(Lenzing/Lenzomanod = Lent Month)(E.R.E. = Eternal Roman Empire [rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE])

Plans:  labs, study

A.M. Prayer:  Tuesday, we pray to Ziu/Tyr and lighting a purple candle (for honor):
Ziu/Tyr, you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties, and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, we may we share in your glory by imitating you. ZIU/TYR HAIL!!

Rune Summons:
Born of Fire, born of ice,
Life is lived at such a price.

Picture
A.M. Rune:  Gebo (irreversible): OHG: Geba, The gift and giver, repay gift for gift, an exchange between people or gods and the Luck that accompanies it; freely exchanged, contracts, relationships, sometimes sexual, sacrifice, and hospitality.

Outcome:  First thing this morning I got right on dealing with Anatomy Id lab.  I finished the online stuff pretty easily and started working on the identification part of the lab via the book.  This chapter doesn’t seem nearly quite as daunting as previous chapters.

(I made a correction to this portion of the blog.  Originally it read "Anatomy lab..." when I really meant to say "Physiology lab..." and my correction relfects that)
Physiology lab was a bit different.  One of our lab partners totally dropped the ball on the last lab report and didn’t show up for lab today.  We ended up joining forces (so to speak) with an adjacent lab group.  It was different because we hadn’t worked them at all; but we were hospitable as well as they.


Almost forgot about Audie’s medical doc appointment.  It couldn’t have come at a more inopportune time.  I worked on homework while waiting on her.  Guess it was one of those sacrifices that had to be made.

Got an “A” on another Anatomy ID Lab!  I got a perfect score on the quiz AND the extra credit!  Now THERE’S a good sacrifice!!

A few groceries and Rx

DAMN IT!  Chapter 17 for Anatomy was a MOTHER FUCKER!  It took way too long to finish it!  When several of the questions start looking like the others there’s a problem.  I worked on it until almost 11 o’clock but did finally get it done: every thing else is pushed back but chapter 17 is (FUCKING) done.  I suppose that was an appropriate sacrifice; we’ll see,  

P.M. Prayer:  All you gods and goddesses bless and keep your Holy Folk. From the cold shadows of the glaciers to the colder shadows of space, always, we have been your people. Guide and guard your North folk as you did in ages past. Wodan/Odin, give wisdom and craft to wits shaped by ice and fire that our foes be foxed. Donar/Thor, give us strength and the will to use it. Ing Fro/Freyr and Uualburga Frouwa/Freyja, give full wombs so that bodies will be found for the souls of heroes. Let your Northern Folk grow in number and in power, so that our kind may live, love, survive and thrive, not just today, not for a millennium, but for ever and ever!

P.M. Rune:  none

Plans:  Anatomy and Physiology classes

A.M. Prayer:  Monday we pray to Mano/Manni, god of the moon, and lighting a white candle (symbolic of the moon):
Greetings to you Mano/Manni, silver messenger on high, 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/Manni let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives. MANO/MANNI, HAIL!!

A.M. Rune:  Two Runes:

Picture
Sowulo (Irreversible):  The Sun, Sonne/Sunna, a lightening bolt, victory, success, spiritual guidance, and leadership.

And

Picture
Eihwaz (Irreversible):  Yggdrasil, stress and difficulties, a backbone, need to have backbone to get through, turn stress into advantage (questioned by many Rune scholars as to its validity within the Futhark)

Outcome:  So there will be victory ahead in spite of (or because of) the stress and difficulties that may come.

Meeka for a walk at the crack-o-fucking dawn

We spent the morning tending to Audie’s needs, both financial and personal.

All Anatomy class did was to show me there is so much more to do before Wednesday of next week.

Some study

Physiology class went as well as could be expected.

It took some time but I got the extra credit portion dome for this week’s lab paper.  Who am I kidding?  It took a heluvalot of time to finish the fucker.  So much so I don’t have it in me to do any more tonight even though I know there is so much more ahead!

Yep, victory thru difficulties: got it!

