(Skeidentimanod = Summer’s End Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than

Plans:  recover, work 2nd shift

AM Prayer:  Tuesday, Ziostag, we pray to Zio/Tyr, 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, may we share in your glory by imitating you. ZIU/TYR HAIL!!

AM Rune:  Berkana (U): The feminine, Nerthus, birth processes, rejuvenation, growth, nurturing, mature wisdom, recuperation, purification, the birch tree, birth, becoming, life changes, the Earth Mother, the kind Mother, Frija/Frigga at her most Motherly, healing, bringing into being, a significant life passage.


Outcome:  WOW!  This DOES speak volumes in many ways!  HAIL THE ALL-MOTHER!

Dealt with the VA first thing this morning and explained to them the bad mo-jo that happened yesterday in relation to their Rx.  They want me to bring in the old Rx.  Supposedly I’m getting another Rx without codeine.

Audie some cigs

McDs for breakfast

Takin’ it easy…

Prior to heading off to work I stopped by the VA to swap out cough meds for one that doesn’t have the codeine component.  That was the quickest in/out I have ever had there!  Hopefully this stuff will do the trick.  It sucks getting old; trying to figure out what changing/what isn’t.


Work went fine.  I‘m feeling marginally better.  “The mouth” wasn’t there.  I know he’s had some dental problems lately.  I’m not sure when the root canal is scheduled.

Thank you for you wonderful arms of Motherhood, Frigga!  You are my goddess!

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!!

(Skeidentimanod = Summer’s End Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than
BC, AD, BCE or CE)

 Note: Okay, here is where I’m not sure how these lunar months go.  Since this
is the 2nd new moon of the month, does it become “Another Harvest Month” or does it go on to “Summer’s End Month”?  Until I find out differently I am going forward to “Summer’s End Month”.

Plans:  work 2nd shift

AM Prayer:  none, didn’t make the Hof

AM Rune:  none

Outcome:  GODS I FEEL LIKE SHIT THIS MORNING!  Everything finally caught up
with me after days of fighting it.  Back to bed, work is questionable.

Contacted the VA.  My personal physician is out today and tomorrow.  I “fill-in” doctor prescribed some antibiotics and cough medicine.  I am concerned about the codeine.

Didn’t make work

Errands:
*Dillons for a couple of things
*Dillons petrol: gassed up the buggy

Napped/took it very easy

I don’t think this cough medicine is going to work out; I mean, barfing twice
since I took it…

Gave Meeka her last flea treatment for the season

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!!

Outcome:  Weeeeeeeeell…

Trying to regroup…mostly unsuccessful…

Audie back to bed early

Uneventful morning

I would LOVE for this coughing to be ending and new health returning!

Work went fine; that is, until I got in “the mouth’s” face and told him to knock of his rap/gangster shit around me.  He was just in persistent form.  I’m tired of it!  All of a sudden I became the bad guy when all I want is to do my work and go home without any child’s pay!  Is that REALLY too much to ask?  Now he’s enlightened!

Yesterday’s MLS matches: http://www.mlssoccer.com/ 
Seattle 6:2 Columbus (WOW!)
Toronto 1:1 San Jose
Vancouver 1:0 Houston
Chicago 2:0 Colorado
Sporting KC 2:3 Dallas (DAMN!)
Chivas 0:1 Salt Lake

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!!

8/28/2011

0 Comments

 
(Aranmond = Harvest Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD,
BCE or CE)

Plans:  Blacktop Nationals, work 2nd shift 


Picture
AM Prayer:  Saturday, Day of Fertility/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit,
normally attributed to the (rather obscure) fertility goddess, Saeter (more correctly Saturn), we pray to Sibba/Sif and to Fro/Freyr, lighting green candles (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 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!!

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, Fro/Freyr, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful.  FRO/FREYR, HAIL!!

AM Rune:  Eihwaz (Irreversible): Yggdrasil, the Cosmic axis, stress and
difficulties, a backbone, need to have backbone to get through, endurance, difficulty, “Shit happens, get over it!“, temporary  cosmic consciousness, inner stability over external circumstances, the Shamanic link of experiences between the Worlds.


Outcome:  Rough night coughing; coughing up stuff from where I don’t know.  I’m not sick.  Don’t feel sick.  Where is this shit coming from?

The Blacktop nations just didn’t happen today.

It’s always stressful when the weekend shift starts at 13:30.

Work went fine.

