Email at work told us to exercise caution about tomorrow’s snowstorm.  We were encouraged not to take chances, but we would get an extra $100 for the day if we complete our shift.  It seems we could get anywhere between 3-5”.  Goddamn Wichita will be crippled!

It seems the Super was a pain in the ass tonight.  We’ve been told it’s okay to behave one way, then the Super moves the goal-posts into another direction.  When the news of his flip-flopping got to ME, it was enough for me to make sure to stay steadily busy, not rushing busy.  I stayed steadily busy right up to 11:30.

​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Manostag) 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!
