September/Skeidentimond 29, 2013 Sunnastac

9/30/2013

0 Comments

 
(Skeidentimond = Summer’s End month)

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:
Greetings to you Sunna, in all your feminine, fertile glory; Lamp of Wodan, newly risen! Hail to you who has shown on all our ancestors, who shines on us, and who will yet 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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL SUNNA, as we honor the Sunna that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Laf: 
Havamal 158.
A fourteenth I sing to the assembled Folk
When naming the divine names;
The Aesir and Alves and their various kinds
No one can spell out without learning.

Determination, Urlag; life fate and destiny, life as law, life following the law, experience, test, temptations by life-circumstances, water, sea, good management, test of life, school of the lives, relations, defeat and the laws of nature, life and primal law, psychic & spiritual awareness, cosmic flow, seeds of thought, the etheric part of the body, initiation that experiences life on earth as a continuous process of initiation, The Cosmic Ocean.

Interpretation: A harvest (Jera) is fated (Laf).

Outcome: Toby FULLY enjoys the cooler weather on his walk, and I have to admit, so do I.
Cleaned house with extra attention given to kitchen and bathroom.

Two loads of laundry

Oh no…I think I’m having hot water heater problems again.  I’ll know more tomorrow.

1. Bundesliga http://www.bundesliga.com/en/ 
Bremen 3:3 Nürnberg
Braunschweig 0:4 Stuttgart

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.

Burger King http://www.bk.com/ for dinner to use my coupon in time.

Phone calls to the Mountain of Hope

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; be our inspiration to
strive on despite the swells and swirls of fate. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, EGER UND RÂ HANA, as we honor the Eger und Râ hana that resides in us all!

AM Prayer: Saturday we pray to Ing-Frô and to Frouwa:
Ing-Frô , you’re the Great God of Fridu (all-encompassing safety and protection), Ar (peace, good seasons), the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the god of this World. 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 HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!
Picture
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 HEIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa that resides in us all!

return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!

This I know as an eleventh, when
I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.

Outcome: It’s been warmer around here lately so I cut Toby’s walk back to .8 of a mile.  Essie on tether.

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.

P/u paycheck from Arnold Group

Bank

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.

PM Prayer: 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 HEIL, OSTARA, as we honor the Ostara that resides in us all!

Toby for his 1mile walk and Essie on her tether.

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!

Right now I don’t feel as if anything is working for me; I mean ANYTHING.  It seems my best efforts are pointless.  I’m just saying…

Trimmed the backyard a bit, but the way-back has to be mowed later this afternoon as it’s still too moist with morning dew.

Job search on kansasworks.com

Well hel!  Back unemployment for 3 wks is in my account
this morning with one more week left to deposit!  This will help me make it thru
October.

Thanks to the harvest (Jera) for the change (Hagal) in my bank account!

Brother in the Mountain of Hope has his job back!

Called Arnold Group and LSI.  I just need SOMETHING right away.

I’m feeling a sense of employment desperation setting in.  I even went out and enrolled in the Senior Employment Program @ Senior Services of Wichita http://www.seniorservicesofwichita.org/

father, Thiazi, grant us the same ferocity in our lives.  Direct us to be strong, able and favored of you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SCATA, as

AM Prayer: Ziustac/Tuesday, we pray to Ziu:
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 our own Fenris.

Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

In sorrow, sickness and pain;
In eternal change, man goes forth

Interpretation: A gift (Gebo) is coming (Fa).  Gods I sure hope so.

Outcome: Toby is more alive in his cooler walk, but he needs to listen to me and not go near the curb.  I made sure to verbally berate severely for deciding to take one step onto the street.

1st breakfast…Malt-o-Meal
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!

Family front yard time just before sunset.

It’s warm in here since I haven’t turned on the a/c today, but it should cool
off well enough overnight with temps getting down into the mid
50sF.

PM Prayer: Paltar, blameless god, gloriously shining god, restoration god, beloved son of Wodan and Frija.  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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!

Outcome: 57F/14C?  You think Toby didn’t enjoy his one mile walk?  HE DID; well, so did I.  Coming home, Essie was loose from her tether, but behaving well on the neighbor’s porch.  She was also kind enough to come toward me when I called.

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.

Three small loads of laundry

In email contact with the Veterans Rep at the Workforce Center.

Contacted HM Dunn Aerospace http://www.hmdunn.com/ (also helped through The Arnold Group) about employment; fingers and toes crossed for good things.

Surprise visit from my sister-in-law and my great-nephew!

Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market
Papa Murphy’s Take-n-Bake Pizza

WOW!  More heated conversation on HCW-w on Facebook.

PM Prayer: 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 A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SIBBA, as we honor the Sibba that resides in us all!

(Skeidentimond = Summer’s End month)

Plans: Home from OKC

AM Prayer: Sunnastac/Sunday, we pray to Sunna, goddess of the Sun:
Greetings to you Sunna, in all your feminine, fertile glory; Lamp of Wodan, newly risen! Hail to you who has shown on all our ancestors, who shines on us, and who will yet 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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL SUNNA, as we honor the Sunna that resides in us all!

Outcome: Home from OKC

WOW!  WOW!  WOW!!  A great time was had by all!  Topping it all off with sumble…PRICELESS!

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, 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!

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.

WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!

Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today


Picture
AM Armanen Rune: Tyr: 
Havamal 156.

The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

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

Picture
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.

Picture
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.
