The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

1st check on all fur-kids: food, water, litterboxes, shelter.

Outcome: WTF!  Just shy of 9 ½ hours of sleep with three wakeups?  Too much sleep…
<> 
Wifey mowing the back yard.
<> 
Toby and I out for a 10:50am, well behaved, 30min walk.  During the walk, I noticed Toby eyeballing something.  Soon, I noticed a loose dog eyeballing Toby.  When the dog charged Toby, I was running to the fray with my walking staff at the ready!  Luckily, the dog stopped its charge.  Toby and this dog were nose-to-nose with tails up, but I was still uncertain how this was going to play out.  When I approached with staff raised, the dog retreated.
*mildly warm, mostly cloudy, stout south wind.
<> 
WOW!  Wifey wants to mow the front yard, too?  Go for it.

Hamburger Helper Lasagna + veggies added for lunch.

Well scheisse…almost forgot…
Exercises:
Biceps/triceps dynamic tension 3 sets of 10 reps.
Pushups from knees 3 sets of 10 reps.
Setups on the Ab Roller 3 sets of 25 reps weighted 10lbs (up from 5lbs).
<> 
Not a horrible night @ work.  Note to Self: evidently 1st shift can get away with things that 2nd shift cannot, which makes no sense.  Historically, 1st is ran much tighter than 2nd, and 2nd is often times preferred BECAUSE of the lax in attitudes.  Well, now I know differently and will adjust accordingly.

Last check on all fur-kids.

2am nighty night.

​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!

Nirda, sister-wife to Nirdu.  We give thanks to the Great Goddess Nirda, Goddess of the land, of soil, and growing things.  Goddess, too, of the scythe and of the sacrifice.  Beautiful and terrible.  Wise in Your power.  We praise you…HEIL NIRDA, Mother of the Wanâ, sister-wife to Nirdu.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDA, as we honor the Nirda that resides in us all!  HEIL NIRDA Divine Queen! HEIL!  HEIL! HEIL!