P.M. Prayer:  The Norns The Norns all three are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth 
Urd, Verdandi and Skuld, the dark queens renowned
You glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now

That which “was” we clearly see
That which “is” formed now in our deeds
That which “will be”, will yet be; but cannot see
We celebrate the Norns, the Ladies Three, for eternity

Outcome:  Hail, Hail, and HAIL!

The breakfast cook is off for the day: McDs for breakfast

Meeka for walk

Worked on getting the Physiology lab right; which took a bit of work, emails and phone calls.  By the end of it all I think it’s okay.

Completed my application for the Radiographer Tech program; I emailed the program director to let him know I will deliver my application and essay to his campus door by 1PM on Monday.

A bit of a lazy afternoon

I just DREAD starting on the Anatomy stuff, but that which is dreaded the most demands the most attention.  Nonetheless it doesn’t make it any easier.

Some online ministering…

FUN TIME WITH AUDIE!  There IS hope!

Sneaking in some kind of study…

Thanks Heimdall!

P.M. Prayer:  Era/Eir:
Era/Eir, whose loving hands and sweet breath brings healing and health, PRAISE YOUR NAME AMONGST NORTH-FOLK! We thank you for your gentle caress, your soft ministrations and your care. When stress, strains, aches and pains plague is, you come with your lithe figure and flowing hair to ease our distress. Eir, goddess holy and wise, we honor you. HAIL ERA/EIR!!

A.M. Prayer:  Saturday, normally attributed to the fertility goddess, Saeter, we pray to Sibba/Sif, lighting a green candle (for fertility):
Sibba/Sif let us see you in all the growing things that sustain our lives. Help us look beyond the packaging and promotion, to the richness of the Earth from which all bounty comes. When ordinary eyes see only corn, let me see your golden hair hid in its silk. When others see only bread, let me see the grain, beyond that, your smile and laughter. Feed our might and main, Holy Sibba/Sif, that we may do our work in the world. HAIL SIBBA/SIF!!

Picture
A.M. Rune:  Kenaz (R):  OHG: Kien, A dimly burning torch, choosing to remain in the dark, a lack of Divine wisdom, lack of creativity, a self-imposed cocoon, the inability to shape the basics of life, uncontrollable processes.

Outcome:  Oh, I don’t know…

I’ll tell ya where this COULD play out is in Anatomy.  I did just fine identifying parts of the brain in Anatomy ID lab, but these specifics in Anatomy lecture I think will kick my ass.  I try, I honestly try…

Finished my application essay for the Rad Tech program

Grocery shopped for a few things and gassed up the buggy.  With the fuel earned shopping and getting prescriptions at Dillons (I filled up the buggy for $1.93 per gal.  When was the last time I filled up ANYTHING for $1.93 a gal?

We watched what was actually a pretty good movie on Sci Fi: Ogre…it was one of the best I’d see on that silly little channel

NCAA Elite 8, Kansas State 56:63 Butler: too bad Kansas…

Okay, so it was the first full day of the 2010-11 MLS 15th Season: Gimme a break…yeah, yeah, yeah, the cocoon thing.  I’ll pick up the study mode again tomorrow!

P.M. Prayer:  Heimdall:
HEAR ME HEIMO/HEIMDALL, the genetic link between gods and humankind.  Your keen eyes and sharp ears guard the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from the Rainbow Bridge leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining home. HAIL HEIMO/HEIMDALL!!

Plans:  try that damned chapter in Anatomy again…

A.M. Prayer:  Friday, we pray to the glorious siblings, Walburga Frouwa/Freyja and Ing Fro/Freyr, and lighting a gold candle (for Freyja’s tears and Freyr’s golden boar, Gullinbursti).
Walburga Frouwa/Freyja, who could not love you? Women admire you for your own inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. HAIL WALBURGA FROUWA/FREYJA!!

Ing Fro/Freyr, you are the god of “Ar”, the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the lusty enlarger of life. When the day to day wears us down, remind us of pleasures and joys. Help us recall the wonderful excesses that brought our lives into being and which sustain the human spirit during good times and bad. Without you, there would be no life and certainly little delight. Thank you, Ing Fro/Freyr, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful. ING FRO/FREYR, HAIL!!

