Armanen Rune: Sig:

This I know as an eleventh, when
I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.

1st check on all fur-kids

Outcome: 7hrs of rough sleep, coughing, up three times, Toby outside/Toby inside

Good morning chat with my love my fiancée…OMGs, I’m missing her so much.
<> 
I can’t go to the Y until I stop coughing like this.  I have NO IDEA why I’m coughing up flem/phlegm.  I haven’t been well, but I certainly have not been sick enough to produce this shit. 
<> 
When I went out to leave something for the squirrels, there was already a squirrel rummaging in the tree hole.  I held out a peanut, and that squirrel didn’t wait for me to come to the tee, it climbed down from the tree and met me half way.  It took the peanut out of my hand and shimmied back up the tree. 
<> 
Call into New Day USA
Call into Sears.  It seems no one can tell me more than it’s at the service area…wherever that is.
<> 
Toby and I out for an early afternoon, 3 block roundy-roundy just to get it out of his system.
Cloudy, bitter cold, north breeze
<> 
White Castle cheeseburgers from frozen with chips.
<> 
Started watching Game of Thrones S3 E1
<> 
Not enough to keep me busy on the table shaper.  Stayed in layout then over to the pin routers.  GODSDAMNIT!  My bread and butter parts showed up late in the shift…had to ignore them.  That’s okay.  I turned in just over 7hrs for the shift.  It’ll just have to be okay.
<> 
Okay, either Toby or Socks has learned to open the sliding glass door to Socks’ house.  My suspicion is Toby.  No sign of Socks.  This has to stop!  It will never warm up in there very much overnight.  I’ll have to once again start placing the padlock over the hinge to make sure it stays shut.
*6degF outside, 38degF in Socks’ house.
*Socks did come home after a couple of calls.

Finished Game of Thrones S3 E1

Last check on all fur-kids.

PTA shower, bed, nighty-night.

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!
