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.

Havamal 157:
A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

Rune Lesson: The Thurisaz and Tyr Runes represent to of the most masculine architypes in the Norse pantheon. Immediately I see that the manly man prevails. I can also see how the masculine man is reborn. Whatever the case may be, it’s time to stand up and be a man.

In an effort to keep blood pressure at a minimum, I relaxed to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G52dUQLxPzg&t=19051s

Closer to 11am, 2hrs after medication, I took my vitals and recorded them on yesterday’s journal entry. They looked really good today. I dunno, it’s just a thing, to record them on a Saturday.
*sent vitals to my VA doctor.

Note to Self: Toby’s 11:30am feeding and insulin.
*not only has Toby been turning up his nose @ the Mighty Dog https://www.purina.com/mighty-dog/dog-food I’ve been feeding him, he’s also not eating cat food, AND HE LOVES CAT FOOD. This week, I’m experimenting with Pedigree https://www.pedigree.com/dog-foods/details/pedigree-wet-dog-food-chopped-ground-dinner-bacon-cheeseburger-flavors NOW he’s eating; which is a double edged ax. On the one side of the ax, Toby needs to eat when he gets his insulin. On the other side of the ax, Toby is less active due to his blindness and will quite possibly gain weight. His last visit to the Vet showed he’s already over 50lbs, and that’s where I like him to be, at 50lbs.
