AM Prayer: Thursday/Donarstac, we pray to Donar, lighting a red candle:
Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, 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; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

AM Elder Rune:  Pertho (neutral) so it could be either:
Pertho (U): Dice cup, the lucky roll of the dice, the presence of positive Wurt/Urlag (the ordeal of Humankind), the Wurtâ; Urda (that which was), Werdanda (that which is becoming) and Sculd (that which is owed), the realization of hidden potential, interwoven yet independent Wurt, good fellowship and happiness, secrets revealed, the Well of Knowledge for growth.

Or 

Pertho (R): The presence of negative Wurt, an unlucky roll of the dice, bad luck, secrets remaining secret, delusions, fantasies, megalomania, outside the collective/individual consciousness, out of touch with reality, negative forces set in motion, the need to deal with uncertainty, unpleasant contractions of birth pains.

Or both

Outcome: Quite the truth!

It wasn’t an apology about last night’s stupidity but it was as close as she’s going to get.

Reworked resumes and did a job search.

Tension; once again, things are never really settled around here.

Solo grocery excursion; because she just didn’t want to come along.

Audie said I was gone a long time for the grocery excursion.  Well ya know what, I wasn’t exactly in any hurry to come home sooner than necessary.  It was kind of nice.

Haircut

Audie over to Momma’s for tele

The Wall of Separation in a relationship can be much higher and more difficult to breach that the Wall of Separation between Church and State; which is malleable a best.

Sometimes long evenings alone with plenty of time to think is a very dangerous thing.

PM Prayer: Forsizo:
As the son of Paltar and Nanda, we call out to you in our time of legal need.  You’re the god of justice and reconciliation.  We know that justice is a double-edged ax.  On the one side, if our argument is right, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, meat-out justice accordingly.  Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!

(Ostarmanod = Ostara/Blissful month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE)

Plans: FOOTBALL ON FX!!! Visit niece

I wrote a new prayer to Saga early this morning:

Saga
You’re the goddess of history; part and parcel of our ever expanding past.  Whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories.  Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come.  Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull.  For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will some day have to deal with our spiritual debt.  We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FEL HAIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.

AM Prayer: Wednesday/Wodanstac, we pray to Wodan, lighting a blue candle:
All-Father God!  Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN!! Son to
Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves 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! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to one of the Great Halls where we may feast, drink and be merry with our heroes and our ancestors until the time comes to live or fight once more. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

Outcome: Well there ya have it.  My prayer to Saga is justified!

Sometimes when I create things like that I just have to sit back and go…ahhhhhhhhh.  Sometimes I’m just amazed at the things that come out of my head.

YUMMERZ!  Pancakes with bacon and scrambled eggs with cheese; cant go wrong.

Kindred member had a death in the family.  I hurried on out to render what services and be of any help I could; ever mindful of our non-christian status and their Baptist status.  I did my best to comfort my kindred member and made myself available.  The Baptists are on their own.

UEFA Champions League Semifinal  (1st of two-game aggregate series on FX Ch31!!!)

I’ve been negotiating for a dog I found on Craig’s List http://wichita.craigslist.org/ and IMnotsohumbleO negotiations aren’t going well.
*Me: (asked for a pic via email; pic sent) Like! Could we arrange a meet?
*Dog owner: Absolutely. When is a good time for you?
*Me: Tomorrow afternoon sometime? I just got off the phone with my vet. Would you let me take her in to see him?
*Dog owner: She had a checkup in Feb. I might be able to do that, if I can go with you
*Me: Of course. Tomorrow afternoon then?
*Dog owner: Where is your vet located at?
*Me: My vet is Richard Bartel @ Air Capital Veterinary, 429 S Hydraulic Suite #2.
*Dog owner: no immediate response
*Me: So, did you want to meet me at my Vet's office or did you want me to pick you up and we go together?  If you want to go together I'll need your address, please.
*Dog owner: After you see her vet records you will see she has been well taken care of by the previous owners. Tell ya what. Since I'm gonna be working at Oaklawn today, I have to sell her pretty quick, I will take $20, for her
*Me: I would still want my vet to look at her, please.
Now it’s going on pretty late in the afternoon and no response; not much time to pick up the dog and run her into Air Cap Vet for Richard to look at her.  I’m not TOTALLY suspicious because of her (supposedly) working in the tornado damaged area, but I am NOT going to agree to take this dog 1. Without previewing it and 2. Without Richard taking a look at her.

Went to visit my ill niece.  I couldn’t stay long because their smoking was getting to me.

Liquor run for Audie…fingers crossed.

Well, that didn’t work out very well, now did it?


Picture
PM Prayer: The Wurtâ:
The 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” will form now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, will be, but we cannot yet
see, We celebrate the Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.

