*Long-tail alerted me to a problem on the porch.  At first I thought he finished his and was wanting more, which would be unusual for him.  His usual MO is to accept what’s given, be grateful, then run off.  Instead, he was at the window telling me something was amiss.  That damn cat from across the street was eating his breakfast.  I went outside to SHOO him away, and he hissed at me.  I got in his face and his right back at him.  He jumped off over the side.  When I went to make sure he was gone, he was waiting on the dark side of the porch.  I again shooed him away.  Stubby and Long-tail have my devoted protection.

AM Armanen Rune: Os: 
Havamal 148.
The fourth one I know, when a foe has tied up
My arms and hands;
The fetters fall from my leg, when I chant that song,
And off my hands the ropes come.
 
Mouth, arising, ashes, the power of speech/song, that which is offered, freedom, Wotanic energies, leadership, mouth, speech, the effort to convince, deed following the word, the Divine Breath, kingship, discussion, idea of that which is given/evolving, the spiritual power that is gained through speech, it is the breath of the world, its voice, strength that a person needs to rise up in power, freedom from the bondage of the material world.

Good AM work; driving on, seemingly doing well.
*the guy who hired-on the same time as me was absent today.  He “claimed” car trouble.  I didn’t mention anything to anyone, but I knew, since Friday, or even as early as Thursday, he was having relationship issues.  He had all sorts of plans for his gf’s birthday over the weekend; that was, before the issues.  I wonder if his absence was somehow related to this?
*Mannaz/Os here?
*I’ve noticed this previously, how the Runes, every once in a while, have a tendency to look at others around me.  It IS interesting.
@ work lunch, still looking for a place to read.  I tried simply putting in my earplugs…won’t work.
Good PM work; driving on with more difficult stuff.

Holy shit, I come home, only to find my brother pulling into my driveway right behind me.  WYF, brother?  LOL…evidently he just finished mowing his yard and remembered our conversation with me having a hard time completing mine over the weekend.  HE SHOWED UP WITH HIS MOWER!  I told him he was so silly.  I let him mow the hindmost part while I mowed Agathagart.  Job done by 4:30PM/16:30.

I tried to long onto my Spirit account to finish a few things.  I was told I would be able to access it from home, but such was not the case.  They’re just going to have to give me some time to complete things at work.

PM God/dess Meditation: Nirdu, brother-husband to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Frô and the Frouwa, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to our doors daily from the wonderful Universe in which we live. Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!
