I guess Audie had quite the girl-fest over here this evening and it was a rousing success. Again I'm reminded this would not have been possible a little over a year ago. It's a continuing reminder of how far she's come.

(Aranmond = Harvest Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) Plans: work 2nd shift 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!! 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 AM Rune: Hagalaz (irreversible): The cosmic seed of potential, a sacred enclosure/shell, shaping, evolution, protection within, holiness, destruction/regeneration, evolution, destructive elements, unavoidable unpleasantness, seek shelter and ride it out, potentially destructive but change will occur on its own given time. Outcome: Errands: *Dillons grocery (we did very well on groceries and still have $30 left in the grocery budget) *Dillons Rx *Liquor (doing this differently; 18 pack for Audie and friends, six pack for me with strict off-limits rules) Found out a Kindred member has some serious issues: no details shared (Hagalaz could REALLY play out right here). I had to put on my public ministerial face today, and I do it so well! Audie was a real trooper helping me to get ready; looking my best. Work went fine. We finally got some work in from Capps. Meeka for a late-night walk. DAMN: Meeka Park is locked up again! 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!! PM Rune: none Comments: cared for animals, Meeka inside Alaf Sal Fena! (Aranmond = Harvest Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) Plans: work 2nd shift NOTE: WOW! It must’ve rained all night and continues this morning. It’s a very cool morning, cool enough to turn of the a/c and open windows. AM Prayer: Wednesday, Wodanstag, we pray to Wodan/Odin, lighting a blue candle: 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!!! 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 AM Rune: Algiz (neutral) So it could be either Algiz (U): Protection, Heimo/Heimdall (the genetic connection between gods and the Folk), guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, protection, expansion of consciousness, divine realizations, an awakening, drawing on the natural Will, invocation/supplication to the gods, AKA Elhaz, the Elk, or swan. Or Algiz (R): Outside the favor of Heimo/Heimdall, failure to integrate humanity with the Divine without divine protection, possible dangers lurking, lack of preparedness, without the need for protection, the inability to see/understand/connect with what‘s coming, an aspect of death, void of the power of the Elk. Or both… Outcome: We’ll see… FINALLY got in for a haircut from my regular stylist! Came home to find out Audie had a seizure while I was gone. DAMN! She hasn’t had one of those for a while. Luckily she has a much better handle on these and how to handle them. LOTS of International Friendlies today! Two specifically of interest: Germany 2:0 Brazil (yesssssssssssssss…) http://www.bundesliga.com/en/liga/news/2010/index.php?f=0000189973.php USA 1:1 Mexico (debut of Jergen Klinsman as coach)(not a bad 1st showing, Coach!) http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2011-08-10-usa-vs-mexico/recap http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/08/11/grin-under-klinsmanns-new-usa-regime http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1484897/index.html Other friendlies: Ukraine v Sweden France v Chili Austria v Slovakia Ireland v Croatia Wales v Australia Norway v Czech Republic Work went fine. While at work I called Audie during dinner break. I know she always hates my haircuts because I prefer the military look. I offered to pay for HER a haircut so I can hate IT. All in fun, of course, but I’m serious about paying for her cut. Meeka for a night-time walk. MEEKA PARK WAS OPEN for the first time this summer! She definitely took advantage of it and started her running fits! They’re always a hoot to watch. Nice cool evening: 72F/22C! HAIL HEIMDALL AND THE ALGIZ RUNE! 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!! PM Rune: none Comments: cared for animals, Meeka inside Alaf Sal Fena! (Aranmond = Harvest Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) Plans: 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!! 