Plans: work 10hrs
Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high. You’re the measurer and teller of time. As you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!

AM Elder Rune: Ansuz (R): Outside the favor of Wodan vital/divine breath and the ancestral/Wodanic wisdom, separation from one’s true Spirit, spiritual imbalance, neurotic compulsive liar, exercise caution with communication and dealings including intelligence; a lack of inspiration, the shadow side of Wodan.

Havamal 148.
The fourth one I know, when a foe has tied up
My arms and hands;
The fetters fall from my leg, when I chant that song,
And off my hands the ropes come.
That which is offered, freedom, Wodanic energies, leadership, mouth, speech, the effort to convince, deed following the word, the Divine Breath, kingship, discussion, idea of that which is given/evolving, the spiritual power that is gained through speech, it is the breath of the world, its voice, strength that a person needs to rise up in power, freedom from the bondage of the material world.
Interpretation: I’ll have to think about this one.
Outcome: I am SO ready for the arctic blast coming!
Good AM work
Good lunch; continued rereading Gilgamesh
Good PM work; total power failure for ½ hour
*2nd shift buddy told me about a letter from Hawker Beech.
Warm lunch
Warm last break
Noticeable change on the way home.
*winds now from the north and gusting.
Yep, there it is; the letter from Hawker Beech. Youbetcha I’m going to reply with my interest in rehiring. My brother got his, too, but will not offer himself for rehire.
With this weather change I’m very concerned about Socks. I’ve called and called for him to no avail.
Hodgepodge for supper
THERE’S Socks!
Exercise routine #1
*abs, biceps, triceps, shoulders
*****reduced weight, increased reps
*****left elbow remains sore
Checked on Socks in the Cat House. It’s very temperate in there. Thank the gods he’s a smart kitty and didn’t go out once he realized how shitty things were outside. He’ll be fine until morning. I am so comforted I can supply well for my furry babies.
Shower, bed, nighty-night.
PM Clarification Rune: none
Comments: last check on animals
Alaf Sal Fena!
