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.
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!!!

Advice on how to spend the day
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.

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!
