February/Hȇrmânôd 12, 2017 Manostag

Plans: my love my fiancée, work 8hrs
<> 
I hope I dodged a bullet first thing this morning.  Last night, I noticed my chest freeze wasn’t working.  Early this morning I was researching to purchase chest freezers @ Best Buy.  I got this wild hair of a notion, thinking, maybe the power strip went bad; it IS pretty old.  I found a suitable extension chord, plugged it in and WAH-LAH, it seemed to take off.  Now, I’m on freezer watch to make sure.

Elder Rune: Gebo: The mystical union of gift and giver, repay gift for gift, generosity, a fair exchange between people or gods and the Luck that accompanies it; freely exchanged, obligations, contracts, relationships, sometimes sexual, sacrifice, and hospitality, do not take more than we are willing to give, the voluntary sacrifice of resources.

​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.
 
Freedom from bondage, the power of speech/song, mouth, arising, ashes, that which is offered, 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.

Outcome: 8hrs of sleep and only one wake-up?  NICE!

Yesterday afternoon’s conversation with my love my fiancée revealed good reason to have canceled this weekend.  It wasn’t bad at all here all weekend, but in Arkansas:
“Ok. Glad we canceled. It's been hailing, and snow is coming. I would have been caught in it in the most treacherous part of the drive.”
*Gebo/Os

2 breakfast sandwiches from frozen.

Yup, it seems the chest freezer is back in operating condition!  YAY!
*Gebo/Os

As we’re coming up on the minimum 60 days, I called the VA for an update and progress of them sending my insurance info to my attorney.  Nothing available, other than a promise to send an email to regional for an update…smh.
<> 
Well, Hela, those frozen breakfast sandwiches were unsatisfying. 
Wild hair #2
French toast with leftover scrambled eggs...no THAT was yummy!
<>
Now that was the quickest call back ever from the VA.  They told me my attorney has had my information since circa Jan 20th. 
Call into attorney’s Legal-Assistant.  Will return call.
*Gebo/Os?
<> 
FINALLY got some online help to fix my Word program.  YAY!  It worked!
<> 
Okay, I have NO IDEA what to call it.  I just started throwing things together in a pan:
*whole grain rotini noodles
*ground turkey
*ham
*onion
*sweet peppers
*two cans of spicy tomatoes
*salsa
*DAMNED GOOD!

Toby and I out for a noon hour, well behaved, 30min walk.
*cool, mostly sunny/high clouds, north/northeast breeze

I don’t know what it is with Essie.  Two or three times she wanted to go into the back yard, which I prefer, and she was soon ready to come back inside.  However, she can spend endless time in the front yard if I would let her.  I had to corral her inside so I could have some lunch.
<> 
One more call into attorney.  We’re close to moving forward.  I have over $7,000 in medical bills, more than $3,000 with the VA alone in their emergency room.  The demand letter will be forthcoming.
<> 
Not much initially on the table shaper, so I played in layout/drill trim.  Soon enough, my bread-n-butter parts showed up.  All in all I turned in close to or more than 13hrs of work for an 8hrs shift.

Last check on all fur-kids; Socks outside, Socks back inside soon enough…smart kitty.

​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!
