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.

Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today

Elder Rune: Hagalaz: The cosmic seed of potential, a sacred enclosure/shell, shaping, evolution, sacred protection within, holiness, a type of Godotuom; destruction/regeneration, evolution, destructive elements, unavoidable unpleasantness, pruning, potentially destructive but change will occur on its own given time.  Embrace the necessary destruction.  Don't rail against it.  Benefit from it.

Armanen Rune: Laf: 
Havamal 159:
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, learned knowledge, singing before the All, presentation, 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.
“First learn to steer, then dare the sea-journey” (List, 60).

Interpretation: Evolution ((Hagalaz) brings determination (Laf).

Call in from State Farm agent.  He really wants my business, as compared to me new Farmers agent who evidently does not.  I AM leaning to State Farm.

Toby and I out for a noon hour, well behaved, 30min walk.
*sparsely cloudy, mild, stout south breeze.

Ya know, this sleeping-in until 10am just screws up everything, as my day has to be tightly structured to ensure a ready-to-go for work.  I HAVE to sit down for lunch @ 1:30pm. 
For instance:
*Up by 9am
*Check on fur kids and feed them
*Feed me
*Journaling/blogging/online
*Walk Toby by 11:30am, which lets me know I’m on schedule.
*Exercise
*Lunch; I GENERALLY neither microwave nor open a can, but whatever I DO make, I make extra to take to work with me. 
*Get ready for work @ 2:15pm/personal hygiene/change/pack dinner bucket
*Leave for work @ 3pm
BUT
Waking up any later than 9am screws up everything.
<> 
No time for exercises.

Plant based meat alternative with onion salt and chopped jalapeños mixed-in, topped with pepper-jack cheese + broccoli florets from frozen with butter + baked potato topped with butter + two scoops of ice cream.

O…M…Gs!  Sometimes my 1st shift colleague and I get to laughing so uproariously one could easily ascertain we were insane.  For some time, we have laughed about the term, “That’s a blessing” that started with an MLS player who has the last name, Blessing.  We have repeatedly said, “Now dat’s a blessing” to each other for one reason or another.  Today, he was joking about how I have a 1st shift black colleague, 2nd shift has a black manager, and a black lead.  He said, “You’re surrounded!”  Then I recalled that I also am getting ready to take on a black insurance agent, who told me today that his daughter was in the Friends U. production of “The Nutcracker.”  He further said, “That’s a blessing.”  THE UPROARIOUS LAUGHTER ENSUED!
 
An email from the company, verified via a crew meeting, the company is asking us to stay away longer than the allotted December break due to “the delay in the return to service of the 737 MAX, Spirit will soon begin to accumulate more aircraft in onsite storage than was originally planned or anticipated.”  Along with the regular Dec break, they want us to take off Dec 23rd, Jan 2nd and 3rd  on our dime.  DEAL!  The company is also offering “…an advance against their future vacation/ETO balance.”  WOW!  Short of a layoff, they REALLY want us to stay away.  That’s not a horrible idea.
*14hrs+ turned in for an 8hr shift thanks to three hand-forming orders that gave 665 min for doing nothing, or next to nothing.  I’ll take that action all night long!  2hrs.+ saved for tomorrow.

Last check on all fur-kids.

2am nighty night.

God/dess Meditation: Wodan; Alle-Vater Gott!  Wandering god!  Rune god! Wolf god! Raven god! Wodan!! Husband to Frija, the Alle-Mutter.  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!
