call into Weaver HR person with a question for her because she’s the lesser of two evils. Looks like due to my leaving PCC, I lost any bonus available, but will get the merit raise money due me since June 1st, to be handed out later this week.
*a thought: the PTO that Brittain has to pay me will be MORE than any bonus, so I’m not hurt in this.
<>
2nd breakfast; 2-egg omelet with cheese, potato coins, turkey bacon, whole-wheat toast with strawberry spread.
<>
Neighbor lady over with more excess she received from the food bank. It helps me out filling my pantry.
<>
To heartland Coin Gallery to sell my class rings. Once again, my Associates Degree proved pointless as it’s made of White Lustrium, not silver; useless to them. I got $150 out of my Bachelor’s Degree ring.

I generally haven’t paid attention to the Olympics in Rio; at least not yet. For one thing, I cannot stand watching men play volleyball. Watching women play volleyball, now THAT’S another story. While watching the USA women play Serbia, I noticed a player I remember from watching Nebraska U. volleyball: Jordan Larson http://www.teamusa.org/usa-volleyball/athletes/Jordan-LarsonBurbach

Okay, NOW NBC made the mistake of advertising NBCOlympics.com where I can watch the live events I want to watch:
Rugby: Great Britain v Argentina http://stream.nbcolympics.com/mens-rugby-quarterfinals
*WOW! Only 2-fifteen minute periods, or did I miss something?
*end of regular time: 0-0
*end of 1st extra time: Great Brittain wins, 5-0

ÜBER humid! Computer says 91F…Wx guy saying feels like 109F

Star Wars; Episode I- The Phantom Menace…I’ve never seen this all the way through. Damned good!