NOTE:  Sunday, when I was dealing with the differences in Rune systems, I overlooked a very curious, later development in yet another Rune system; that being, the Younger Runes:

Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, 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, may we share in your glory by imitating you.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

Outcome: Woooooooow…balance!

VA appt went well

I’ve been contacted on Facebook to contact someone about their views on
“Paganism”.  I’m not quite sure how I’m going to handle this one.


Online counseling with a teenager can be a bitch!  I just wanna SHAKE ‘em!

Well this has been oneheluva challenging afternoon.  Along with the aforementioned online counseling, I’ve also been asked to find something for which I’m not sure I can be of service, but I shall try.

OMGS!  OMGs!  The Rheinwood t-shirts are here!  F-n WOW!

FINALLY got back in touch with a very sick niece.  I’ll go see her tomorrow.

This has been a very strange day.

Balanced checkbook…close but not quite…better now.

I have my eye on a Dalmatian mix pup off Craig’s List.  The owner and I have been in touch and my veterinary is more than happy to check out the pup before I take ownership.

I took our new Rheinwood Nordliut t-shirts out to Mt Hope.  OMGs, what a riot that was.  I am always especially impressed by the kids.  They’re so proud.  They are so ready to wear them to school.  Pics are posted online

PM Prayer: Brego:
Long-bearded god: You’re the god of poetry and eloquence; the adherent god of skalds.  As a son of Wodan and Frija; husband of Ostara, you have the Runes carved on your tongue.  Your inspiration is enhanced by a drink from the glorious mead.  Our oath to you, as we partake upon your silver cup called
Bregofull; we swear our never-ending faith and allegiance to the gods and ways of our ancestors.  We stand firm with them as we live our lives to the fullest. 
WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, BREGO, as we honor the Brego that resides in us all!

Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high.  You’re the measurer and teller of time.  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.

Good job, Pyewacket!  She’s killed two mice in two day; one inside one outside.  I love the preemptive strikes the best.  Ya know though, even when she kills them inside, I never see them before she kills them.  She kills them before they have a chance to become a problem in the house.  Good kitty!

I spent four hours at the Workforce Alliance http://www.workforce-ks.com/ downtown in a class for Interview Success to appease the TAA people.  I also discussed a 5-week certification possibility for obtaining my CDL; well, that along with other things to tie up
the first hour.

AM Rune: Yr:  Woman, God-woman, femininity, desire, sensual love, passion, perfection, Mother, chaos from which creation emerges, female principle in the cosmos, the night, death and instinct, anger, falsehood, error and the oppositions found in humankind, mystical union, night, moon, roots of Ygg from which all life springs.


Outcome: So, the physical me is challenged and my Spirit is well grounded…got it.

After last night’s storms and being a late night, a good slow morning IS in order.

I was challenged on Facebook because of a Rune on a picture.  Mind you I did not create the picture as I simply downloaded it.  Some guy challenged the Rune Kenaz atop a picture with Forsizo.  The conversation that ensued challenged me spiritually and forced an online study.  The basis for his argument an undisclosed Rune poem.  I know there are several versions of Rune poems.  The one he was using was not clear, hence, my search. 

My collective understanding of Kenaz (could be Cen, Kaun, or Ka):

Kenaz (U): The torch, light, shaping, fabrication or fashioning of primordial material, the hearth fire, brightly burning, knowledge, divine inspiration under control of human craft, knowledge from within, intuition, Self-awareness, creativity and transformation, clarity of thought, the application of the Divine.

Kenaz (R): 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, pig ignorance, arrogance, uniformed, ambiguous thought processes, negative/dark influences, cruel sexuality, uncontrollable human craft processes.

My findings:
From the Old Norse Rune Poem
Kaun
Ulcer is fatal to children;
death makes a corpse pale.

From the Icelandic Rune Poem
Kaun - Ulcer
Disease fatal to children
and painful spot
and abode of mortification.

From the Anglo Saxon Rune Poem
Cen
The torch is known to every living man by its pale, bright flame;
it always burns where princes sit within.

From the 6th strophe of Wodan’s Rune Song, attributed to "Ka" in the Armanen Runes
Ka
A sixth I know: when some thane would harm me
in runes on a moist tree's root,
on his head alone shall light the ills
of the curse that he called upon mine

There is even something called The Abecedarium Nordmannicum (aka the Old Swiss Rune Poem) but little credence is given to it:
http://www.odinist.com/othala/showthread.php?358-The-Abecedarium-Nordmannicum-(aka-the-Old-Swiss-Rune-Poem)

I’m just wondering if this study will prompt a revision of my Runic understanding…yep, to a degree it did.

