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.

Armanen Rune: Rit:

Arrow come flying into the throng;
As bright as it might clash, I stem its power
Once I firmly fix my eye on it.

Interpretation: Fluidity (Laguz) brings the strength of Will (Rit).
*yeah, I understand.  The river of life must go on, and it will happen thru my own strength of Will.

1st check on all fur-kids: food, water, litterboxes, shelter.
<> 
Outcome: 7hrs of, I think, solid sleep.
<> 
Morning are still raw as hela.  How am I going to get over Essie’s passing?  This is killing me!  Oh sure, I have other fur babies who need me, but I KNOW Essie REALLY loved me. She was constantly showing that.  Now that love is physically gone, and I am hurting like cray.
<> 
Crying like a baby…
<> 
I get up in the morning, feed Toby and Lily, check on Socks who usually ahs nothing to say except wanting out from his house. I have to stay here for them, but there is no Essie love.  My heart hurts.  Things have definitely changed around here.
<> 
I know what my wifey is doing.  She comes at me with common everyday things in an effort to get my mind off Essie.  It doesn’t work.  I miss my Essie. 
<> 
Essie left this Earth hissing and spitting all the way.  Just prior to Essie leaving this Earth, I fully think someone came for her, but it wasn’t me, her daddy, so she hissed at whoever was approaching.  Hopefully this person comforted her, and assured her that she and I will meet again on the other side.  I may take some time, but we’ll be together again.  If ever I want this to be true, Essie is it.
<> 
Now my eyes REALLY hurt.
<> 
Toby and I attempted a late morning walk.  I noticed him limping on his right front paw and it was swollen.  OMGs, did I cause that by wrapping gauze around the growth on his leg?  JsFnChst!  I quickly removed it.  He did a couple of blocks; one was a visit with a neighbor.  I took him right home and called the veterinarian.  He said I MIGHT HAVE caused it, but keep an eye on it for the rest of the day.  If Toby really IS chewing on it, I put the bug in his ear about removing the growth, even as benign as it was. 
*I can always walk later.
<> 
Call into Toby’s veterinary.  It’s just a wait and see on Toby’s growth on his leg.
<> 
Wifey to post office
Me to smoke shop for self-igniting charcoal and a bong.  While I fully enjoy smoking the CBD, I don’t enjoy the harshness.  Wifey has schooled me about bongs. I also picked up a butane lighter.
<> 
The aforementioned conversation with a neighbor, also brought a few things she offered from her food bank excursion.  I will always accept her offers.
<> 
Two loads of laundry.
<> 
Mac-n-cheese combined with smoked sausage and corn.
<> 
I took Toby on a brief walk to the north end of the cul-de-sac.  At least he wasn’t limping like he was this morning.  Call into his veterinary and he wasn’t to wait until Toby’s blood sugar is under control before any other surgery is performed.  As the possibly of layoff is seriously looming, I want to prepay for his surgery, to which the veterinary agreed. He also suggested a cone for Toby’s head.  Weeeeeeeeell, I’m going to hold off on that as long as I can.

God/dess Meditation: Wodan; Alle-Vater Gott!  Wandering god!  Rune god! Wolf god! Raven god! Wodan!! Husband to Frija, the Alle-Mutter.  Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, Wodan, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!
