Now what the hel am I doing awake this early? 

Plans: work 10hrs

AM Meditation: Wotanstac/Wednesday, we meditate on Wotan:
All-Father God!  Wandering God!  Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! Wotan!! Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wotan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, Wotan, as we honor the Wotan that resides in us all!

<>AM Armanen Rune: Ur:  
Havamal 146.
Another I name, that all need to have
Who officiate as curing healers; 
Know yourself, and you will know the world,
And learn to discern between evil and it’s causes.

Healing. that which is grasped or permanent, medical help, the healing powers of medical drugs, nurturing at the original basis, original cause, origin, root of all material and cosmic phenomena, contact with the transcendent, contact with the dead, life after mortal death, Mother-God, Creative Mother Principle, a physician’s rune and represents resurrection, eternity, and continuity, root of all material and cosmic phenomena, root of eternity, self-aware, causality; the origin of time, cause and effect in the eternal power of becoming.

Interpretation: Indecisiveness (Ehwaz) leading to healing (Ur)

Outcome: There’s another fresh blanket of snow on the ground.  Now why in the world would Socks be so insistent to come out from his house?
*soon enough, though, he’s ready to go back into his House.

There’s probably an inch, inch and a half of snow powder on the ground.

Cleared driveway and walkways. 

Good AM work; OMGs!  The parts I thought I scrapped several days ago were accepted “as is” by the customer!  I AM OUT OF HOT WATER!  Ehwaz and Ur right here! 
Good @ home for lunch, Toby back inside 
Good PM work.

Dillons petrol on the way home.

Facebook messages into cousins trying to locate pictures of my father; hey, it’s a quest! 


Call in from my WONDERFUL niece…love her!

Frozen meatloaf dinner…good enough.

I have every intent to get on the treadmill, but up so damned early this morning leaves me with no energy now.

Fell asleep in the leather recliner

Nighty-night

PM Meditation: Scata, Winter goddess, fleet on your skis and let me be the game you bag with you bow. Stun me with your grace and beauty, tuck me in the skin-sack at your side, and then take me to your home where wolves howl. There, show me the crisp freedom of winter and wilderness.  Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Aesir for the killing of your father, Thiazi, grant us the same ferocity in our lives.  Direct us to be strong, able and favored of you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SCATA, as we honor the Scata that resides in us all!

Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high. You’re the measurer and teller of time. 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!

AM Armanen Rune: Thorn: 
Havamal 147.
A third I take, when danger threatens,
To bind the enemies through magic:

Interpretation: Treachery (Ehwaz) leading to protection (Thorn)

Outcome: Now THIS is cold this morning! Socks gave outside consideration, and decided to brave it for a while. I’m sure he’ll be back in his Cat House before I leave for work.
*there he is and there he goes…back into his Cat House.

Good AM work; we are overloaded to overflowing with workload.
Good home for lunch; cooperation is a good thing.
Good PM work.

Well hel…Toby decided to destroy a box of Kleenex and help himself to some old candy…bad boy, Toby. I made sure to let him know it.

Socks is still unwilling to come out from his Cat House…smart kitty.

Leftover spaghetti for dinner

PM Meditation: Sibba, Great Goddess of Fertility and Family, wife of Donar; let us see you in all the growing things that sustain our lives. Help us look beyond the packaging and promotion, to the richness of the Earth from which all bounty comes. When ordinary eyes see only corn, let us see your golden hair hid in its silk. When others see only bread, let us see the grain, beyond that, your smile and laughter. Feed our might and main, Holy Sibba, that we may do our work in the world. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SIBBA, as we honor the Sibba that resides in us all!

Essie in the backyard under my watchful eye.

Ya know, life really is good. I don’t make a lot of money, but I make enough…for now. I just can’t have any major financial or household emergencies. I don’t have a fancy home, but it’s my home. It’s not lavishly furnished, but it’s comfortably furnished. I may not have a significant other or children, but I have furry babies I love tremendously. Reiterating, life is good.

Festive decorations placed up on the porch; yeah, I’m a bit early. To the corner convenience store for newspaper

McDs for 2nd breakfast

*two burritos

*two hash-browns

*large sweet tea

*sausage muffin for Toby

Bank

*Milk-bone for Toby


Taylor Made Bows has my tailor made arrows ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I posted a pic on Facebook of a really cool Victorian style home style home in purple, black and white. A friend said they had one similar in their town and I said we had one, too. The picture challenge was on! I set out to get a pic of the Cattleman’s Home in Mid-town. 


