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: Naudiz is a tough one.  Naudiz is about Need and Stress.  Os is about freedom, speech and song.  There is a strong need to be free.  Sometimes stress is needed to be free.  THAT’S IT!  Freedom isn’t free.  There is always a cost to be free.  America was born out of the stress of war.  Freedom was necessary because of a tyrannical English government.  We are free because of we needed the stress to be so. There was no other way.

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

Outcome: 8hrs of sleep, one wakeup, and lots of Lily loving.

Open faced, bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on whole wheat toast.

I’ve been feeding the squirrels since about last November. Since the growing season is well underway, I’ve determined that this last batch of peanut bags would be the last.  Lately, the squirrels are as at-the-ready to be fed.  Today, I used the last bag of peanuts.  They’re on their own, now.

Wifey conversation.
<> 
Do we REALLY have another kitty?  There’s an orange tabby that’s been hanging around.  Socks has been unable to chase him off.  Lily has expressed her displeasure at the back door.  Jasmine has expressed her interest at the back door.  He’s not emaciated.  He very friendly.  I told wifey, if he stays, he’s going to have to be totally an outside kitty, perhaps fed in the garden shed.  We are a magnet for needy kitties.

Call into Air Capital Vet because I’m concerned about Toby ability to see.  He can have the exam here, but any surgery is at the K-State veterinary college.
<> 
Note to Self: Toby’s 11:45am feeding and insulin.

Toby and I out for a well behaved, late morning, 30min walk.

Leftover meatloaf and carrot salad for lunch.

Call into the Sedgwick Count Sheriff’s office.  Their office is closed due to he COVID-19 stuff.
<> 
To BK for wifey.

Dealing with my FSA is a pain in the ass.  Dealing with the VA to get a receipt for the FSA is an even bigger pain in the ass.
<> 
Pulled out the potting soil from the garden shed, drilled holes in the bottom of the planters, filled the planters, and placed them in Agathagart.  I hope to plant perennials in them, soon.

Last of the leftover pizza + a garden salad.

Online chat

According to Weebly my readership may have increased.  If it’s due to people being homebound due to COVID-19, whatever.  Here is a bit of a factoid about me.  I am obsessive about my oral health:
*2 min electric toothbrush
*floss
*Waterpik®
* plaque rinse
All-in-all, about 6 min.

A load of laundry.

Note to Self; Toby’s 11pm feeding and insulin.

Last check on all fur-kids.

​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Wodanstag) Heimo, HEAR ME!  Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods.  You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!
