AM Prayer: Manostac/Monday, we pray to Mano, male aspect and god of the

Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver
messenger on high.  You’re the measurer and teller of time.  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 let us see the
goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives.  WE
GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!

Good AM work.  Sickness gone.

Home for lunch.  Socks was a bit undecided whether he wanted to in or out as
I was trying to leave.  He almost made me late back to work.

Good PM work.  Hair cut and beard trim were met with rave reviews.

Toby for a short walk.  Essie on tether.

I have everything set in my garden where I want them.  My plan is six tomato
plants, six pepper plants, four short rows of peas and however I can work in
some beets.  

My Pocket Havamal from Amazon.com showed up today!  Now all that’s left to
arrive is my snake shirt for Patrick’s Day.

When I saw Orange and White Kitty on the porch I quickly went to the back
yard to cover up the access way that has been opened up at the bottom of the
back porch thanks to Toby’s incessant digging.  Poor Orange and Whit Kitty will
just have to find another place to stay.

Somewhat disturbing phone call from OKC, but everything’s fine now.

Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes.

Plans: DAY OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOTES: Poor Socks was out all night while I was “sleeping it off”…hehe

EVERY MORNING now, I wake up with no grip in my left hand; the hand I mostly
use for the pneumatic tools a work.  A bit of stretching improves it some.

Infiltration of the HCWw by another group that makes fun of other
groups…JEEZ…but we, the administrators, are fighting back by banning them. 

AM Prayer: AM Prayer: Saturn’s Day/Saturday/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit, we pray
to Frouwa and Ing-Frô :
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!

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!

I exhausted all of my prescriptions today; hence, today, I am w/o protection (Algiz) and I am calm (Not).  In a way, I intend to rid my body of any effect of medicine prior to my doctor’s visit coming up next month in an effort to have blood work done with a clean slate.

Toby for his late morning .6 mile walk.  Neither Essie nor Socks were interested in outside.

Got two tickets to the Crown Uptown Dinner Theater’s final showing, of “Godspell” on Feb 22nd http://www.crownuptown.com/ 

I had to make my sincere apology to the Heathen Community World-wide:
“I owe this community a HUGE apology. I acted hastily when I heard that
someone in this group who also belonged to another group, was taking our posts
and making fun of them on the other group. With that, I started removing anyone
associated with the group, Do You Even Heathen, bro? I am now trying to work
with the other moderators in trying to fix what I screwed up. Again, I
APOLOGIZE.”
*Algiz and Not right here!
*wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeew…
*JsMrFnChst!  It just went on and on and on…

Ya know, I spend a lot of time on the Internet.  Sometimes, like today, I REALLY wonder why.  Then I remind myself of a simple goal set so long ago; that is, for my words to live on long after I pass on to the Ancestors.  There is no better place to do that than the Internet.  I’m sure the memory of me will live on with family, nieces and nephews; possibly even great-nieces and great-nephews.  Beyond that, any memory of me will fade with the shades of time.  To most people, that would be good enough.  Not for me.  On the Internet, time does not fade one’s words or thoughts.  Placed on the Internet, these things are as permanent as the stones at Stonehenge.  THAT’S what I want.  Memory of me will pass.  My ashes may be tossed to the four winds.  My words, thoughts, and
beliefs will go on forever.  Someone will find them on the  Internet.  Hopefully someone will see that I have tried to live an honorable life as possible; not a perfect one, but one that has been honest and heart-felt.  On the Internet I place my eternal being.

With the sudden rush of cats hanging around, and the recycling bins the target of setting territory, I had to rearrange the outdoor recycling area.  I had to pull the bins off from the ground, put them on a table and cover it with vinyl.  We’ll see how it works.

OMGs!  I left Essie alone on her tether without my protection!  I go out to check on her and I see the ODDEST situation.  Essie, calm, on the porch and off her tether.  Socks and FAT CAT nearby, calm as well.  Was Socks keeping Fat Cat away from Essie.  I have to think so.
*Algiz and not right here, too.

OMGs!  The Bundesliga is back on: http://www.bundesliga.com/en/

Braunschweig v Hamburg 4:2
Dortmund v Frankfurt 4:0
Bremen v M’Gladbach 1:1

PM Prayer: Saga, you’re the goddess of history; part and parcel of our ever expanding past.  Whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories.  Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come.  Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull.  For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will some day have to deal with our spiritual debt.  We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all
that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.

