Plans: work 10hrs
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!

Havamal 155.
This I know as an eleventh, when
I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.
Will, victory, success, gain, well-being, victorious and happy, blessing from above, successful fight, achieved goal, school, and salvation by light, inspiration, soul, and power of the sun, inspiration, soul, life force, wholeness, reliable success, healing, good luck, spiritual completion, and the path of the soul, Rune of the spiritual ray, of inspiration, wisdom, and illumination.
Interpretation: Evolution (Hagalaz) leading to victory (Sig).
Outcome: What the hel is it with these kitty-kat treats? Socks is so willing to stay in his Cat House to get his. He was out for a while this AM, but BAM back inside for his treat.
Good AM work; workload remains high
At work for lunch; I drafted a “thank you” letter for my RTAA rep
*I made my first step to involvement with my employer by becoming an official “safety rep” and attended my first meeting.
*since the workload is remaining high, I am asking about more overtime to the tune of a 53hr work-week. I’ll know the answer by Thursday.
Well shit, my “Good Yule” decoration continues to deteriorate. At first I thought someone was making their way onto my porch, but I got it now.
Turkey hotdogs, mixed veggies and macaroni casserole…with a secret sauce*…YUM!
My electric Yuletide window candles arrived today.
Rewrote the letter to my TAA rep in Word. Here is what I wrote:
===============================================================
“As I come to the end of my involvement with the TAA program, I would be remiss not to send my most heart-felt “thank you” for all you’ve done. Generally, government programs get a bad-rap, but this has been the most phenomenal government program I could have ever envisioned. The TAA program has:
paid for schooling at the Wichita Area Technical College
paid for books and supplies
paid unemployment when unemployment expired
continued to financially aid me as I reentered the workforce.
Without you, none of this would have been possible. Thank you so much.
Please extend this “thank you” to G_, as well.
With Gratitude,
(signed)”
