Toby and I out for a well behaved, late morning, 40min walk.  The snow is mostly gone, but there is still quite a bit of ice on the sidewalks.  I had to be quite deliberate about my steps.

Mopped kitchen floor.
Vacuumed carpeted floors.

 OMGs!  The slow cooked chicken and potatoes were EXCELLENT, IMO.  It got a passing grade from wife, but she still ate a piece of it.

It was a fairly busy night at work.  Between the bag press and hand forming, I think I stayed busy until 9:30. After that, I had to listen to story after story from my shop colleague.  Hey, whatever it takes to get thru the night.

Last check on all fur-kids.  Socks outside; Socks inside.

​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!
