(Ostermond/Ostarmanod = Ostara Month)(E.R.E. = Eternal Roman Empire [rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE])

Plans:  Anatomy test, Physiology test, quick walk to the asylum…

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!!

Rune Summons:
Born of Fire, born of ice,
Life is lived at such a price.
Holy Runes send my way
Advice on how to spend the day

Picture
A.M. Rune:  Uruz (R):  OHG: Ur, A weakened position, an impulse towards inaction, a severe lack of foundation and energy at low levels, reduction, elasticity, taking no risks at this time, illness: Offset this with extra precautions.

Outcome:  Well, at least the dimly burning torch is gone (see yesterday) but an unstable situation still exists.

There is and will be plenty of destabilization for the next several weeks: going to Missouri this weekend to bring back Audie’s stuff (then gotta find places to put it), finishing a tough semester in whatever way it falls, two weekends from now my first colonoscopy procedure, finishing a tough semester in whatever way it falls, Heritage wanting me back May 3 (which probably won’t happen)…lots of stuff.

Audie to CSL at the crack-of-fucking-dawn

McDs breakfast after

Cram study

The Anatomy test…well, come to find out I wasn’t the only one who looked at that test and went WTF?  We’ll just have to wait and see.  I am sure it won’t be pretty.  

I have the tendency to think that things happen for a reason.  As I was heading to Anatomy class I saw a familiar face.  He was the program director for the Legal Assistant program at WSU.  He is now a professor of the Paralegal studies at Newman.  He was just finishing up a class.  So many memories and possibilities ran thru my head.  Why was it, after struggling all with Anatomy and Physiology questioning everything, do I run into a familiar face from a familiar program of study?  My Associate degree in Legal Assistant is dead because it’s so old, but it certainly couldn’t take that much to revive, and legal proceedings were and still remain my first love.  Perhaps I had to endure this to get to where I needed to be all along.  I plan to have a face-to-face very soon with John C. to discuss this and tell him of my progress.  I would be curious to see how he would respond.

Destabilization can lead to re-stabilization.  

Surprisingly enough I better about the Physiology exam than the Anatomy exam.

Worked on the Physiology lab report.  DAMN, it looks good!  I got an email from the professor saying we have reached the end of labs and once we get this lab report in we’re done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I just wish the same could be said for Anatomy lab.

I’m a bit anxious to see test results from both classes.

At first I questioned this Rune for the day, but now I get it! 

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:  finish yard, study

A.M. Prayer:  Sunday, we pray to Sonne/Sunna, lighting a yellow candle (symbolic of the Sun):
Greetings to you Sonne, Lamp of Wodan/Odin: newly risen! Hail to you who has shown on all our ancestors, who shines on us, and who will shine on our decedents yet unborn. Share with us some of your light, your energy, your power, so that we might better fight our battles and attain our goals. SONNE/SUNNA HAIL!!

A.M. Rune:  two Tunes

Picture
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.

And

Picture
Uruz (R):  OHG: Ur, A weakened position, an impulse towards inaction, a severe lack of foundation and energy at low levels, reduction, elasticity, taking no risks at this time, illness: Offset this with extra precautions.

Outcome:  If this pertains to my studies, yeah…

Now the ENTIRE yard looks so much better: trimmed and nice!  Even the Solar Cross is much better defined thanx to the new yard play-toy!

Audie is in such a good mood.  That makes everything so much nicer around here.  When she’s signing and being goofy I know every thing is okay.

I have to imagine that the morning Runes pertain to my faulty study efforts.  This has been a really tough howdy-do semester to Newman University; and I have questioned many times if I am equal to the task of the necessary sciences for the health profession.  Physical sciences have ALWAYS shunned.  Perhaps I’m barking up the wrong tree for a profession.  The lack of knowledge and the instability are really speaking to me.

A quick trip to the store for a few things 

Okay, I understand the Rune reading.  Time to reset the Rune dynamic.  

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

Picture
P.M. Rune:  Pertho (R):  The presence of negative Wyrd, an unlucky roll of the dice, bad luck, secrets remaining secret.  Offset this with extra precautions.

Comments:  Well shit…

JsMrFnChst…WTF is going on?  I don’t have a clue other than the current study dilemma.

Gotta be something going on somewhere: unbeknownst to me…with all the negativity I/we are having a pretty good day…

Some kind of study time…tomorrow is cram day!

NOTE: 6:30 AM, the only time to catch some EPL futball on the tele:

Manchester United 0:1 Manchester City (goal in extra time)

Plans:  Audie to CSL, study

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!!

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:  We are both winners in our loosing ways and are reaping the harvest of our efforts!  Yesterday at the VA’s fat man class at the weigh-in I noticed I have lost 5 lbs.  Today at Audie’s CSL appointment discovered at her weigh-in that she has lost 7 lbs!