A.M. Rune:  Jera (irreversible): OHG: Jậr Harvest, the Rune of return, two halves of a cyclic whole, harmony-in-movement-in-balance, improvement, the number 12, cycles, the result of a previous action, reward for the right (or wrong) action.

Outcome:  Jeez…I found a major blockage in the vacuum today.  Once I started chipping away at it there was a good SSSSSSSSSSSSUCK (kind of like a reversed Heimlich maneuver: LOL) and it was working like new!  Probably what I get for using the vacuum…well, in ways for which it probably wasn’t designed (no, it wasn’t that, silly person!).

NETCO Construction came over for our 2nd estimate on the bedroom expansion.  I liked this guy a bit better than the Southwestern Remodeling dude.  At least NETCO didn’t start spouting his GOD stuff like Southwestern did.

Slow and steady won the race for the frustrating online chapter in Anatomy: chapter 15 done!  We’ll see if I can complete a second one late: maybe, maybe not…

Audie had her first appointment for meds with COMCARE: let’s hope for a good harvest at a good (and inexpensive) price.

Audie battled once again with her ex…not good.  Her harvest is her business.

Audie fell asleep WAY too early 

WHEW!  Chapter 16 of online Anatomy done: now all I have to do is be able to remember this mountain of information, which I very much doubt my ability to do so.

I’ve had enough tonight…

P.M. Prayer:  Eger und Rahana/Aegir and Ran:
Eger und Rahana/Aegir and Ran, keeper of the deep hall at ocean’s bottom, host to the drowned and the sea lost. Your dwelling might be thought sad and gloomy, but you are known to be kind and hospitable ale givers. In your goodness then, cheer us when waves of misfortune pound our life’s fragile boats to the bottom. For even at the bottom, there is warmth, cheer and hope. Be our assurance and our inspiration to strive on despite the swells and swirls of fate. HAIL AEGIR AND RAN/EGER UND RHANA!!

A.M. Prayer:  Thursday, we pray to Donar/Thor, and lighting a red candle:
Donar/Thor, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, let us advance. When we would be weak, help us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, sharpen our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Help us grow from strength, and teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who appose our will. HAIL DONAR/THOR!!

Picture
A.M. Rune:  Algiz (R):  Outside the favor of Heimo/Heimdall who represents our genetic link with the gods/ancestors, without divine protection, possible dangers lurking, lack of preparedness.  Offset this with extra precautions.

Outcome:  ROFLMAO…Can you believe the word “shat” is past tense of “shit”?  Who would have thunk it?  If Audie uses a word you can take it to the bank it IS a word.  One thing you don’t want to do is to tell Audie, “There’s no such word” after she has used the word.  The woman has oneheluva vocabulary for someone with no college education.

I went to the Work Force Center in an effort to EVENTUALLY gain training funds.  It all went well enough but there are hoops to jump through now because I wasn’t prepared quite well enough; close, but not quite well enough, it seems.

Took the paper work from the Work Force Center to Newman: more hoops because I just wasn’t prepared enough to have my taxes done.  Now my taxes have to be done BEFORE I can apply for the FAFSA and I’ve been hesitant to do taxes because I know they’re going to be ugly!

While on campus Audie asked me to take back the Stephen King book and bring back Oliver Twist.  I found Oliver Twist and brought back three others of my own selection of which she approved gladly.

Mensch!  This online section for Anatomy is a bitch!

MLS 2010-11 season is UNDERWAY!  http://www.mlssoccer.com/ Seattle Sounders FC v Philadelphia Union (the Union’s inaugural season): Seattle completely overwhelmed them with a 2:0 victory!  Those Seattle fans are RABID!  Sleep was the danger lurking.  I remember 10PM, but after 10PM consciousness is always questionable…

P.M. Prayer:  Nirdu/Njord:
Nirdu/Njord, god of harbors and seas close to land, Father of Freyr and Freyja, 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. HAIL NIRDU/NJORD!!

