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).
*H1R3; Halbdutzend 1, root 3, Irminsul’s root of creation

Rune Lesson: Ziu and Donar represent two of the most macho architypes in the Norse pantheon; Ziu god of war, and Donar god of raw masculine strength. Both of these lend to the idea that it is masculinity rules the day. That’s good enough for me.

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

Outcome: 8hrs of sleep, two wakeups, and void of Lily loving.

There Socks was in the breezeway. I fed him like I feed all the other strays. Sad that it’s come to that with him.

Brief wifey conversation

For the first time, I’m experimenting wearing nylon anklets underneath my compression socks so they last longer. Here’s to hoping for the best.

Toby and I out for a 9:30am (WTF?), well behaved, full 30min+ walk. My intent was to get him out as early as possible. It was such a beautiful morning. I pushed him a bit.
*partly cloudy west/overcast east/odd, mild, slight NNE breeze.

Once again, I fed Socks like a stray. I also saw how Ghost, a gray and white stray, named by wifey, is so scrawny. I put food out specifically for Ghost. I had to keep both Socks and George off of him (?) while he was eating. I wanted Ghost to eat his fill. Then I thought, it’s time to adjust all feeding situations. Since Socks hasn’t been in his house for DAYS, I turned the a/c in the cat house up to 82deg, and kept the fan on oscillating. I cleaned Socks’ feeding station in the cat house and placed it in the breezeway, water, too. That way they might all have the ability to eat and drink all summer. Additionally, since Lily and Jasmine aren’t eating the Blue Buffalo like they used to, I minimized their feeding, too. They still get the option for Blue Buffalo on the one side of their bowl, they can get the wet on the other. Jasmine used to go absolutely nut over the possibility of getting ham first thing in the morning. Not so much anymore. The small tray I had on the floor for her ham, is now Lily’s treat tray on top of the chest freezer.
*well shit, keeping the cat kibble in the breezeway won’t work. If Tony found it, he would gobble it down. Instead, I gave it to wifey to put somewhere in the backyard.

Gathered up the MASSIVE corrugated cardboard and took them in http://prokansasrecycling.org/
*JsFnChst! If the City isn’t tearing out a perfectly good bridge over the Arkansas (pronounced Ar-Kansas) at Harry St., they’re tearing out a perfectly good street on Mt. Vernon east of Broadway! It took a bit of effort to get to the recycling place.

Took inside collected recyclables to outside separation.

Toby’s 3pm meds
<>
Call into K-State to discuss Toby’s glaucoma and whether or not Toby is experiencing pain. His doctor said there IS that possibility and described it like a migraine. She said to keep an eye on him to see if he’s squinting or tearing. If his glaucoma doesn’t come down to manageable levels, doctor certainly didn’t paint a pretty picture. Toby HAS to be well!

I spent quite a bit of time on Fb debunking a false meme decrying the left calling for the ethnicization of police dogs. Turned out it was a misleading reference to a Nickelodeon show: https://kslnewsradio.com/1927142/cancel-paw-patrol/?fbclid=IwAR2CmRE4pDh102qP2Y35lUo0rotgfGheodMtHTr3CHAUJRqZXbVoZok6LO4

Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba with the Golden Hair, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!