I know Audie doesn’t understand why I get on these…oh…I don’t know what you’d call it.  I am overcome with a type of quest; I HAVE to understand as much as I can about…whatever.  When my knowledge was inadvertently challenged, I had to understand where this guy’s argument was coming from.  Once I understood, I was better, yes; at the same time, I had to make some mental and physical notes.  She has been so good about my added time on the computer as I tend to my personal quests; even though I know it frustrates her.

PM Prayer: Heimo:
HEAR ME HEIMO, Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods.  You’re the genetic link between the gods and
humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, 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 Ensiwëg, 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 homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!

AM Prayer: Saturday/Saturn’s Day/Day of Fertility/Tag der
Fruchtbarkeit
, we pray to Ing-Frô, and to Sibba, lighting green candles (for fertility):
Ing-Frô
, you’re the Great 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-Frô, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in us all!

Sibba, Great Goddess of Fertility and Family, wife of Donar, 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 us see your golden hair hid in its silk. When others see only bread, let us see the grain, beyond that, your smile and laughter. Feed our might and main, Holy Sibba, that we may do our work in the world. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, SIBBA, as we honor the Sibba that resides in us all!

balancing justice, art, capability, artist, genius, being favored, procreation, the child, force, that which is established, World Tree, power, generation, ability and artfulness, executive power of balancing
justice, sensuality, higher consciousness.


 Outcome: This is PERFEKT!  The one is the variant of the other; so my body and spirit are one!

So far we’ve dodged the weather bullet.  North Central/Northeastern Oklahoma, Eastern Kansas and most all of Missouri got hit, though.  Serious storms are still likely here sometime today. 

Man, I can REALLY feel the effects of the light-weight, high-rep, weight-bearing workout.  It’s not too much and not too little.  I can feel things beginning to tighten up.  I think the most amazing thing is the affect I feel from the core workout.  I have to be very careful the pressure I place on my abdomen because of two umbilical hernia surgeries. Sit-ups of any kind are out.  So, what I do is a standing elbow-to-knee, one-two-three ONE, one-two-three TWO, etc…and it seems to be working.  EVERYTHING seems to be
working!

Pyewacket has never been in the Haruc/Hof since she and Audie have been here.  For some reason, she was adamant about going in as I was going out this morning.  I let her go in but I made sure to be in there with her.  She checked out everything for a while, even jumping up on the tables to see.  She didn’t want to leave; protested, but I was not going to take the chance of forgetting she was in there, so I picked her up when I left.  I have forgotten too many times that Socks was in the Haruc and he has spent the night trapped.  I don’t leave any animal alone in the Haruc any more.

EPL on ESPN3.com AND ESPN tele
Norwich City 1:6 Manchester City  Excellent road win for Man City, but what a
romp!

The Democratic Caucus went very well.  We are 100% committed to Barack Obama’s.  The other option was “uncommitted”.  I am now a delegate to the larger local Caucus coming up May 5th.  I’ll have to get more info on it because that is also RN’s Walpurgisnacht.

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.

AM Prayer: Friday/Frijastac, we pray to Frija, and Frouwa, lighting gold candles (for Frija’s spinning threads of gold, Frouwa’s golden tears):

Frija, Great All-Mother; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, 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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!

Frouwa, most lovely of all goddesses, who could not love you: Women as their 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. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa that resides in us all!

Outcome: I love this!

In my morning shower I had a visitor.  I was justtaking care of my own business, when I turn around to find a SPIDER right in my face!  I stepped back a bit and watched it descend on its web-thread.  I asked it. “How am I supposed to finish this shower with you in here?  Your timing is really awful.  You need to go elsewhere.”  Soon enough it started heading back up it’s thread.  When it was above my head I continued my shower.  After I was finished I looked all over for the spider to no avail.  I really thought it had magically disappeared.  I was so close to the belief in magic, but reality came
to the fore and I found the spider in the upper corner of the shower.  IMnotsohumbleO, things can be magical but magic can only personal; there is no magic that effects a situation or one‘s surroundings.  Magic is only within, not without.  “Magical” is a descriptive word.  This was indeed a magical experience.  I quickly email my best Facebook friend because I know she has some knowledge about animal totems.  Here is the link she gave me: http://www.linsdomain.com/totems-s.htm
“Spider: Creativity and Weaver of Fate
A spider totem teaches you balance --between past and future, physical and spirit, male and female. She is strength and gentleness combined. She awakens creative sensibilities and reminds you that the past is always interwoven with the future. Tarantulas (and all spiders) are the keepers of the primordial alphabet and can teach you how to write
creatively. Her body is shaped like the number 8 and she has 8 legs, which is symbol of infinite possibilities of creation. Her 8 legs represent the 4 winds of change and the four directions of the medicine wheel. Spider's message is that you are an infinite being who will continue to weave patterns of life and living throughout time. Do not fail to see the eternal plan of creation. Those who weave magic with the written word usually have this totem.”

