A fourteenth I know, Volkrast, the dwarf,
Sings early at the gates of dawn,
To strengthen the Aesir, to empower the Alves,
But to myself, All-Father, to gain wisdom.

Interpretation: Joy, or lack thereof (Wunjo) brings humanity (Man).

1st check on all fur-kids: food, water, litterboxes, shelter.

Outcome: 8hrs of shitty sleep with two hours of that in the recliner because of sinuses; shitty sinuses = shitty sleep. This is getting so old.

Just sadness this morning. DAMNIT, this wasn’t how it was supposed to work. Essie was the youngest. She was supposed to be the last one to go. She was the real reason for my continued living. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m not considering anything stupid or drastic, because I told the ancestors they can’t take ME until all fur babies are gone, BUT WHY THE FUCK DID THEY HAVE TO START WITH ESSIE?????????? My wife can take care of herself, but fur babies are totally dependent on us for their well-being. I am just beside myself with absolute sadness, but must carry-on.
Socks’ love is a distant constant, yet I love him.
Toby loves me, but can be so…well, less than intelligent, yet I love him.
Lily I know loves me, it’s just different, yet, I love her.
I know this sadness will end…someday. I’m not sure how I’ll react when her ashes are returned to me.
*sadness (Wunjo)/humanity (Man).
<>
Call into Air Cap Vet to let them know about Toby chewing his rubbery growth and what I am doing to offset my hesitation for a cone. It’s probably coming, though.
<>
A banana + a 1-egg breakfast sandwich with cheese on whole wheat toast.
<>
Call in from the Kansas Humane Society. Essie’s ashes are ready. Tears are already flowing.
<>
Toby tried a walk this morning. Two blocks were all he had in his. That’s okay, me too.
*cloudy, very cool, slight south breeze.
<>
To FedEx for printing
<>
The Kansas Humane Society did well by Essie. Her urn is now on display at home and on Facebook. I asked a good Fb friend to share it with the empath group.
*sad, yes (Wunjo), but gaining strength (Man) slowly.
<>
Note to Self; Toby’s 12pm insulin.

Breaded Alaskan pollock from frozen + cottage fries + buttered corn + cookies-n-cream ice cream.

I’ll see how work goes…
<>
Work has taken on a WHOLE new face at work. The bag press IS in the process of an overhaul. There was nothing in the routers. There was nothing in plant 2. So, I just picked up a broom and started sweeping up around the punch press and hot joggle areas. Shit…
*oh gods, am I coming down with something?
<>
Okay, I’ve tried wrapping Toby’s wound, but he keeps pulling off the bandage. If nothing else, I’m going to keep his would clean. We’ll see what happens when his sleeve comes in tomorrow. If that fails, I’ll have to make a choice between simply keeping it clean, or a soft cone for his head. However, at this point it doesn’t look horrible.
<>
BEAUTIFUL fog on the way home from work.
<>
Note to Self; Toby’s 1am insulin.
<>
Last check on all fur-kids.
<>
2am nighty night.