A.M. Prayer:  Wednesday, we pray to the Divine couple: Wodan/Odin and Frija/Frigga, lighting royal blue (for Wodan/Odin) and light blue (for Frija/Frigga) candles.
Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN/ODIN!! We call out to you, not as a slave or on bended knee, but on our feet and opened-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! If we live well, Wodan/Odin, grant us access to one of the Great Halls where we may feast, drink and be merry with those who have gone before us until the time comes to live or fight once more. WODAN/ODIN, HAIL!!!

Frija/Frigga, teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers.  Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. FRIJA/FRIGGA, HAIL!!

A.M. Rune:  Teiwaz (R):  Outside the favor of Ziu/Tyr, the god of honor, honor is called into question, without victory in conflict, injustice, imbalance, mismanagement, failure, dishonesty, double standards; Offset this with extra precautions.

Outcome:  Then I shall “endeavor to persevere” (which Clint Eastwood movie was that?) honorably!

Worked online stuff for Anatomy

Prepared title page and format for the Physiology research paper: The Effects of Sickle-Cell Anemia in Malaria Prone Areas

Audie certainly is lovey-dovey today J

Anatomy class

Quincy’s for lunch: OMGs I had one of the BEST cheeseburgers I have ever had!

Grocery shopped and picked up Audie’s scripts…we now have 678 gas points from shopping and getting scripts at Dillons, which means the next time I gas up the buggy I’ll gas up for less than $2 gal!!!!  I have learned the value of gas points!

Audie’s trip to get her hair trimmed…I went home to put groceries away, picked Audie up again and Audie visited Mickey for her confessional.  Honor is restored!

Peaceful, easy evening…

P.M. Prayer:  Ostara/Idun:                          

Ostara/Idun, keeper of the golden apples of youth, keep us young inside. When we are starving for laughter, hungry for the lightness that comes with having few years on our shoulders, slip us one of those gleaming fruits that we may see the world through youthful eyes. Let springtime be in our steps, love in our hearts and a song on our lips. Change us to the core! Fill us with optimism and dreams for the future. HAIL OSTARA/IDUN!!!

Picture
Dagaz (irreversible):  The light of day, total enlightenment, an awakening, the AH-HA moment, achieving balance and harmony, an ending prior a beginning, transformation.

And

Picture
Kenaz (U):  OHG: Kien, The torch, shaping, fabrication or fashioning of primordial material, brightly burning, knowledge, divine inspiration under control of human craft, creativity and transformation, the application of the Divine.

Outcome:  So it’s a day of enlightenment thru intelligence…perfekt!

It looks like I won the battle for my north border.  My neighbor has back up his fence posts properly!

Audie is in a MUCH better place today!

Compared to Physiology lecture, the lab is much more interesting!  After lab I stopped by the prof’s office and discussed my subject for the research paper.  We decided on “The Effect of Having Sickle-Cell Anemia in Malaria Prone Areas”.  Sounds interesting, yes?

Studied for Anatomy ID lab: the brain

GOT AN “A” on the ID quiz!  I’m so intelligently enlightened.  It’s amazing: we are given this HUGE list of things we have to study and identify via the book, then we go into class and combine studying and identifying on models.  At the end of lab she boils down this massive amount of information to FIVE questions with one extra-credit question: massive dwindled down to minimum and we have to be able to pick out minute parts from the whole.  It’s a real challenge.

Taking the night off from studying

Evening with my Audie…lemme tell ya, when she’s like this she’s the most hilarious person you could ever want to meet!

P.M. Prayer:  Wuldar/Ullr:  
Wuldar/Ullr, god of ski and bow, you glide through the snow-clad forests bringing death to game and life to your people. Remind us that life feeds on life, and that the beauty of the prey is formed generation after generation by the culling ferocity of the predator. Let your Yew-bow be the great World-Yew under another guise, so that through the spirit of the hunter, we may climb its branched to ever higher levels of awareness. HAIL WULDAR/ULLR!!

