AM 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!!

AM Rune: Jera (irreversible): Harvest, 12th Rune of the Futhark, a turning point, cause and effect, the Rune of return, two halves of a cyclic whole, harmony-in-movement-in-balance, improvement, growth, progress, patience, the number 12, cycles, the result of a previous action, reward for the right (or wrong) action.

Outcome: Audie started talking stupid stuff last night (I don’t have ANY idea what started it) which led me to keep checking on her; twice during the night and this morning, too. She’s sleeping and still breathing. That’s a good thing. I called Prairiewiew to let them know what’s going on. Yes, it’s that concerning.

Morning class went fine.

Audie is still asleep…still breathing.

Class went fine. I think I did okay on the exam, but I know I screwed up the extra credit question after I put so much time into it.

Came home and Audie was still asleep. I took it upon myself to wake her. My concern was that she had not been up to go to the bathroom. I was pretty rude/emphatic with my waking her but she got up nonetheless. She wasn’t totally present at all. She said something about being hungry so I made her an egg sandwich. She went to the bathroom, ate her egg sandwich and back to sleep. I don’t get it.

Packed a lunch for tomorrow; all day at the hospital.

Studied

I listened to our President’s speech on the US’ combat roll coming to an end. You can say what you want, but we never belonged there in the first place. Our troops lost their lives because of a dumb-ass President who wanted nothing mare than controlling the price of oil. Then we got mired with all the Iraqi politics and bullshit. Our President has done the right thing and hopefully will soon do the same in Afghanistan. We have been in a war that can never be won by conventional war methods. The only way we can win a war against terrorism is to act just like them; fight like them. Our men and women are open targets as uniformed soldiers. Guaranteed, the terrorists know exactly where our soldiers are. However, the person standing next to a soldier could be the enemy and he/she would never know it. Thank you, President Obama, for doing the right thing that should have been done a very long time ago.

WTF is it with all this sleep? I have never HEARD of anybody doing this. Who the hel sleeps 24+ hours? I mean legitimately sleeps…This completely baffles me.

Early to bed for an early rise tomorrow.

PM 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!!

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.

AM Rune: Inguz (Irreversible): Yngvi Ing Fro/Freyr, the god of Ar: prosperity, abundance, sexuality and fridu, gestation, the womb and the tomb, fertility, fruitfulness, peace and plenty, nature wisdom, sacrifice for the positive, completion of one stage and progressing to the next, internal growth, wait.

Outcome: HAIL Yngvi Frey: my god, my brother and my friend!

Before the crack of dawn walk for Meeka and me, a 4 mile bicycle ride for me. I had a wonderful conversation with my JW neighbors afterwards.

I spent considerable time trying to call the unemployment people to get some kind of verification as to when my extended unemployment compensation will begin again; however, to no avail. Hopefully this is an indication of completing one stage and going on to the next.

Lab at the hospital went well.

My Vanic order is complete: Visions of Vanaheim, Peace and Good Seasons; A Devotional to Ing-Frey, and American Wights; all by Svartesol Well, now they will all have to get in line and I will digest them as I can. HAIL YNGVI-FREY!

More of my Yule gifts arrived, too. HAIL YNGVI FREY!

Quincy’s for dinner, Audie’s treat. It certainly was a huge amount of food. Hopefully it didn’t bust the hel out of my diet. Note to self: remember…take home plates!

I was so sweating bullets over my first Medical Terminology exam for no reason. I GOT A 100%! There may be some real fertility here. HAIL YNGVI-FRY!

Audie is just now realizing her cat Pyewacket, is upset with her. I think Pye feels abandoned by Audie, and probably rightfully so; Audie spending 10 days at gay-boys’ house and not being herself once she finally decided to come home. Yeah, I can imagine Pye feel pretty much pissed!

Meeka flea bath: not quite as many as there was a while ago…hey, isn’t there a song in that somewhere?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…there is!
Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a comin’.
There wasn’t quite as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began a-runnin’
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico!

They ran thru the briar and the ran thru the bramble
And they ran thru the bushes where the rabbits couldn’t go.
The ran so fast that the hounds couldn’t catch ‘em;
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico!
(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsRK3DNoa_Q

Once again I am unable to get Audie to engage me in conversation. It seems she would rather text…WHOMEVER…than talk to me. Hmmmm…a completion?

What I thought was going to be one of Audie’s better days has certainly turned up shitty…completion?

PM 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!!

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!!

AM Rune: Naudiz (Irreversible): The Rune of Need (whether physical, emotional, spiritual), a Norn Rune, a stress indicator, urgency, a generating force for the greater good, friction, transformation, resistance leading to strength, an evolutionary change toward a more holistic state, Fate. Time to hold a personal inventory.

Outcome: Bicycle ride; I’m up to 4 miles! I need this!

Meeka Walk

I have officially lost 11 lbs: weighed in at 262 lbs. I have reduced meal portions (9” plate diet) and have increased activity via bicycling and walking. It seems to be working. I need this, too!