While out, I stopped off at FedEx to get copies for yet another RTAA mailing; requested by my RTAA rep until Topeka sends the exhaustion of funds letter.

Ah hel, I also stopped in at Family Video and ended up spending about $20 on four haunted/possession videos.


Prepared RTAA for tomorrow’s post.


Since I’ve been back online, I’ve forgotten to mention;

Vikings, on the History channel, on DVD

*episodes 204, 205 and 206, watched.


Yummy supper; ground turkey steak w/onions, baked potato, and freshly steamed asparagus.


JsFnChst…lazy now

(Nebulmond = Mist Month)

Computer is running MUCH better this morning.

Plans: clean house

Picture
AM Meditation: Saturn’s Day/Saturday/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit, we meditate on Frouwa and 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!

<>

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!

Toby to Meeka park for his walk.

Essie and Toby in the back yard to enjoy one of the last nice days. OMGs, I found two baby possum cadavers. Toby’s been busy!

Vikings, episode 203; Treachery, on DVD
*I truly love this series! Yeah, I admit my bias.

2nd breakfast with Toby @ McDs
Copies @ FedEx
Prepared RTAA for today’s post, for perhaps the last time as my RTAA account may have exhausted.

Neighbor lady once again brought over some more food offerings from her visit to the food bank. While I appreciate her kindness, goddamn smokers just fucking STINK! Do they not realize this? She left a book. I immediately read the first chapter, but had to put it down. Hel, EVEN THE BOOK STINKS OF SMOKE! I don’t know if I’ll be able to read it because of that.

Cleaned house

A load of laundry

My WONDERFUL nice came over with her WONDERFUL family (and I put up with him for her). I love it how the kids make themselves at home.

8PM and tired…

Nighty night

PM Meditation: Saga, you’re the goddess of history; part and parcel of our ever expanding past. As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories. Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come. Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull. For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will some day have to deal with our spiritual debt. We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.

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.

That which is offered, freedom, Wodanic 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.

Interpretation: Loyalty (Ehwaz) leading to freedom (Os)

Outcome: Toby frustrated me three times to and from Meeka Park.

Essie tether less in the back yard, but with the tether in MY hand along with my watchful eye.

Wonderful sunny-side-up eggs and turkey sausage with gravy on biscuits.

To brother’s with trash

Finished mowing the back yard with hopes of it being the last time.

Exercise routine #3
*abs, 4 sets of 25, +20lbs
*full squats, 3 sets of 12, un-weighted
*elevated toe raises, 3 sets of 12, un-weighted
*dead lift. 3 sets of 10, 30lb dumbbells

I’m really feeling the effects of this exercise routine schedule.

OMGs…“Total Recall” on TBS…it’s almost laughable now.

Last night, after I posted to journal and blog, I decided to watch Vikings, episode 202 (see beginning of this entry) as an afterthought. I got so drunk last night I was glad I already posted, but today, I needed to again review the episode to make sure I understood it all.

I don’t have much room to keep plants. Currently, I’ve had one resting inside an eastern windowsill since it was a baby. Now, it has outgrown its crib and is time to replant. Replanting was a success.

Call in from OKC

AM Meditation: Frijastac/Friday, we meditate on Frija:
Frija, Great All-Mother; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home.  Teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Laf: 
Havamal 158.
A fourteenth I sing to the assembled Folk
When naming the divine names;
The Aesir and Alves and their various kinds
No one can spell out without learning.


Determination, Urlag; life fate and destiny, life as law, life following the law, experience, test, temptations by life-circumstances, water, sea, good management, test of life, school of the lives, relations, defeat and the laws of nature, life and primal law, psychic & spiritual awareness, cosmic flow, seeds of thought, the etheric part of the body, initiation that experiences life on earth as a continuous process of initiation, The Cosmic Ocean.

Interpretation: Disharmony (Ehwaz) leading to determination (Laf).

Outcome: It’s BEAUTIFULLY chilly!

Good AM work, not paying attention to attitudes.
Stayed at work for lunch.

PM Meditation: Forsizo; Heil to you, son of Paltar and Nanda!  We call out to you in our time of legal need.  You’re the god of justice and reconciliation.  We know that justice is a double-edged ax.  On the one side, if our argument is just, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, mete-out justice accordingly.  Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!

