NOTE: 49F/9C…now it’s getting there!

*Essie on her tether @ dawn.  FINALLY, I see the attitude in her I’ve been wanting to see.  Squish, cat from across the street, once again decided to come over.  Essie was at the end of her tether, ready to challenge him.  He tried to sidestep her, but Essie matched his movement.  Nose to nose, Squish voiced his uncomfortable-ness.  Essie let him know SHE was uncomfortable with it too by taking a WHACK at him AND staying upright on her feet!  THAT’S MY GIRL!

Plans: clean house

AM Prayer: Sunnastac/Sunday, we pray to Sunna, goddess of the Sun:

Share with us some of your light, your energy, your power, so that we might better fight our battles and attain our goals. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL SUNNA, as we honor the Sunna that resides in us all!

Essie has yet to figure out what to do with a mouse other than it being a play-toy for her.  Twice she had a mouse in her mouth, twice it either got away or she let it get away, only to continue the chase.  Hopefully one day she’ll get the hang of it.

Off to a few of the neighborhood Pizza Huts to check on my possibilities of a driver position.  Two were favorable.  I still have my fingers and toes crossed.

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 HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!

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.

Well hel, Essie once again wiggled out from her harness.  I already had to snug it up once so I had to snug it up again.  I’m too much of a nice guy and don’t want her harness to hurt her.

My visit with the Veterans Rep at the Workforce Center was marginal.  Only time will tell if it was beneficial.

Looked for work extensively…ARGH!!!!!

I tried to go to the Runes to help me figure this shit out, but I didn’t have it in me for an interpretation.  I’m just starting to fall apart.

Worked on resumes and uploaded new ones onto kansasworks.com.

I don’t anticipate anything coming for the evening but for my book: “The Pale Horseman” by Bernard Cornwell http://www.bernardcornwell.net/books/the-pale-horseman-2/ 

I’m counting on Ehwaz and Sig working in the background because I certainly don’t SEE it.

Well hel…some online counseling popped up…LOVE IT!

Family front yard time at sunset.  I'm telling ya, Socks and Essie with their PDA...cute!  Toby's tail was just a-waggling...he's a happy dog. 

It should storm tonight.  I physically placed Socks in the Hof for his own protection.

My WONDERFUL niece called me telling me about another local aerospace company of which I have never heard: UTC Aerospace Systems http://utcaerospacesystems.com/Company/Pages/company.aspx

The Arnold Group finally returned my call.  I approved the horrible job prospect.  Hopefully RTAA will make up the difference like they’ve said they would. It’s the only way I can justify taking it.

Oh my…I received a VERY encouraging email from JL!!!!!!!!

Burger King http://www.bk.com/ had to try their “Satis-fries”.  Whether or not their claim is legit, who knows?  It was enough to get me to try them: damned good!

Separated recyclables and took them in to http://www.recyclewichita.org/ 

There’s a black German Shepherd I’ve taken upon myself to visit every chance I can.  I know his Mexican owners don’t give a shit about him as I have NEVER seen them interact with the dog.  I know his name is Blacky.  I know they have painted their house and are redoing the front porch, I just haven’t seen Blacky since the beginning of the project.  MAJORLY concerned I finally made my way in the back corner of the yard where I believe Blacky to be.  WHEW…at least he was alive and seemingly doing okay.  He’s always glad to see me and I him.

Sunset family front  yard time.  Again, the PDA that goes on between Essie and Socks is enough to melt my little pea-pickin’ heart.  It’s just so damned cute.

Made plans to go to the Wichita Flight Festival http://wichitaflightfestival.com/ this weekend with my niece!  This looks like such fun!

Got back into my book “The Pale Horseman” by Bernard Cornwell http://www.bernardcornwell.net/books/the-pale-horseman-2/  It’s off to a good start.

PM Prayer: 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 HEIL, WULDAR, as we honor the Wuldar that resides in all of us!

2nd breakfast…McDs, AND I took Toby with me.

On to mowing the yard.  Front done and trimmed.  Half the back done.

I think the interview with Spirit Aerospace went well.  I always interview well.  Unexpectedly, he asked a few practical application questions.  I didn’t get the first one but I know I nailed the next two.  Towards the end of the interview, I asked to revisit the first question; THEN I nailed it.  It was a very pleasant interview.

Could this be my Gebo?  WOW if it is!

Talking to The Arnold Group http://www.the-arnold-group.com/ wasn’t necessarily a bust, but nothing promising either.  Only one job looked halfway appealing; substandard wages but with at least five hours overtime each week.  We’ll see.  I also asked about the results of those silly little tests I took for them at the beginning of my association with them.  All were better than 90% with one at 100%.  So, at least I’m marketable for them.

Guide and guard your North Folk as you did in ages past. Wodan, give wisdom and craft to wits shaped by ice and fire that our foes be foxed. Donar, give us strength and the will to use it. Ing-Fro and Frouwa, 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: Frijastac/Friday, we pray to Frija:
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 HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!

Contacted LSI about possible jobs.

Arnold Group to p/u check
Bank
FedEx Kinko’s for copies

YEEHAW!  I’m getting back pay from my RTAA/unemployment benefits as my wages from Cox have been determined as part of my schooling, so I get BOTH wages from Cox AND unemployment.

Jera and Tyr right here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now the RTAA will continue for a while longer.  RTAA pays 50% of the difference between what I was making at Beechcraft and what ever job I have.  It’s limited, but I’ll take advantage of whatever I can get from the government. 
 
McDs for an early lunch

Bank
Dillon’s petrol
Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market
Aldi’s
Brenneman’s liquor

Job search

Contacted Veterans Rep at the Workforce Center; made an appointment for next week.

The Arnold Group called, letting me know that Cox Machine doesn’t want me to return.  No reasons were given, but I knew this would happen soon enough.

I think this is Jera’s dark side, yet with my head held high.

I’ve decided to go ahead with the OKC trip.  I could really use it now.

Two loads of laundry

Light house cleaning

Ready to go!

PM Prayer: Forsizo; Heil to you, 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 just, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is
fraudulent, mete-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 HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!

(Skeidentimond = Summer’s End month)

Plans: work

AM Prayer: Donarstac/Thursday, we pray to Donar:
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, encourage us to advance.
When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

No Runes were drawn

Outcome: I’m just not doing well at Cox Machine.  I’ve been there 5 wks and I continue to fuck things up.  Kit’s all very depressing.  Maybe I have to admit I JUST SUCK AT THIS!  Perhaps my agreeing to this in the first place, and hence, effort at WATC was a waste of my time.

Donar ROARS in Wichita!

I barely had a chance to park my ass when my nephew dropped by to pick up the garden harvest I offered him and his family.

It seems I have people upset at me because I don’t want to go to OKC on Friday.  I would much rather go, if I go at all, on Saturday.  I have too many things to do on Friday that can’t be done otherwise:
P/u paycheck
Trip to the bank
RTAA paperwork
Talk to both TAA and RTA reps for, hopefully, additional funding

WHAT?  Sock came inside?  Even though it was for a bit, still, it was odd for him.  Soon enough he was ready to go back outside in the rain.

Brother called and is need of my assistance tomorrow.

Not in a good mood at all.

PM Prayer: Die Wurtâ :
Die
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 die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