Finished yard…LOL…wish I didn’t need to do this.

GREAT MATCH! This was definitely needed!

Hamburger patties with onions, pan-fried to perfection, the creamiest mac-n-cheese with peas: I am SUCH a gourmet chef! Audie ate a bit of it. I, on the other hand, made a pig of myself.

I tried to get Audie to engage me in conversation about why she constantly seems to depressive and in a constant state of sleepiness with little or no contact between us. Still, she insists on the toothache thing but I am just not buying it. I’m through worrying about it. It’s her deal.

Today’s study time is brought to you by Medical Terminology and Radiographic Physics.

Personal inventory;
Spiritually…fine!
Financially…not good and could get worse if unemployment doesn’t come through soon
Emotionally…personally…good!
Relationship…still hanging…but not great
Batting roughly 50% on the “need” department…doable.

PM 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!!

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 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/Sif, that we may do our work in the world. HAIL SIBBA/SIF!!

Outcome: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Bicycle ride…it wasn’t that long ago I had trouble just going around the neighborhood. I have now extended the ride out further, easily extended as the need arises and that will be coming soon. STRENGTH!

Worked on the Rheinwood website a bit by taking out ineffective videos and replacing them with some new, more educational, videos
http://rheinwood.weebly.com

Grocery shopped: spent the last of the available money for the month with no sign of unemployment. There’s still some in the savings draw/liquid account but that has to be used sparingly.

Audie has slept most all day. She’s complaining about (and came home with) a toothache.

Wooooooooow…that has to be the most fucked finale I have ever seen. Most go to “Level 2” and are on a cargo ship in the middle of the ocean while one goes back to the town with new captive participants.

Once again, I almost forgot about MLS

Ya know, I don’t think Audie ahs smiled once since she’s been home. Okay, I understand the toothache thing but I’m beginning to question even the validity of that claim (I.e. no swelling of any kind). I think there’s something else going on that she’s not talking about. I, however, remain strong!

DAMN, completely forgot about the yard…oh well, tomorrow.

PM Prayer: Nirdu/Njord:
Nirdu/Njord, god of harbors and seas close to land, Father of the Vanir; 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!!

AM 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 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. 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!!

Two loads of laundry

It didn’t take long for her to make her way into bed…

Medical Terminology…WOW…now THERE’S an awakening. My head is already ABLAZE in overload.

PM 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!!!

And

Ehwaz (R): The relationship of a horse and rider out of control, disharmony, quarrelsome tendencies, mistrust, betrayal, indecisiveness, false friends, treachery, change and movement for the worse, loss, break-up of a relationship, disruption of relationships.

Outcome: Victory over a troublesome relationship; I can deal with that…

Morning class went well.

I called Audie asking her to return a book I checked out for her from Newman U and about the Norse Tarot book/deck I’m thinking about sending to someone on the Vanatru list. What wasn’t expected was a compliant Audie who is ready to come home. Amazing, isn’t it? She asked me what my class schedule was for today I told her I get out of my last class around 3PM. She said she was wanting to come home. I have never denied her that; at the same time I was wanting her to do it on her own without me saying anything. Nonetheless I have mixed emotions. We’ll see…

Class once again went well. There’s lots to do for next week.

Once home I quickly gathered up the recyclables and took them in to the recycling place: http://recyclewichita.org/

Hungry: polished off three hotdogs. No sooner did get them down and my brother called asking to go out to dinner with him and his wife. I never turn that down. Well, I did once for the very same situation. There, I had a plate and a half of spaghetti: almost miserable…okay, REALLY miserable.

Mid-evening and no call from Audie…I guess she wasn’t serious.

Fell asleep way too early, now I’m awake way too late.

PM 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!!

Plans: first day of clinicals for the semester at Wesley hospital

Note: WOW! 56F this morning! I actually had the a/c off overnight and had to use the covers. This is such a beautiful morning; so much so, I took Meeka out for a before-the-crack-o-dawn walk. Look at that…it‘s after 6AM and no sign of the sunrise: the full moon is well into the western skies…Hmmm…and methinks a bicycle ride for me after sunrise.

AM 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.

Mannaz (R): Problems relating with Heimdall and humanity, without cooperation between people, the inability to work within a social structure in an effective way, intellectual arrogance, bigotry, closed mindedness, failed social interaction and disorder; anti-social behavior and lack of Divine structure.

Outcome: So, there is hope in prosperity, but first I must deal with nasty people.

While out walking Meeka this morning I came across an abandoned bicycle in a vacant lot. It was a rather old style TREK that has been well used. Rather than leave it there I took it home with me and called 911 to see what to do. They had an officer come out to take my report and custody of the bicycle.

Clinicals went fine!

My “Visions of Vanaheim” book arrived today…J …it will just have get in line.

Audie called and was immediately confrontational: JsMrFnChst! We just can’t get along at all anymore. She started talking about a split.

It’s hard to study when one is angry…

PM 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!!

