NOTE: A predawn clearing of snow of important pathways. In spite of the snow
and 20F/-6C temps Socks was ready to come out from the Haruc.
3rd Day of Yule, Remembering the noble virtue of Courage
Courage is definitely an attitude of boldness, however, not the absence of
fear. Courage is the carrying in spite of your fear. It is courage that allows
us to live life in such a manner that we can be proud.
Plans: I know the Reimer reunion is in Hesston today. Not sure if I’m going.
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!

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: Change (Hagalaz) that leads to fate (Laf).
Outcome: Toby had so much fun on his 1-mile walk in the now
winter-wonderland. His energy was boundless; contrast that to wx above 80F/27C
that really drags him down.
I have fully enjoyed JL being here this weekend.
Waffles, eggs and bacon…YUM!
JL home…we made some good strides toward reconnection.

There is no other way to describe my sister’s “birthday party” than
disturbing. The total disrespect shown to my sister by her own daughter was bad
enough with little or no interest in making sure my sister adequately
recognized. Even worse was the ridiculously stupid fucking male conversation.
Why the hel did I even bother? Oh yeah…it was for my sister.
MAN, am I glad I checked on Socks early evening. Earlier this afternoon,
during a mid-day check on Socks, Toby came into the Haruc, too. I pulled up
Sock’s food so Toby wouldn’t be tempted to eat. I forgot to put it back down.
My early evening check showed an antsy Socks! I filled his food and water to
the brim then placed everything back down for him. He’s better.
Okay, calming down…
Over the weekend Essie bonded with JL for the most part, but Essie certainly
was ready to cuddle with me once JL was gone.
I am so sorry for EVER having started sharing my food with Toby. It’s making
this whole detox thing quite a challenge on both ends. He stands at the end of
the kitchen looking so forlorn and it just kills me. There is no way to tell
him I’m doing this for his own good. Toby just knows at one time he got the
chance to lick the plates, but hasn’t done so in a while. There IS evidence
that this is working. Ever since Toby has been on detox, he hasn’t farted.
Believe me, Toby’s farts were HORRIBLE. Even JL noticed the improvement. Come
Monday I need to remember to report this improvement to his veterinary.