While Audie was at CSL I started playing with the recently purchased trimmer/edger.  OMGs this thing is a weed killer!  Last year’s was a 5 AMP and it died an ugly death, so I had to by another one this year.  It’s a 7 AMP monster!  Audie wanted to play with it too and at made short work of edging the yard; well, at least the front yard.  

Merle’s for lunch: Audie’s treat…

Finished cleaning up after the monster trimmer: it sure was good about throwing stuff all over!

Audie was in the mood for clothes with which to use on the St Louis trip.  We went to the consignment shop where she has a few things.  She was delightfully surprised to see that she so $70+ of stuff.  She spent almost all of it.  It amazes me how she is so willing to get rid of clothes on consignment but equally ready to buy more clothes from consignment.  Nonetheless, it’s her harvest and her reward!   She really has good taste in clothes and knows what looks good one her.  I came out with a thermos and a Huckleberry Finn book.

MLS http://www.mlssoccer.com/
Kansas City Wizards 0! Seattle Sounders FC (Seattle goal scored late in stoppage time: DAMN IT!)
Chivas USA 0:3 Houston Dynamo
ChicagoFire 2:0 DC United
FC Dallas 1:2 NY Red Bulls J
New England Revolution 0:2 San Jose Earthquakes (this is a WOW!)
Real Salt Lake 1:2 LA Galaxy

Study…depression…I just know I’m not doing that well in these classes; was at one time, not any more, and it’s difficult to study: it almost seems pointless…sad, 10+ years ago at WSU I did very well…it seems that the health professions take a different kind of smart-ness…maybe I’m just not smart enough for the health profession…this is a good example of reaping a bad harvest due to a wrong action.  I’m just very disappointed in myself.  There is no one else to blame, really, but me.

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!!

Plans:  gotta stick with it to the bitter end!

NOTE: I was up for a couple hours in the middle of the night just worrying about many things that had to do with classes, relationships, the future, usw….  

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:  Othilla (U):  Home and heritage (spiritual or physical), the home within, loyalty to family, tribe or village, group prosperity, order, interaction, or freedom.

Outcome:  Whew!  Excellent!  At least that part is good.

With both Federal and State tax returns in the checking account this morning I was off to Lowe’s for a yard trimmer: mine pooped out last year; spent about $100 for the electric trimmer (to go with my electric mower) and a couple extra spools.  The rest of the small windfall went into my 2nd checking account to be accessed when I decide what computer I want; but even at that, I will still be able to save some, too.

Yeah, in that respect, the home front is good!

Boxes for Audie to bring back stuff from St Louis

Fat-man class at the VA; they didn’t tell me anything I already knew.  It was practically a two-hour waste of my precious time.

Power napped

Audie made THE BEST sticky-ribs: all her own sauce…OMGs!

Audie a special present all her own…hehe

There’s a new stray dog hanging around the neighborhood, and it’s a fence climber: I WATCHED IT as it climbed out of a neighbor’s back yard!  Meeka is officially an indoor-bound dog until I am sure this other dog is either taken into custody or off to bother other neighborhoods.  This home will stay stray secured!

Finally some study time…

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!!

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!!

A.M. Rune:  Laguz (U):  A body of water, life ever-flowing; seen and unseen, the leek (a healing herb) the feminine, Nirdu/Njord, Nerthus, Ing Fro/Freyr and Walburga Frouwa/Freyja, potential for life, personal growth.

Outcome:  I fully enjoy the Vanic connection and the potential for grow that comes with the Laguz Rune!

It’s been a good slow morning.

The Safelight Auto Glass people were here promptly.  They were a nice couple of guys who worked well together.  I really like the “in your driveway” service!  I asked these guys of their company was hiring and they said they were; so I went online and filed out my application.  It sure was more involved than I ever thought it was going to be.

We are already trying to make plans for the next couple of weekends that are going to be very full with me still trying to finish up the semester.

Worked some online Anatomy stuff and worked the extra credit for the semester, too.  The extra credit dealt with fetal development: too bad it’s only extra credit.  I would have found it interesting to have a more in-depth look at that chapter. 

To the store to finish my fuck up from my earlier honey-do list

Audie to COMCARE appointment: I think this might have been a good growth session for her.

With some serious negotiations I went ahead and made a liquor run.  I had to get her to agree to a serious half-and-half deal (she has a tendency to go through liquor quicker than I do).  She gets half the mead and half the beer.  When her half is done it’s done, no matter how much I have left to drink. IF, and that really is a huge if, she can keep to this agreement without incident that would be a major step forward in her growth.  My concern in her liquor consumption is how liquor can react with all the meds she’s taking.

