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.

Elder Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today

Elder Rune: Teiwaz: The God Ziu, one handed god of war and honor, valor, uncompromising in judgments, personal management, a higher rationality, dedication to an ideal, balanced, victory in conflict, the spiritual warrior, self-sacrifice, spiritual birth/rebirth, motivated by a sense of justice, law and order, bravery, honesty, even-handedness, warfare as a part of evolution, mental and emotional order.
Conversely:
Outside the favor of Ziu; the god of honor, dishonor, without victory in conflict, injustice, imbalance, mismanagement, failure, unbalanced, dishonesty, naiveté compromised judgments, defeat, warfare without purpose, disengagement with the sacrificial Self, spiritual death, legal dilemma, disorder/chaos, cowardice, the inability to fight for what’s right, void of the will to succeed, double standards.

Armanen Rune: Sig: 
Havamal 156:
This I know as an eleventh, when

I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.
 
Triumph, surrounded with luck and happiness, victory, success, gain, well-being, victorious and happy, into the fray, blessing from above, successful fight, achieved goal, school, and salvation by light, inspiration, soul, and power of the sun, inspiration, soul, life force, wholeness, reliable success, healing, good luck, spiritual completion, and the path of the soul, Rune of the spiritual ray of inspiration, wisdom, and illumination.
“The creative spirit must conquer” (List, 57).

Interpretation: valor (Teiwaz) leads to triumph (Sig)

Workwise, not horrible, until I THOUGHT myself into an extremely bad mood.  I overthink on things and get upset about that which I have absolutely no control.  Okay, I’ll admit it, I overthink about industrial raising and slaughtering of animals for our consumption.  Even though I don’t know this for a fact, I’m sure any animal’s living condition, raised industrially for slaughter, has to be horrible.  I think about chickens kept in cages so all they do is shit eggs or kept cramped in cages until they’re fattened enough.  I think the same thing about hogs, kept cramped in cages and never see daylight until they go to slaughter.  Cattle generally have it the best, until they go to the feedlots just prior to slaughter.  I don’t even DARE start mentioning dog meat farms.  So anyway, I got myself so upset I checked my vacation and sick leave time.
Sick leave: 25hrs
Vacation: 41.35 hrs
Anniversary date Aug 12th
I’ve often been told to use vacation time first, because @ one’s anniversary date, 80 hrs of vacation is automatically added, more than 80 with overtime worked which overtime has been slight and not really welcomed with me.  However, sick leave only starts building from that point.  So, I left work an hour early and that brings vacation to a very workable 40isch hours; with 65 total hours’ time off.  I just wanted to get the fuck out of that place!!!  It’s funny, the Ob-Meister has in his instant messaging, “Working at this place is like being fettered to a corpse”.  He’s not too far from wrong. 
HAHAHAHAHA…besides, I wanted to get to Dillons before the closed because I ran out of tomatoes for my garden salad…LOL

Last check on all fur-kids.  It’s always so much nicer when Socks goes immediately into his house when I get home.  Sometimes he can be a pest when me MAKES like he wants to go into his house, then right on the stoop decides…nah, don’t thinks so.  Bastard kitty…

God/dess Meditation: Frija:
Frija, Great Alle-Mutter; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, wife to Alle-Vater Wodan.  Teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far-seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!  HEIL ALLE MUTTER HEIL!
