AM Armanen Rune: Sig: 
Havamal 155.
This I know as an eleventh, when
I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.
 
Salvation, will, victory, success, gain, well-being, victorious and happy, blessing from above, successful fight, achieved goal, school, and salvation by light, inspiration, soul, and power of the sun, inspiration, soul, life force, wholeness, reliable success, healing, good luck, spiritual completion, and the path of the soul, Rune of the spiritual ray, of inspiration, wisdom, and illumination.
“The creative spirit must conquer” (List, 57).

Interpretation: spiritual balance (Ansuz) leads to VICTORY (Sig)!

Outcome: Essie got her first oral medication.  She was less than impressed.

Oh scheisse, I’ve forgotten to mention; as of May 1st, I’ve started my 18th year in Heathenry.

Good AM work; oversized rings.  It seems official, I’m a floater and have been moved out of what I call “the hole”.  I couldn’t be happier.
*I was so proud of me.  I was able to totally eliminate one step with the large rings and was able to educate my production supervisor.  He was more than pleased.
@ work for lunch, “Hearth and Field”
Good PM work, smaller rings
*eight hours of overtime approved.  I accepted 5-hours with the understanding I wanted to check in with physical therapy, with the option to extend to 8 hrs.
*the ankle brace has certainly helped.
<> 
Stopped off at physical therapy.  It seems I only have two more visits.  It doesn’t necessarily bother me, but what a waste of my time.
*3:30pm appointment rescheduled to 4:15pm to accommodate work.
<> 
I think Essie has been moving around a bit more normally as compared to previous days.  At least she’s not holed-up in the bathroom.
<> 
Online with petlink.net to register Essie’s microchip information.
<> 
Essie’s first day of antibiotic complete.
<> 
Essie with front yard time; not very active, but willing to be there.  I SAW HER EAT HER FIRST BIT OF FOOD IN ALMOST THREE DAYS!  It was porch cat food, but food nonetheless.
<> 
Shower, bed, nighty-night.

PM God/dess Meditation: 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!