AM Meditation: Wodanstac/Wednesday, we meditate on Wodan:
All-Father God!  Wandering God!  Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN!! Son to
Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ . WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

AM Elder Rune: Ehwaz (U): Horse, the special, controlled relationship between a rider and a horse, taking control of a situation, adaptability, following one’s instincts, teamwork, trust, loyalty, partnership, cooperation in relationships and with higher-powers, instinct, intuition, working in tandem with another, toward a single goal.

AM Armanen Rune: Thorn: 
Havamal 147.
A third I take, when danger threatens,
To bind the enemies through magic:
Thus I dull the steel of the furious opponent.
Like the staff, his sword does not cut anymore.

Donar, protection from danger, impermeable, an awakening, the power to turn, the divine will to act, the law of eternal reincarnation, power to become, Return, new emergence from what's apparently old and dried-up, formative power of the seed, the thunderbolt, targeting goals, activity and the phallus, mental telepathy, projection of the will, fierce protection, psychic attack & defense, penetrating time & space, Rune of opposing polarities and of joining opposites, binding of and victory over the enemy.

Interpretation: Control (Ehwaz) leading to protection (Thorn).

Outcome: Could rain today.

Doable AM work…at least functional.
Home for lunch, a bit of light rain.  All babies under shelter.
Better PM work, seemingly feeling a bit better than AM.
*Nice gentle rain.

Surprisingly good bacon wrapped turkey filets (from frozen).  I still eat WAY too much.

Family front yard time for EVERYBODY!
*Essie on her first walk off the tether, but on a leash.  She went a house
either direction investigating.  She was very deliberate in her searching, and
there were all sorts of “I’m not comfortable with this” growls.  Nonetheless, I
thought it was a successful first walk on a leash.

PM Meditation: Brego, long-bearded god; son of Wodan and Gunnlod; husband of Ostara; you’re the god of poetry and eloquence; the adherent god of skalds.  You have the Runes carved on your tongue.  Your inspiration is enhanced by a drink from the glorious mead.  Our oath to you, as we partake upon your silver cup called Bregofull; we swear our never-ending faith and allegiance to
the gods and ways of our ancestors.  We stand firm with them as we live our lives to the fullest.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, BREGO, as we honor the Brego that resides in us all!

AM Meditation: Ziustac/Tuesday, we meditate on Ziu:
Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, 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 our 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 A
MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

Outcome: Socks was conflicted about in or out, but soon enough decided in…smart kitty!

AM work went well.  Comments to follow.
Home for lunch.  The heat is on.  I didn’t give Socks an option to come out.
PM work went well.  Coming up on finishing 90-days probation (which makes no
sense since I was there more than 90 days with the temp service).  Medical,
Dental and Life insurance info was made available.

During work I though much about my Uncle Jake.  I remembered him from when I
was a wee lad.  I THINK he was Mother’s Uncle, so my memories of him come from
me being roughly 5yrs old or so.  I remember his house being on the west side,
close to Mayberry Jr. High area, north of Maple St.  His house wasn’t very
large, but it had a large crawlspace which dictated a raised porch.  Uncle Jake
wore denim bib overalls and wore a train engineer’s hat.  He had a large nose. 
I remember enjoying him very much.

Also during work we had another critter visitor.  This time it was a wolf spider; obviously a momma with babies on her back.  I tried very carefully to collect the whole she-bang, but momma made a sudden move.  All the babies scattered.  I was able to collect a few of them AND momma to take them outside.  Momma will live to have more babies another day. 

I’ve also been thinking about Fat Cat and YaWK.  I am concerned their absence
coincides with the demolishing of the vacant house at McCormick and Everett.  I
don’t even dare voice my actual concerns, but I don’t think they fared well.  

104F/40C at home thermometer.

Well shit, not a good time for the Haruc a/c to go out.

Now, how long has it been since I simply heated up a can of soup for dinner? 
YUM!  Oh, that coupled with two ears of corn.

Gave Toby a good brushing.

My “Runestone” book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1166327.Runestone arrived!

Earlier to bed for a better night’s sleep.

PM Meditation: Paltar, blameless god, gloriously shining god, restoration god, beloved son of Wodan and Frija.  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 is to avoid evil, and seek the good. Inspired by you, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving this life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!
