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, a constant renewal of life in rebirth, protection from danger, enemies bound through magic, 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.
“Preserve your ego” (List, 51).

1st check on all fur-kids; it’s a bit chilly this morning, so I turned on Socks’ 2nd heat source.

Outcome: good 6 ½ hours of sleep; well rested

Breakfast from frozen

Inspirited by my new picture window, I rearranged the dining room area so it reflects more of a dining area rather than a work-out area; moved the treadmill and incline bench of to the side, yet easily accessible.
*since I was scrubbing the dining room floor, I also scrubbed the kitchen floor.

This guy at work listens to Pandora on his smart-phone. I REALLY like some of the things that come across it. So, I created my own Pandora account on my desk-top. So far, I’ve created:
*two fifties channels
*a 60s channel
*a 70s channel
*an 80s channel
*a classic metal channel
*two contemporary metal channels

Toby and I out for an exceptionally well-behaved 30min walk.

Lunch from frozen; I have SO MUCH in my freezer and deep-freezer I could probably live on what’s in there for a month.

I’m purposely going to work w/o a hat, just to get a rise out of people
Stopped off at a QT near work for a newspaper
A rather boring night of work; nothing on the shaper table.
*chatted with the Super about the upcoming employee shuffle. No doubt staying on 2nd. There’s still a chance I could stay in my current shop. Other than that, there’s not much information being shared.
*Wunjo/Thorn

Last check on all fur-kids; Socks is ready to go out for the night to be a kitty.

Frija, Great Alle-Mutter; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, wife to Alle-Vater Wotan. 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!