A bit of tension this evening but even that can be a growing experience.

Studied; in spite of frustration 

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:  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:  Algiz (U):  Protection, Heimo/Heimdall (the genetic connection between gods and the Folk), guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, expansion of consciousness, divine realizations, an awakening, AKA Elhaz, the Elk.

Outcome:  HAIL!

Meeka for a walk first thing this morning

Worked on some online stuff almost right up until the time for class

Mother-fucking damn…the anatomy professor WHIZZED right thru two chapters.  She just HAD to shove it down us.  JsMrFnChst!  In my way of thinking, that is no way to prep a class for an exam on Monday.  

Once home we did some MAJOR shopping: damn; I think that was the most I have EVER spent on groceries.  Hopefully Audie will come up with some contributions to the budget soon.

Snacked on new food…

Finished more online stuff for Anatomy with one more chapter to go

Late evening and Audie realized that something wasn’t right with her.  She took her nighttime meds and drifted off to sleep.  This is another example of how far Audie has come.  She seems to be in a good sleep-space.  I HOPE she’s in a good sleep-space.

Thank you, Heimdall, for your protection!

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!!

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!!

A.M. Rune:  Two Runes:

Picture
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.

And

Picture
Fehu (R): OHG: Fihu, Lack of creative energies, or the ability to create wealth, greed, disconnected from the source, an ineffective beginning and a misuse of power.  Offset this with extra precautions.

Outcome:  WOW!  This could go a couple of ways.  Either it could be:
Giving gifts according to my poverty (LOL)

Or

A relationship that has/had an ineffective beginning

We’ll see…

First thing this morning when I checked email there was a notice from Spirit AeroSystems http://www.spiritaero.com/ about an inspector position.  It would be nice to go back to work but I never place much hope in things like this.  What can you expect after a year of constant denial for a job?

Audie woke up seeing “trails”; that’s not a good start to this relationship morning.

Physiology lab went better because we had our old lab group back and didn’t have to parlay with the girls.

I think Audie had a beneficial doctor appointment today.  If I remember correctly it had something to do with her SSI determination.

Power napped

Typical Anatomy lab ID…I thought for sure I had this one…now THIS is a relationship that did NOT have a good beginning!

Studied…

LOL…I think Audie forgot about leaving me alone while in the office/computer room (Gebo/Fehu (R)?)…LOL…I know, I know, I’m just so damned handsome she can’t keep her hands of me; she has to be near me…ROFLMFnAO…gods, I amuse myself so easily sometimes!

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!!!

Outcome:  J

Both Anatomy and Physiology are really loading up now…

A MAJOR change has happened as Audie is actually encouraging me to study and is pushing me into the office/library/computer room to do it.  This is just what I needed about now!  This kind of behavior will enhance the possibility of leading to a more holistic state!

I am not sure what happened at Audie’s broker but we left with her “thinking about it”, what ever the IT is.

Some really good study time…

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!!

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!!

P.M. Rune:  none

(Ostermond/Ostarmanod = Ostara Month)(E.R.E. = Eternal Roman Empire [rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE])

Plans:  ???

NOTE:  I woke up this morning around 5AM with my mind ABLAZE with thoughts of things I could put on the RHK web page!  You’d have to see it to believe it.  It’s that involved.  I got it started on it but it may take some time to finish.  It was one of those in-between times of not quite asleep and not fully awake: BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ!  It was wild!

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!!

Rune Summons:
Born of Fire, born of ice,
Life is lived at such a price.
Holy Runes send my way
Advice on how to spend the day

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:  What the…?

Half the yard mowed and sculpted the solar cross…

I enlisted Audie’s help in typing something for the RHK web page J

I know I spent WAY TOO LONG on the RHK web site…even WITH Audie’s help.

I think I’ve lost the battle with studies, but I can still “endeavor to perceiver”! 

It was just a “spring fever” kind of day…didn’t feel like doing much.  I guess I totally, voluntarily, mismanaged any kind of study time today…

It’s a HUGE day for MLS/futball http://www.mlssoccer.com/
  • Chivas USA 2:0 NY Red Bulls
  • DC United 2:3 Philadelphia Union (UNION WINS in their inaugural game in their new stadium with 34,000+ fans in attendance)
  • Toronto FC 1:4 New England Revolution (WOW!  Coach is going to be looking for a new job soon)
  • Colorado Rapids 0:1 Kansas City Wizards (Good job, Wiz!)
  • LA Galaxy 2:0 Houston Dynamo
  • Columbus Crew 2:2 FC Dallas
  • San Jose Earthquakes 2:1 Chicago Fire
  • Seattle Sounders FC 2:2 Real Salt Lake

    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