This cough is getting dangerous: sore esophagus, hiccups, vomiting, but the danger came in when I went into a coughing fit on the way home.  It was all I could do to remain conscious when my body ran out of air.  Things went fuzzy on the Seneca off ramp with traffic ahead; close call.


I should mention the hurricane dominating the news this week.  It’s been interesting to watch it move from N. Carolina all the way up to New England: 
http://news.yahoo.com/hurricane-irene/

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 our leaving this life a tragedy. PALTAR/BALDR HAIL!

Picture
AM Prayer:  Friday, Friggastag, we pray to Frija/Frigga, Froja/Freyja, lighting gold candles (for Frigg’s spinning thread of gold, Freyja’s golden tears).

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!!

Froja/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 FROJA/FREYJA!!

wish, the strong Clanic relationship, social contacts, fellowship, happiness, optimism, realization of true will, social and domestic harmony, good cheer, new social relationships, Fridu/Frith; within a secure setting, the good/bright side of Wodan/Odin.


Outcome:  SMILING!

Methinks I forgot to mention my order from Ink Pixi showed up: http://inkpixi.com/ T-shirt, hat and hoodie with “Reimer Farms” on them: happy!

There was quite a waiting period at the plasma thingie.  With all we needed to get done today Audie opted to come home.

I got enough sleep.  Why so lazy?

At least I entertained the thought of starting the yard today: eh, tomorrow.

Work went fine.  Things just got to the point I had to tell “the mouth” I will not participate in his gangster BS any more.  Typically, he tried to pull me back in but I refused to respond accordingly.  I also know he’ll try it again tomorrow night.  I simply will not placate his stupidity.  My decision really made for a happy, more enjoyable shift.

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. Fro/Freyr and Froja/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!

AM Prayer:  Thursday, Thunarstag, we pray to Thunar/Thor,  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 THUNAR/THOR!!

Laguz (U): A body of water, life ever-flowing; seen and unseen, the leek (a healing herb) the feminine, Nirdu/Njord, Nerthus, Fro/Freyr and Froja/Freyja, emotions in tact, potential for life, magical workings, personal growth, the basic energy and secret source of organic life, feeling, intuition.

Or 

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, frivolity, immaturity, disconnect with the Inner Self.

Or both

Outcome:  Audie sleeping-in

Lots of online time

When Audie woke up she woke up with a splitting headache

Bank run

Watched a bit of the Barcelona/Naples match on ESPN3.com that my friend in Kiel saw while he was on vacation in Barcelona.  I’m so jealous!  Well, not jealous to the point to be emotional about it, just enough to say I wish I could have been there, too.  Not to mention I wish I could live in Europe.

I tried on my new kilt; weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell…

Audie is really off her center today.

Work went fine.  The mouth was in rare form and was soooooooooooooo close to
receiving my ire.  It was all I could do to keep my emotions in check.

Meeka for a late-night walk.  It always adds a bit more fun when Sockies
follows.

PM Prayer:  The Norns:
The Norns, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urd, Verdandi andSkuld, 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.

8/26/2011

It was simply really fucking hot in the plant.  Going by this lady I know to
be Christian I said a bit casually, “It’s your god that has made it so hot!” 
She responded with “He must think we need it.  If nothing else it will drive you
to pray.”  I responded with “Noooooooo…”  My business done and went back by her
again and she looked at me with folded hands.  “I’ll pray to Odin and Thor
first…” and that started a whole rig-a-maro about my former life as a Christian
and how I should be teaching my Heathen group about the one true god rather than
my “cartoon” gods.  OMGs!  I went livid and she was the recipient of my anger! 
As I threw up my hands to walk away she was shouting at me, “Think about what I
told you!”  Back at my work station, I just couldn’t let this go.  I went back
to her to let her know she deeply offended me.  Long story short: she quickly
apologized.  I accepted her apology.  I told her I’m glad she apologized because
my purpose for coming back was to tell her she owed me an apology and I wasn’t
going to speak to her again until she did so.

Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN/ODIN!! 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! 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!!!

Outcome:  WOW!  A full seven hours of sleep…perfekt!

It’s a peaceful, easy, feeling…wait, there’s a song in that somewhere…

Lazy morn and aft

$13 left over from last week’s grocery/gas budget: Taco Tico http://tacotico.com/ for lunch.  We’ve been very successful at working together on this budget thing!

