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: Yr:
Havamal 161:
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, seduction, reluctance, influence, second thoughts, a change of heart, 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, well grounded, 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.

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

Outcome: 8hrs of solid sleep!

2-egg breakfast sandwich on whole grain bread with butter + a banana; 2-egg because Lily made me feel bad for not offering her any egg.  Sacrificed the piece of cheese for the extra egg.

Wifey conversation.

Separated recyclables
Straightened house
*vacuum problems, wifey may have fixed it.

Toby and I out for a 2pm, somewhat stubborn, 30min walk.  Energy at low levels.  A neighbor in the extended neighborhood, couldn’t contain his pit bull.  When I saw the pit bull charge Toby, I was charging after it with walking stick ready to beat the shit out of it; however, it didn’t attack Toby.  Toby was sluggish to respond to voice commands, as the neighbor was calling HIS dog.  Evidently, his pit bull only responds to violence.  Luckily Toby wasn’t threatened enough to respond with violence so all was well.
*mostly cloudy, mild, south breeze.

Bundesliga https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga relegation play off
Union Berlin (2Bundesliga) v Stuttgart (Bundesliga).
*@ the half 0:0
*end of match 0:0
Union Berlin is promoted to Bundesliga and Stuttgart is relegated to 2Bundesliga because the aggregate was 2:2 with advantage to Union Berlin because of 2 away goals.  As Stuttgart failed to score at all, Union Berlin advances. https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/union-berlin-vfb-stuttgart-live-play-off-second-leg-line-ups-stats-mario-gomez-4796

Leftover pulled pork from frozen, diced potato, and a garden salad, all appropriately portioned and fitted onto a 9” plate.

The original plan was to mow and trim only the front yard, but looking in the back yard, I decided to tackle what I could.  It’s still ugly, but I was able to mow around all the standing water and mud, to make the back-yard hallway presentable.
*kicked my ass.

Last check on all fur-kids.

Midnight nighty night.  Sleeping with wifey tonight.

​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Manostag) Nirdu, brother-husband, to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Frô and the Frouwa, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to our doors daily from the wonderful Universe in which we live. Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!
