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.

Conversely:
Outside the favor of Alle-Vater Wodan vital/divine breath and the ancestral/Wodanic wisdom/Divine communication, separation from one’s true Spirit, spiritual imbalance, spiritual shunning, neurotic compulsive liar, exercise caution with communication and dealings including intelligence; a lack of inspiration, tough-love Fathering, the absent All-Father, the shadow/dark/mysterious side of Alle-Vater Wodan.

Havamal 149:
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.
Freedom from bondage, the power of speech/song, mouth, arising, ashes, that which is offered, 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.
“Your spiritual force makes you free” (List, 51).

Rune Lesson: Essentially the same Rune different systems.
As long as we have favor of the gods, we have freedom. With the Norse gods there is no YOU MUST SERVE ME OR PERISH! We see them as an extension of our family. We speak of them. We sing of them. We are free in them. No bondage. No need to convince us. We favor them as they favor us. The Wodanic Divine breath resides in all those who are a part of their family. We ARE every bit of that!

I’m putting Toby on a completely 1st care schedule
Toby’s AM eyedrops
Toby’s AM feeding, insulin and Apoquel

It is fun feeding the strays and figuring out their idiosyncrasies. I don’t worry too much about George. I really think he has a home and J-e feeds him. If he shows up in the breezeway, I will leave him SOMETHING which usually fends him off whether he likes what I leave or not. This, in turn, opens the OTHER feeding space by the recyclables for Ghost. Ghost is the one who has my major concern. Today, I spotted Ghost peering thru some trees waiting for my offering. As soon as I went inside, surely enough, here comes Ghost jumping over the fence to feed.

A breakfast experiment in need of tweaking:
*two scrambled eggs mixed with chopped jalapeños
*hand-shredded and shaped hashbrowns
*all between two blueberry Eggo Waffles
The shape of the hashbrowns need reduced and the waffles need to be crispier.

Toby and I out for a mid-morning, well behaved, 3-block walk. Toby was pretty sluggish today.
*sunny, warm, hela stout southerly wind!
*3-block for Toby, 3-block on my own. As long as I can get six blocks in, I don’t feel the need for the treadmill.

I have decided to sit on unemployment for a while, while giving only casual efforts at finding other employment. As long as I take out an adequate amount for taxes, I’ll be okay. Besides, I LIKE not being rushed in my daily activities.

Took the recyclables from inside collection to outside separation

I found this pasta/beef dish that has been sitting for…I don’t know how long…in the deep freezer. At first, I was a bit concerned but it turned out wonderfully; carrots and celery on the side.

Online fuckin’ off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I have the recycling area graded like I want it. I immediately saw the need to FILL more than grade. The dirt/foundation next to the room addition has started to sink, so I didn’t want to grade TOWARD the foundation; rather, fill then see. I took dirt from the high spots and filled in the low spots. HAHAHAHA…I found a set of measuring spoons. I had a set, but don’t know what happened to them. I am NOT SURE if these were my spoons, but they are now.

Die Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.
That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” forms now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