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 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, frivolity, immaturity, disconnect with the Inner Self. Outcome: This reemphasizes what I was feeling yesterday; especially the disconnect. Audie back to bed early Online time I officially changed my middle Heathen name from Yngvi to Ingwald; still keeping with the honoring of my god Frey, and an effort to honor my believed and beloved Saxon heritage. Vaygar will stay, Elmersson (son of Elmer) will always stay. Vaygar Ingwald Elmersson…I like it! Is this what has been waiting to be born in me? Is this why I’ve been unsettled the last couple of days? Surprisingly enough, I AM feeling better. Tried to call my stylist for a cut. She has yet to respond. I haven’t seen her for several months now. The last time I heard anything from her she had a hysterectomy. I’m wondering if she’s still cutting hair at all. I have a contingency plan in place if she isn’t. She called back...everything's fine! Cut up some really WONDERFUL smelling cantaloupe! GODS I love my produce. Work went pretty well. I turned down overtime to work on the yard and meet with Kindred this weekend. On the way home I drove in cool temps, light rain, a bit of lightening and thunder: PERFEKT! It was nice!!!!!!!!! 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!!! PM Rune: none Comments: cared for animals, Meeka inside Alaf Sal Fena! (Aranmond = Harvest Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) Plans: work 2nd shift NOTE: It’s a very nice and cool (relatively speaking) morning! It’s overcast with a bit of rain and 70F/21C @ 9:30; it hasn’t been this nice in…I don’t know how long! AM Prayer: Monday, Day of the Moon/Tag der Mondes, we pray to Mano/Manni, god of the moon, 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 AM Rune: Wunjo (R): Sadness, disruption in the Clanic relationship, questionable social contacts, loser, miserable, loneliness, shunning, weakened family ties, social and domestic disharmony, the inability to attain a wish, strife, alienation, failed social relationships, Fridu/Frith is challenged, the shadow side of Wodan/Odin. Outcome: Some mixed emotions with this one. If it wasn’t for my ability to manage what money I have things would be in a much sadder state financially. My brother borrowed some money yesterday (amazingly soon so shortly after payday) and today it’s necessary to go beyond the grocery budget to get some things Audie needs to make a cake order. Quick trip to the store for Audie’s cake needs. It would be so nice to hang on to the cool weather but I know it’s only for this morning. By the time I go to work later this afternoon it will probably be steamy! Back to the store for an overdue sympathy card, then off to the post office. I’m going to post this onto my Facebook page to get some input: After thirteen years of involvement in Heathenry three things have changed for me: 1) Vanatru more than Asatru 2) Discovered German Saxon connection 3) Member of Irminenschaft With this in mind someone suggested that I ditch the Iceland sounding name for one more Saxon. I think he might have a point; hence, I’m asking Facebook for input. Should I (a) Stay with Vaygar Yngvi Elmersson Or (b) Begin the switch to Frithstan Ingwald Elmersson Or, (c) Come clean with and use my birth name, Caroll D. Reimer Hm...absolutely no response to this on Facebook: sad… Work went fine. Even after “the boys’ kissed and made-up “the mouth” wasn’t very mouthy this evening. I’m thinking it may have something to do with the return of “the lone wolf“. “The mouth” may have apologized to “J-bird” but not to “the lone wolf“. I doubt the lone wolf would accept; hence, the caution. No doubt the mouth still feels a bit alienated. WOW! It has been a wonderful moderate day temp-wise. Definitely not the sad 100F/38C+ days we have experienced too many times this summer. Hel, even the fans at work were doing their job in actually blowing some cool air rather than simply move hot air. There’s something going on inside me but I’m not quite sure what it is. Is it a feeling of needing something more? Is it a severe feeling of inadequacy? Is it feeling like something is about to happen or birth itself? Is it simple boredom, ready to emerge from summer hibernation? Dunno… 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!! PM Rune: none Comments: cared for animals, Meeka inside Alaf Sal Fena! (Aranmond = Harvest Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) Plans: more tree limb removal, work 2nd shift AM Prayer: Sunday/Sonnestag, 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!! Rune Summons Born of fire, born of ic Life is lived at such a price Holy Runes send my way Advice on how to spend the day AM Rune: Dagaz (irreversible): Light of day, total enlightenment, awakening, the AH-HA moment, achieving balance, harmony, positive focus on life, light at the end of the tunnel, increase, growth, an ending prior to a beginning, transformation, possibly related to the 3rd eye (the place where the two lobes of the brain join). Outcome: Smiles… First thing this morning Audie tells me of a conversation with a neighbor about a guy jumping fences; checking out storage buildings. The neighbor also has pictures of the guy and supposedly turned them into the authorities. I checked all of my out-buildings and all seems in order. Off to Walmart for dog food and a birthday gift for my great nephew. No sign of my brother… When I went to investigate what it’s going to take to deal with the tree limb that fell into the neighbor’s yard a had a real AH-HA moment. She has poison ivy growing REALLY close to where the limb is so I’m going to have to be VERY CAREFUL in dealing with this! My brother showed up just prior to going to work. He said he would take care of the limb… “The boys” kissed and made up. It certainly didn’t take long for the mouth to come back; so it’s back to that again, Mr. Mouth and his wigger stupidity. My brother is good for his word! I would’ve hated to be rummaging around that poison ivy. 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!! PM Rune: none Comments: cared for animals, Meeka inside Alaf Sal Fena! (Aranmond = Harvest Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) Plans: Union vote, work 2nd shift 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 Ing 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!! 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!! 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 AM Rune: Naudiz (Irreversible): The Rune of Need (whether physical, emotional, spiritual), a Norn Rune, force friction, a stress indicator, opportunity for change, urgency, a generating force for the greater good, friction, transformation, resistance leading to strength, an evolutionary change toward a more holistic state, Fate. Outcome: My brother and I went to the Union vote first thing this morning. It was poorly attended. The mood was very conciliatory. There was no fire in the belly; unlike the vote three years ago. I’m not quite sure how things will change, but hopefully for the good. After the vote I picked up my bottle of mead to celebrate national Mead Day when I get off work! My event on Facebook has been a rousing success! As of 12 noon the count is 3,062 people saying they will observe the event! LOVE IT! This is no way to go to work…peeved… Nah, she wouldn’t have done that, would she? Work went fine; the stalemate between “the boys” continues with a possible breakdown in defenses from one. The contract vote between the Machinists and Hawker Beechcraft was approved with 69% voting to accept. To accept the contract it took 50% plus one; to strike it would take a 2/3 vote. Two votes actually happened earlier today. One slip was to accept the contract another slip to approve a strike. A strike was easily avoided. Votes like this are always stressful, but approving this, I think, is a good step forward! Final count for the 1st Annual National Mead Day: 3,084! Meeka for a quick night-time walk MLS Matches http://www.mlssoccer.com/ DC 3:3 Toronto New England 2:3 Chivas Philly 1:1 Houston Sporting Kansas City 1:2 Seattle (DAMN) http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2011-08-06-sporting-kansas-city-vs-seattle-sounders-fc/recap Salt Lake 3:0 NY (hehe…) LA 3:1 Dallas San Jose 1:1 Portland 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. PALTAR/BALDR HAIL! PM Rune: none Comments: cared for animals, Meeka inside Alaf Sal Fena! (Aranmond = Harvest Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) Plans: trees, work 2nd shift AM Prayer: Friday, Friggastag, we pray to Frija/Frigga, Walburga Frouwa/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!! 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!!