14:00 and it’s already 102F/39C: SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Work went fine.  Skuttlebutt has really gone wild!  Yesterday, at the All-hands meeting with the CEO, he was specifically asked about the situation with the closing of Plant 1.  Boisture answered the question with, “Plant I will close by the end of the year”.  Tonight at work I heard that the plant manager said with the current workload Plant 1 would remain in operation anywhere from 1-1 ½ years.  Well that really narrows it down!  So my job, according to skuttlebutt, can be eliminated anytime between 4 months and 1 ½ yrs.  Jeez!

Coughing up stuff?  Why am I coughing up stuff?  I don’t feel badly.  From the looks and frequency of this “stuff” it looks like I should feel badly.  How could this have hit so suddenly without any prior symptoms?

MY KILT w/ accessories ARRIVED!!!!!!!

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,

Picture
Fehu (neutral) so it could be either: 
Fehu (U):  Cattle, wealth, Frey; the god of abundance, the ability to create and maintain wealth and the accompanying power, creative forces, Audhumla, fire, new beginnings, productivity, positive energy, life force, self respect, personal power, generosity that needs to come with the social responsibility of wealth. 

Or 

Fehu (R): The negative blessing of prosperity, lack of creative energies, productivity failure, and the inability to and/or create wealth, greed, disconnected from the life source, fear of failure, an unfortunate condition, fiery powers extinguished, lack of self esteem, an ineffective beginning and a misuse of power.

Or both

 And 


Picture
Laguz (U): A body of water, life ever-flowing; seen and unseen, the leek (a
healing herb) the feminine, Nirdu/Njord, Nerthus, Fro/Freyr and
Froja/Freyja, emotions in tact, potential for life, magical workings, personal growth, the basic energy and secret source of organic life, feeling, intuition.


Outcome:  ?????????

 When I got up @ 08:30 Audie was already cooking lunch.  In an effort to stay out of her way I thought I would make the sacrifice and get McDs for breakfast…LOL…

 Finished yard

 Collected recyclables 

When I take in the recyclables http://recyclewichita.org/  it’s just an automatic thing to
check their give-away-books.  I came home with a butt-load of books for Audie!  Free: ya just can’t beat the price!

 Work went fine.  Tonight there was an all-hands meeting at the beginning of shift.  I sat with my brother.  It was an almost two-hour meeting with Bill Boister
(http://www.hawkerbeechcraft.com/about_us/content_view.aspx?executives=1&id=23).
 Out of all the good and bad things that were covered, the one thing that stuck with me was the fact of Plant 1 closing by year’s end.  Now that’s what I call a negative blessing of prosperity (Fehu R) that can open a door for personal growth (Laguz U).  Later during shift I had a hot burr fly right into my eye.  DAMN THAT HURTS!  I thought I got it but it was suggested I go to the nurse’s station to make sure it was out.  She flooded my eye with wash and it came right out!

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!!

AM Rune:  Raido neutral, so it could be either
Raido (U): Wheel, horse transportation, riding, ordered/rhythmic movement, a journey, wise counsel, the law of the cosmic right, freedom and moral responsibility of the Self, ordered change, ethical conduct, personal discipline, to be in charge of one’s own journey in life, the proper course of faring, progress.

Or

Raido (R): Spinning one’s wheels, lack of movement, unwise counsel, a breakdown in (divine) order, upsetting the cart, wrong action and disorder, the opposite of that which is right, off the proper course, slow motion, without a sense of purpose, personal irresponsibility, void of progress or proper perspective.

Or both

Outcome:  WOW!  I’m having a hard time motivating to get out and finish the yard.  I used to like yard work, but as I got older the interest has faded.

Okay, I’m motivated, the discipline is there, but now it’s sprinkling a bit; nonetheless, I’M ON THE YARD!  I got about 2/3 of the back yard done and the rain was a bit too much; rain, electric mowers and power chords make for a dangerous mix!  There’s no purpose for mowing now with the rain.  DAMN, discipline (Raido U) turned into a breakdown of order (Raido R).  See how the Runes work?

I’ve checked the bank balance and there’s enough money at the
end…of…ummm…mid-week; off to Lowe’s http://www.lowes.com/ for trimming line.

12:00 and Audie is still asleep?  Well, I know she was awake at 03:00 when I got up to potty so it’s no surprise she’s sleeping in a bit.  Lunch is on me so I made pancakes, sausage and scrambled eggs; enough more me, Audie and an extra pancake for Meeka!

Work went fine.

Exhausted

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 thesea 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 striveon despite the swells and swirls of fate. HAIL AEGIR and RAN/EGER UND RHANA!!
