Toby and I out for a 30min walk.
*folded up one table and several chairs for roominess in Socks’ house.
*on the walk, I’ve noticed two dogs continuously on tethers on their front porches.  This is against the law here in Wichita: http://www.wichita.gov/Government/Departments/WPD/PoliceDocuments/Chaining.pdf .  I’ve contacted Animal Control’s cell phone to report this violation.

2nd breakfast; breakfast sandwich

Several days ago my rain gutters became somewhat disconnected from my home.  I tacked them back up to buy me some time to decide what I want to do.  What I WANT to do is to get some kind of gutter coverings.  I can’t be that difficult to do it myself.

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!