Outcome: HEL YEAH!!!!!!!!! Was able to pull tree limbs away from the porch; moved other limbs in a more concentrated around the front end of the driveway. Contacted brother; he will help as he can. JsMrFnChst it sure didn’t take long and I was pooped-out! Paid utility bills Audie to COMCARE to pick up Rx On the way back we saw City workers picking up tree limbs felled from the storm. I pulled up and said, too bad you guys can’t pick up from yards. They said all I had to do was pull my limbs to the curb and they would get them. THURISAZ (self-empowerment) QUICKLY KICKED IN!!! What took me about an hour earlier to clean away from the driveway took but a few minutes to pull everything back to the curb for their access! This effort was a huge SOWULO (success) thanks to the City! Work went fine; no shenanigans! It’s National Mead Day! There are 3,016 people who have signed onto my Facebook event! THREE THOUSAND SIXTEEN!!!!!!!!!!! Who would have ever thunk it? HAIL SOWULO! HAIL THURISAZ! 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! PM Rune: none Comments: cared for animals, Meeka inside Alaf Sal Fena! (Aranmond = Harvest Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) Plans: Audie to plasma, examine damage, work 2nd shift 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!! 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 AM Rune: two Runes Othilla (neutral) so it could be either Othilla (U): Home and heritage (spiritual or physical), family, the home within, nobility, the sacred enclosure, spiritual heritage, true kinship; genetic, cultural and spiritual inheritance, loyalty to family - tribe or village, group prosperity, order, interaction, or freedom, union/connection with the family of humankind. Or Othilla (R): Problems in relating to home - heritage - spiritual heritage, and ancestors; Family difficulties, difficulties at home, shunning, unbalanced kinship, genetic disconnection, disruption of family ties - race - culture and the environment, racialism, alienated/disconnected with the family of humankind. Or both And Uruz (R): A weakened position, deprivation, depletion of energy, out of sync, an impulse towards inaction, a severe lack of foundation and energy at low levels, reduction, elasticity, uncontrolled rage, without the will to survive, taking no risks at this time, weakness, illness, the inability to overcome obstacles. Outcome: Audie couldn’t do the plasma thing today because of the bruising she took last time. Well, the trees really took a beating from last night‘s storm. At least there doesn’t seem to be any damage to the house. The limb blocking the porch is HUGE and the tear on the tree is so large I can see where it came from. Another large limb fell onto the neighbors back yard. The are more felled tree limbs farther in the back yard. This is going to take a while to clean up. I’ll have to enlist the help of my brother, it seems. WHEW! Othilla and Uruz…yeah… Late start on a grocery excursion. As there was some money left over from last week’s grocery budget AND gas budget I added about thirty dollars to this week’s grocery budget. I suggested to Audie she go crazy in the meat department. She was more than glad to do so! It’s so funny; I go nuts in the produce department and she goes nuts in the meat department. Between the two of us, we’re well fed! Late start on grocery leads to a late lunch at McDs! OMGs! What happened to the afternoon? Work went fine; that is, until one of “the boys” became hostile which equated to the other boy becoming equally hostile and one continued to take his hostility out on the lone wolf across the isle. This is the ugliest I’ve seen things in that shop. When someone doesn’t know when to quit, things can quickly escalate. I just wonder how things will pan-out tomorrow. 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. PM Rune: none Comments: cared for animals, Meeka inside Alaf Sal Fena! (Aranmond = Harvest Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE) Plans: work 2nd shift AM Prayer: Wednesday, Wodanstag, we pray to Wodan/Odin, lighting a blue candle: 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!!! 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 AM Rune: Pertho (R): The presence of negative Wyrd, 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. Outcome: WTF? During breakfast Audie was feeling a bit “out of touch”, so she went back to bed. Two great phone calls: (1) The President of the I/G to discuss how my office of secretary/treasurer was going to work. He also answered several questions I had about the I/G faith system. (2) My brother called to discuss the company’s contract offer. I told him when it comes to a vote of Union membership this Saturday I would vote to accept it, and that I would vote to accept it even if I was guaranteed a job for the life of the 5-yr contract; however, I’m not guaranteed a job past next week. I’m thinking he‘ll vote to accept it, too. We both work at the same employer. Several things happened at work: *I was entrusted with the combination to the ice locker. That may not seem like much, but lemme tell ya, people would raid that locker for all the ice they could get if it wasn’t locked up. So for the super to trust me with this combination is really saying something. *The Union gathered all 2nd shift members to let them know about what the upcoming contract will look like if ratified. They are suggesting that the members accept it this time, but take no prisoners next time. *Just before 10PM I noticed a REAL cooling off; and then the STORM HIT! I MEAN A HUGE storm! Rain was coming down in sheets! It certainly cool things off in the plant and we need that rain. OMGs! I came home and couldn’t get too far into the driveway. Tree limbs were down all over my yard because of the storm. One HUGE limb fell so close to the house I couldn’t get onto the porch without wrestling it out of the way. I’ll assess everything tomorrow. Loved the storm, bad luck on the tree limbs. 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!! PM Rune: none Comments: cared for animals, Meeka inside Alaf Sal Fena! |
