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: Os:
Havamal 149:
The fourth one I know, when a foe has tied up
My arms and hands;
The fetters fall from my leg, when I chant that song,
And off my hands the ropes come.
Freedom from bondage, the power of speech/song, mouth, arising, ashes, that which is offered, Wodanic energies, leadership, mouth, speech, the effort to convince, deed following the word, the Divine Breath, kingship, discussion, idea of that which is given/evolving, the spiritual power that is gained through speech, it is the breath of the world, its voice, strength that a person needs to rise-up in power, freedom from the bondage of the material world.
“Your spiritual force makes you free” (List, 51).

Rune Lesson: Trust is the basis for every relationship. Without trust as a foundation, nothing is possible. Without trust, there will always be hesitation. I don’t know of ANYONE who would have a REAL relationship with someone they cannot trust. Trust if freeing. Trust gives one the freedom to be able to turn one’s back without fear of attack. Trust and freedom go hand-in-hand.

Outcome: 7 ½ hrs. of sleep, one wakeup, and…
*Lily all over me
*Toby at my bedside
*Jasmine waiting for her loving at the ancestors’ table.

Godsdamned Boost Mobile. I really have a love/hate relationship with them. I was there at their Broadway store just before noon, and I’m told they won’t open for another half hour due to a safety meeting brought on by violent protests around a couple of outside areas. JsFnChst! This is my 2nd day dealing with them to get my new phone, not it’s going into THRRE DAYS? ARGH!

Toby and I out for a noon hour, perfectly behaved, 2-block, roundy
*very warm/hot, sunny, slight south breeze.

Toby’s 12:45 feeding and insulin

At work, we were quickly given the option to take an LWOP (leave with-out pay) for the last 4 hrs. At first, I struggled with the idea because I have never taken an LWOP, but I’m glad I decided to take it. The last half hour, 45min or so was a pain in the ass. I was accused of inconsistency in my pre-work. Well shit, what do they expect? One operator accepts pre work one way. Another operator accepts pre work another. I’ve been told one way to prep, then told another way to prep. JsFnChst, if there is any inconsistency, it’s in my training. I was glad to get the hela out of there.
Ya see, I WAS happy in my job for the longest time. Now, with all the shuffling, not so much.

The next two days are going to be hela busy. I took the time to pull all grave goods out from the back end of the Vue so Toby isn’t cramped at all.

Toby’s 11:30pm insulin and feeding

Last check on all fur-kids.

God/dess Meditation: Wednesday, Wodan’s Day 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!
