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.

Rune Lesson: This is an interesting Rune lesson. Raido is about movement. Is, is about calm in the face of distress. With this, I can see movement AWAY from the face of distress. Perhaps some kind of tactical retreat. Once Raido has moved from the distress, Is, then, is the calm that results from it.

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

Outcome: 7 ½ hrs. of some of the shittiest sleep I’ve ever had.

Wifey conversation

Toby and I out for a late morning, well behaved, two block roundy. He had a nice visit with a neighbor.
My turn for my own noon hour, 30min walk. I had a very nice conversation with a neighbor who was asking about Toby.
*sunny, mild, refreshing north wind.

At first when I noticed Jasmine reaching out from a slightly concealed spot, I thought it was cute, like she was giving a high-five. Now she’s seems to be lashing out more aggressively. She’s drawn blood from me a couple of times. It’s sad that I have to vehemently discourage this.

The timed posts on my Fb page for the 50th Anniversary of the Kent State Massacre were a rousing success; an increase in engagements: https://www.facebook.com/FourDeadInOhioTheKentStateMassacre/

Not to Self; Toby’s 1pm feeding and insulin.

Yesterday’s lunch with jerk spice chicken, baked potato and German coleslaw was SO yummy it was a worthwhile repeat + ice cream, and leftover Hamburger Helper that needed to be eating. After all, I HATE throwing out food.

Once at work, I talked to my manager about being involved in the company’s making of medical equipment. I’m serious, as a veteran that would be a wonderful service to my country.
I finally did see where I stand on the seniority list. I’m not being laid-off, but most more than likely I will be getting my C level back. That’s okay by me.
Not a horrible remaining night at work; a bit more overhead crane instruction.

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!
