Godsdamned door-to-door christians.  I went to the door shirtless, they said they wanted to share some thoughts about the bible.  I just said “I’m not a christian and have no intentions to be one” then closed the door.

Well JsFnChst!  The package that was supposed to arrive in Germany for mein bruder in Kiel didn’t get delivered today.  It’s held-up in customs.  I paid for expedited shipping in 3-5 business days and today marks the 5th day.  Does that mean I get at least a partial refund?  This definitely warrants a call to USPS tomorrow.

God/dess Meditation: 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!
