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.

What a great way to start my day.  I threw out some foods scraps out to the back yard.  Usually, squirrels will scramble away until I leave.  INSTEAD, this squirrel on top of the neighbor’s privacy headed right for the scraps.  I quickly went back inside and started eating it and headed back outside.  This squirrel looked right at me and didn’t budge.  It was hungry.  This squirrel took a piece of apple right out of my hand!!!!

Essie is so funny.  While Socks has been out and about protecting his Princedom, Essie has made herself at home in Socks’ house quite comfortably.  Of course, she WILL come back inside prior to me leaving for work.

Call into Air Capital Veterinary to start work on a prescription Science Diet for Toby.  Toby’s been on his allergy medication for quite a while.  The steroids in it can eventually be harmful to him.

Good 8hr shift at work.  All went smoothly.

God/dess Meditation: Heil to you, Forsizo, son of Paltar and Nanda!  We call out to you in our time of legal need.  You’re the god of justice and reconciliation.  We know that justice is a double-edged ax.  On the one side, if our argument is just, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, mete-out justice accordingly.  Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!
