My sinuses were uncooperative overnight causing uncomfortableness.  I was so tired I planned on waiting until tomorrow for a shower.  With these horrible sinuses, I showered in the middle of the night, with A LOT of face time near the showerhead in an effort to regain control of my sinuses: success!

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 offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Elder Rune Summons:
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: Mannaz: The human, Heimo; our genetic connection to the gods, humankind, cooperation between people, the special human, the human intellect, awareness, kinship, social structure, the ability to work well within a social structure in an effort be effective within it, social interaction and order, perfected intellect, attract support from your peers, attainment of common goals, Divine structure.
Conversely:
Problems relating with Heimo and humanity, without cooperation between people, the inability to work within a social structure in an effective way, self-delusion, intellectual arrogance/ignorance, bigotry, inability to make peace with others, destructive social nature, closed mindedness, failed social interaction and disorder; anti-social behavior and lack of Divine structure.

Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today

Armanen Rune: Ka: 
Havamal 150.
A sixth one is mine, if a man wounds me
With the root of a trunk still with juice;
Then I am unscathed, the man himself is consumed
By the evil with which he threatened me.
 
Imperviousness, a reversal of fortune, the world tree, preservation of tribe or race, ancestors/ancestry, loyalty, that which is existing, defense, reversal of fortune, the polarity of the male/female principle in the Universe, opposing energies, earthly love, as executive power of balancing justice, art, capability, artist, genius, being favored, procreation, the child, force, that which is established, World Tree/the Irminsul/the All, power, generation, ability and artfulness, sensuality, higher consciousness, return.
“Your blood, your highest possession” (List, 53).
<> 
Interpretation: Social interaction (Mannaz) leads to loyalty (Ka).
<> 
Outcome: after my sinuses settle, a good 7hrs of sleep.
<> 
A banana, and two breakfast burritos.
<> 
Started some spaghetti for later.
<> 
Toby and I out for a well-behaved 30min walk.
*sunny, cold, stout north wind
<> 
Separated recyclables
<> 
I returned to a portion of the walk that was in need of attention.  Some time ago, I asked the business owner to trim the bird-shit tree limbs away from the sidewalk.  Twice he said he was going to do it.  Recently, I told him I would probably do it before he would.  I was right.
<> 
No workout scheduled for today.

OH MAN!  That spaghetti sauce turned out EXCELLENT!
*traditional spaghetti sauce
*meat alternative https://www.morningstarfarms.com/products/morningstar-farms-meal-starters-grillers-recipe-crumbles-product.html
*Ro-tel http://www.ro-tel.com/ 
*whole-wheat spaghetti
See?  It pays to be a foodie

It was a good 8hr shift.  The shaper table is running low on orders.
<> 
Hot cereal with a banana and syrup.
<> 
I understand how social interaction (Mannaz) builds imperviousness (Ka), I guess I’ve become a hermit after being alone so long, any kind of social interaction takes a TREMENDOUS amount of work; work that isn’t all that important to me right now.  Perhaps conversely, my antisocial behavior (Mannaz) could make me vulnerable (Ka).  Thinking, too, there is less and less conversation around the break table at work.  THEY always have their faces buried into their electronic devices.  I bury my face in a book every chance I get.

Nighty-night.

God/dess Meditation: Heimo, HEAR ME!  Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods.  You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!
