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 offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Armanen Rune: Yr:
Havamal 160.
A sixteenth I speak if a maid is reluctant,

To wake her lust and desire;
I change the heart of the delightful woman,
Then to me her wishes turn.
 
Lust/desire, the waxing and waning moon, lunar-like mutability of the feminine essence, the error-rune, conquering resistance through confusion, eventual perfection, Female mysteries, roots of the World Column, the carrier of genetic material, God-woman, femininity, desire, sensual love, passion, perfection, Mother, chaos from which creation emerges, female principle in the Cosmos, the night, death and instinct, anger, falsehood, error and the oppositions found in humankind, mystical union, night, moon, well grounded, roots of Irminsul from which all life springs, woman as the opposite/balance to man, the descending Divine Feminine being.
“Think about the end” (List, 63).
<> 
Interpretation: Family loyalty (Othilla) leads to eventual perfection (Yr).

Toby and I out for a 30min walk.  He’s becoming sneaky about easing himself into the curbside of the street.  I can’t have him do that.  He cannot become comfortable with going anywhere near the street.  He was and will be placed on the retractable every time he does this.  I’ve watched him do a balancing act, walking along top of the curb, but rarely does he actually go into the street.  The street is a dangerous place for any animal to spend any kind of time.
*sunny, mildly warm, extremely stout south wind.

Separated recyclables.

No strength training scheduled for today.

Pizza Hut for lunch…most likely dinner and tomorrow’s lunch.

Work was going fine until the stretch-press lead-man comes up and asked me if I was going to 3rd shift.  I said, “no” to which he informed me of management trickery…more like outright deception.  They were going to let me go to 1st shift to train, then place me on 3rd shift.  OMGs no!  I called over my union steward to show him the job offer, which clearly calls out for a 2nd shift position.  We, then, had a powwow with my Super, only to find out it was the 1st shift Super trying to screw me over on this.  My union steward checked and found out no survey was taken to find out if anyone WANTED to go to third.  Turned out THERE IS a new guy wanting 3rd.  So well see if he goes to 3rd, which will open up a position on 2nd…FOR ME!  My union steward handled this extremely well.
*Othilla (chaotic home front)/Yr (anger)…VERY angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God/dess Meditation: Wotan; Alle-Vater god!  Wandering god!  Rune god! Wolf god! Raven god! Wotan!! 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, Wotan, 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, Wotan, as we honor the Wotan that resides in us all!
