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.

Rune Lesson: Admitted bias for Toby”
Sure, today is stressful, but Toby is in the hands of the All-Mother, so be calm.
<> 
1st check on all fur-kids: food, water, litterboxes, shelter.
<> 
Outcome: 7hrs of semi-solid sleep, and not a fur baby to be found around the bed.
<> 
Wifey conversation
<> 
LOTS of support for Toby on Fb.
<> 
9am, Toby is in for cataract surgery…
<> 
Two scrambled eggs in a wheat tortilla with pepper jack cheese.
<> 
Dr. Ewald at K-State called.  She has finished one eye, but there have been complications.  The lens anchors that keep the lens connected to the eyeball have deteriorated, so she cannot put a lens back into Toby’s left eye.  I gave her permission to go onto the right eye.  I told her I have to give Toby every chance to be as good as he could be.
<> 
Out for a 6-block, late morning, roundy
*very warm, partly cloudy, SSE breeze.
<> 
A Second call in from K-State and the same dilemma in the other eye. Dr. Ewald assures me he'll be able to see, he just won't be able to read a newspaper (LOL). He is now in recovery. The hope is he's able to come home tomorrow.  I’m ready to go get him anytime!

A triple decker, turkey bologna, double pepper jack cheese on wheat bread+ Tostitos Scoops/salsa + bread-n-butter pickle wedges + watermelon.
<> 
Call into Air Capital Veterinary to let them know how Toby fared.
<> 
Wifey to Family Dollar
Watered all shrubs, straw=bale garden and Agathagart
*nix on Agathagart.  It’s too damned windy.
<> 
I just called to check on Toby. He's quite the hit. He's doing well; hopefully well enough to come home tomorrow.  As soon as they call to say I can come get him I’m on the road!
<> 
WOW!  Extraction https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8936646/ on Netflix
<> 
Ghost Whisperer S2 Es14and15 on Hulu; yup, I’ve seen ‘em both.
<> 
Online chat.

Last check on all fur-kids.

God/dess Meditation: Tuesday, Ziu’s Day, Ziu
Ziu, god of selflessness; of war & glory, one-handed god, sacrificial god, Sergeant at Arms at the Thing, enforcer of law & order, bravest of all gods; you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you.  WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!