Then I just got curious and started looking:

Hmmmmmmmmmm…there's a certain amount of similarity...

Audie to pedicure…I REALLY don’t understand it…

Light-weight, high-rep workout; I’m very satisfied with my weekly workout routine. 

My TAA rep returned my call.  My purpose for calling her in the first place was to assure myself I had no more assessments to do at the Kansas Career Pipeline website http://www.kansascareerpipeline.org/ per her request.   She said everything look good; and that I have actually taken it twice!  WOW!  Anyway, she printed off the results to prepare for my visit Monday.  I also asked her about the six-week CDL class she
mentioned to me.  She seemed excited I was agreeing to it; perhaps so.

WOW!  There’s a storm really is moving in…

Now WTF????

PM Prayer: Nirdu:
Nirdu, brother to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Fro 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 HAIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!

AM Prayer: Thursday/Donarstac, we pray to Donar, lighting a red candle:
Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, 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; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

Outcome: Yessssssssssssssssssssssss…


Created yet another banner for Rheinwood’s consideration.  I have this three-panel banner thing down in the pant program!


I barely got started laying some new (to me) stone in the walkway between the house the Haruc/Hof.  Donar interrupted with other ideas.  That’s okay, I’ll pick it up later.

WOW!  Donar is REALLY rumbling!

While Audie was visiting inside with a neighbor, I was out in the Haruc/Hof experimenting with the idea of hanging banners.  Yep, 2x3 is about all it can handle.

Paid bills

McDs for lunch

The meeting for Caucus assisting went well.  Come to find out I know the guy who’s spearheading the one at which I’m assisting; well, I know OF him.  He was the attorney present at the Death Penalty meeting I attended some time back.

Audie to Momma’s

Home alone…and that’s okay!

I think Rheinwood is close to finalizing a banner.

PM Prayer: Ostara:
Ostara, trustworthy goddess; keeper of the golden apples of youth and eternal life, 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. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, OSTARA, as we honor the Ostara that resides in us all!

Outcome: Body and spirit working in sync!

First thing this morning I once again started working on the Rheinwood Nordliut website; continuously finding was to more adequately reflect the Irminenschaft way of seeing things.  I am using Hjuka’s book like there is no tomorrow!  Perhaps it’s good I don’t have an outside job.  I’m making THIS my job...for now!

2 mile walk

I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I am totally obsessed about doing this Irminenschaft thing correctly.  I even renamed pics of Norse gods and goddesses on my computer to reflect the Irminenschaft.  Perhaps I just know myself all to well.  When I take on something like this I have to have everything streamlined or I have the tendency to become confused.  I don’t want that to happen.

A few football matches on ESPN3.conm while Audie visits w/ the neighbor
Eredivisie (the Dutch league)
AZ Alkmaar 2:2 Twente Enscheda (GREAT match)(Jozey Altidore in the Dutch
league?)
English Premiere League (picture in picture)
Manchester City 4:0 West Bromwich


Wolverhampton 0:3 Arsenal

Damn, now I don’t feel like doing a thing…

Audie to Momma’s for the evening

Home alone…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Audie sure came home in a mood; at least it seems like it.  WTF?  We don’t talk…

I am SO done…

PM Prayer: Wuldar
Wuldar, glory-god, hunting-god, ski-god, dueling-god; Son of Sibba, step-son of Donar, 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.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, WULDAR, as we honor the Wuldar that resides in all of us!

AM Prayer: Tuesday/Ziutac, we pray to Ziu, lighting a purple candle (for honor):
Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, 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, may we share in your glory by imitating you.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

Outcome: Physical stress, spirit sores: got it!

Light-weight, high-rep workout; 3 sets of 15 reps; that’s about all this old body can handle.

Created a couple of Rheinwood Nordliut Banners subject to approval.

Okay, maybe a few more designs; I have figured out how to use the “Paint” program in relation to this design.  Hel, it’s easy!

Called the VA about a diabetic eye exam and a dental visit.  TBD

In contact with my tattoo artist to set up an appointment to finish Freyr’s tattoo. 

Worked on definition in the Wîhstat and otherwise piddled around in the back yard.

Finally came in contact with my Workforce/TAA rep.  Things are in the works!

Audie once again to bed very early.

GODS, I feel like I’ve been beat-down…

LOTS of online time

Dishes and recyclables

I just don’t understand her lately…I just don’t…

PM Prayer: Scata
Scata, Winter goddess, 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, show me the crisp freedom of winter and wilderness.  Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Aesir for the killing of your father, Thiazi, grant us the same ferocity in our lives.  Direct us to be strong, able and worthy of you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, SCATA, as we honor the Scata that resides in us all!