A.M. Rune:  Plenty of battling for position within the Well but Wunjo won out!

Picture
Wunjo (U):  OHG: Uuuna  (Woon-ah), Joy, the Clanic relationship, social contacts, fellowship, social and domestic harmony, good cheer, new social relationships, Fridu/Frith; within a secure setting, the good side of Wodan/Odin.

Outcome:  Oh yeah, there is JOY in the Elmersson household and Rheinwood both!

Weeeell…joy has quickly turned to shit!
  • Job searched…and that certainly is no joy anymore
  • My house payment went up by $40 because my insurance rates went up and my insurance company didn’t bother to tell me.  That sucks while on unemployment!
  • A lab partner in Physiology lab dropped the class and didn’t bother to tell anyone with the fucking lab report due tomorrow.  Communication between lab partners has sucked anyway and this is just not a good way for a group to QUICKLY communicate.  I tried to call another lab partner (whose campus email hasn’t worked all semester) to see what can be worked up this evening: ARGH!
  • All I could think about in Anatomy lecture was the Physiology situation.
  • Now I have to cram for the Physiology exam!  Can you believe it?  The little fucking weasel DARES to have an exam on THE FIRST FUCKING DAY back from spring break!
  • I don’t have any idea what’s up with Audie.  Once again she’s been out of it.  I sincerely hope that I’m not in for another episode.  I would hate that!

    Audie’s therapist called saying she had to change her appointment


    Studied

    Joy has to be coming from clan/family/sippa or kindred/liut because it’s certainly not HERE any more today.

    P.M. Prayer:  Scata/Skahdi:
    Scata/Skahdi, fleet on your skis and let me be the game you bag with you bow.  Stun me with your grace and beauty, tuck me in the skin-sack at your side, and then take me to your home where wolves howl. There, teach me to know the pleasure of the hunt, the joy of exertion, and the crisp freedom of winter and wilderness. Brand my soul with wind-burn, so that even in the tedium of daily life, I will feel your warm breath, warm on my check, telling me to be strong, able and worthy of you. SCATA/SKAHDI, HAIL!!

A.M. Rune:  Raido (U):  OHG: Reita, Wheel, riding, ordered/rhythmic movement, a journey, the law of the cosmic right, freedom and moral responsibility of the Self, ordered change, the proper course of faring, progress

Outcome:  Lamar’s Doughnuts http://www.lamars.com/ this morning: my idea, my treat; Audie was so pleased!

Some study time

I got into an online discussion/argument on the Wiccan email list about Kansas Law regarding hand-fasting and common law marriage.  There was agreement that hand fasting was doable for the State, but the disagreement came in relation to common law.  She came up with a link to the Kansas Bar Association supporting common law, but I refuted that info with the latest 2005 Kansas Marriage Amendment that limits the legality of, if any, in relation to anything but marriage.  The Kansas Law Amendment was unfortunately voted on in 2005 to offset any interest of Gays and Lesbians to marry within Kansas.  The side effect of the amendment is part (b) that states: “No relationship, other than a marriage, shall be recognized by the state as entitling the parties to the rights or incidents of marriage” and calls into question any recognition of common law marriage.  When I’m right, get the hel out of my way!  My wheels were turnin’ and burnin’!

In and out study time

Audie is just not well today…evidently…but came out of it long enough and well enough to make the pineapple upside-down cake for the open meeting tonight.  She CAN be a trooper!

All I can say is WOW!  It was a great, great great open meeting for RHK.  I am so proud of what Rheinwood IS and the potential she has in the not too distant future!  If ya’ll only had any idea the comradery we all are forming, even with the probationary members; it’s most fantastic!  Things are definitely on the move for RHK!  

P.M. Prayer:  Paltar/Baldr
Blameless Paltar/Baldr, shining god, let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help is to avoid evil, and seek the good. Inspired by you, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and out leaving this life a tragedy. PALTAR/BALDR HAIL!

P.M. Rune:  none