Outcome: All is well…all is well…

Classes are moving forward, but I still have no book or any prospect of getting books. I have been up to the financial aid office on campus to see if a voucher is there; no such luck. I tried to call my caseworker twice and her supervisor one; both to no avail. ARGH! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? Please don’t tell me they’ve ran out of money…

At the break for the afternoon class on Radiologic Physics I called the Work Force Alliance one more time: SUCCESS! My voucher is in! FINALLY! So I called the financial aid office asking to come pick up the voucher since the two buildings are practically adjacent. After class I went book shopping! My books were just under $700 and $88 for the scrubs: $781 total. Finally…finally…finally!

Audie has expressed an interest in coming over here “for a break”. I don’t have a a problem with that because I have much to discuss with her.

Lots to take care of around the house. I tried to call Audie but it went right to messages. I started dinner for myself and Audie too if she comes over.

Tired

Called Audie a second time and this time she picked up. I told her (and she (already knew of this) that I won’t have much time to visit because this is my first look at the books for the semester; so, typically, she opted to stay away until I had more time for her. Oh well…

Books the rest of the night…

PM 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.

AM Rune: Laguz (R): A dried-up body of Water, difficulties with relating to the feminine, manipulation, lack of moral fiber, emotions out of control or suppressed, shallow minded, fear, deception, unsympathetic, totally void of growth, failing to go with the flow.

Outcome: I went on campus to print out some things I couldn’t yesterday; come to find out I have been better prepared than I thought. No printing was necessary.

Since I was on campus I checked on my voucher for books and scrubs: no voucher present. I called my case worker and SHE said it probably won’t be there until later today: ARGH! I just hope it shows up SOMETIME today so I don’t have to play catch-up. Does it matter via Laguz that all those involved in this faux pa with funds is FEMALE? Hel, summer semester has yet to be paid and now this semester, too. It’s one of those things completely out of my hands.

I think classes got off to a good start!

YAY! Yule gifts have started arriving! It was a must to start shopping with the getting was good!

I wait with breathless anticipation the news on my voucher so I can get books for the semester.

Nothing is pressing yet; methinks I’ll look into these Armanen Runes. I have information available at my fingertips so I might as well utilize it.

JsMrFnChst…still no word from the Work Force Alliance and my voucher for books. Now I have to go into busy day of classes with no books…FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK IS THE HOLD UP? I am not a sexist, believe me, but when too many of one gender run an operation (in this case the Work Force Alliance and females) things just have a tendency to run amuck. I am also reminded of the Census Bureau, mostly ran by females, is an absolutely fucked up operation.

One of Audie’s oldest friend called and she doesn’t understand this whole situation either.

Do I get to say JsMrFnChst again? I am taking an online course for Medical Terminology. The instructor, who happens to be female, sent out an email to all her online students AND THE WHOLE THING WAS HER YELLING AT THE STUDENTS TELLING THEM TO GET ON THE PROPER INTERNET BROWSER SO THE COURSE COULD BE SUCCESSFUL. I mean, my gods, c’mon…

So far, problems with the feminine all day…

Called Audie…she sounded as though she was in a good mood.

PM 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 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!

Plans: dunno, don’t care (LOL)

AM 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!!

AM Rune: Two Runes

Picture
Sowulo (Irreversible): The Sun, Sonne/Sunna, a lightening bolt, victory, success, life force, confidence, optimism, the clear light of day, can be a destructive lightening flash (clearing), the will to victory, appearance of a guiding principle, guidance in journeying, spiritual guidance, and leadership.

And

Picture
Ehwaz (U): The special, controlled relationship between a rider and a horse, taking control of a situation, adaptability, following one’s instincts, teamwork, trust, loyalty, partnership, cooperation, instinct, intuition, working in tandem with another.

Outcome: So in victory there is control (and possible hope in a relationship?); or, Victory will come as I follow my instincts. ARGH! I try not to let my feelings get in the way in reading these things. Sometimes this can be so complicated…

Meeka for a crack-o-dawn walk…

Audie called first things this morning and started telling all the problems she’s having over there. I listened for a bit, but soon had to tell her I had absolutely no interest of anything happening because of her decision to be there; now for a week; not to mention the fact I feel very used in this. I don’t think she realizes there are repercussions to any decision made; and in this case her BAD decision. I feel absolutely no compassion for her situation. I don’t know why she would expect anything different.

This is some really fun stuff!

A load of laundry

Invited myself over to my best buddy’s house; he’s always a hoot, and I brushed Rufus! Rufus is a 21 yr old black cat that still has jumping ability!

Off to campus to print out some final pages for classes……….well that was a wasted trip. The bookstore was open but the library was not…and they’re in the same building. What kind of shit is that?

GODS I make some good homemade tacos! The secret is in the taco meat…

Made some phone calls to family. I love my family!

Not necessarily just today, but lately, her sister has called, her former business associate has called, her parents have called; methinks Audie is just so far gone…

Eh, that’s enough for today.

PM 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;
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.
