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 look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side. I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Havamal 148:
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, deflecting an opponent, making ineffective, 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, a constant renewal of life in rebirth, Rune of opposing polarities and of joining opposites, binding of and victory over the enemy.
“Preserve your ego” (List, 51).

Interpretation: A turning point (Jera) brings protection from danger (Thorn).

Outcome: 7 ½ hrs. of itchy sleep.

Immediately got up and called the VA. Luckily, they had two appointments open today; 11 and 1. I took the 11.

Good morning conversation with wifey.

Breakfast sandwich + a banana.

Took toby out for a quick two-block roundy prior to the VA visit.

I have never been impressed with this VA doctor. She didn’t know what to think. If she hooks me up with dermatology like she says, this whole thing will probably be cleared-up. Nonetheless, pills and creams.

Bräts, diced potatoes and green beans.

Not an exceedingly horrible night at work. Still quite itchy. There was a flurry of activity at the end of shift.
OMGs, my shop colleague was just a ratchet jaw tonight. He talked and talked; he went on and on…all about nothing of interest to me. Walking away from him was of no effect because he kept following me, talking a lot about nothing…jeez!

Last check on all fur-kids.

2am nighty-night. Hoping for less-itchy sleep. I think my wife fell asleep in her office tonight.