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!

Outcome: SLEPT-IN!!!!!!!

Toby on his 1-mile walk.  I didn’t see that cat.  Mr. Opportunist saw it
though and was off like a rocket!  Calling him back, Sir Toby had reposed and
was very contrite.  He sat right in front of me and took his verbal berating. 
He was so funny I couldn’t hardly finish it.  We finished the walk in fine fashion.

Essie on tether.

Family front yard time

It’s too nice for late January.

WOW!  European “Mini” Football:

Toby’s out back.  Socks is in the Cat House.  Essie’s on her tether.  I’M
ALONE INSIDE!

Online literally all morning…

It’s such a nice day and it’s going to turn bitterly cold again so I wanted to get outside for a while.  I took Toby to Lake Afton http://www.sedgwickcounty.org/lake_afton/; it’s something like 20-30 min outside Wichita.  It’s nothing large but easily accessible.  We spent a couple of hours checking out different areas, letting Toby do what dogs do naturally.  The best place was Cottonwood Grove; somewhat secluded with a good view and a viable exit if needed.  I think Toby really enjoyed himself, wore him out, though.  He could not easily tear himself away from the shoreline, but he minded very well the whole time.

 Trip to Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, picked up an application, went home,
filled it out and returned it after lunch.

It’s mid-morning, since I was in the area I stopped by my childhood church http://lorraineavenue.ks.us.mennonite.net/.  I haven’t talked to Tom or Lois for a long time…damn the good
luck…no one came to the door.

On the way home I stopped off at my veterinarian’s to discuss Toby’s
persistent scratching.  I told him, Toby doesn’t have fleas, I’ve checked him,
and he’s not airborne allergic, because he hasn‘t responded to the Benadryl.  We
both agreed on food allergies.  My veterinarian GAVE me a 10-day Rx and a recipe
to try for two-weeks before I go out to buy hypoallergenic dog-food.

Late evening check on Socks.  I got a wild hair and decided to lie down on
the carpeted floor with him.  As soon as he settled down he settled in to
curling up next to me.  OMGs, how long has it been since he and I have done
that?  He let me scratch his tummy for the longest time.  I think I even fell
asleep for a minute or two.

Interpretation: Stress (Eihwaz) as the way of things (Not).

Outcome: Essie on tether first thing this morning. 

Mowed fore-half of yard.

I’ve never really had problems with Toby being left alone, until lately. 
Today, while mowing the yard, I found he had wandered off.  First, I called for
him around the yard.  Second, I got in the car heading West.  Third, I headed
East and found him strolling along the sidewalk on McCormick Street.  I almost
laughed so hard.  A guy on the other side of McCormick, familiar with Toby and
me on the walk rout, hollered at me, “I wondered where you were.”  I just
shrugged.  No sense getting angry at Toby.  I was the one who left the gate WIDE
open for mowing.

Mowed hind-half of yard.

To Wal-Mart for oil stuff and a couple of pet items.

To brothers for oil change.  Sometimes, even in his kindness, my brother can
be a bit trying (Eihwaz), and that’s putting it as kindly as I can.  It’s just
the way he is (Not).

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.

Interpretation: Poverty (Fehu) but be calm (Not).

Outcome: I wonder if this is reflecting how I feel about Cox machine?

64F/18C?  I took advantage of this and took Toby on the full one mile.

Cox Machine hired me on the spot!  I start Monday.  $12 hr, not great, but it can only go up from there.
*Fehu and Not right here!

Called TAA rep to let her know of having to change class schedules.

Hung around WATC campus to get signatures.  As my instructor was suddenly unavailable (out to lunch or tending to NIMMS certification…whatever), the dean of the dept. signed my papers!

Came home to make an appointment with the Arnold group for paper work; today @ 3:30.

Called Cox Machine to make an early appointment to complete internship papers.

Paper work AND test at the Arnold group?  WTF?

While family is happy I got the job, they know I’m cautious about it.

WOW!  Serious clouds and weather moving into Wichita.  We've had some good storms, but nothing like what could be in THESE clouds.

JsMrFnChst!  That came on quickly; serious thunder, lightening and downpour!  Socks is safe in the Haruc, Essie is hiding deep and Toby is close by my side.

Early to bed to test the alarm clock.  Hey, I haven’t used it in YEARS!

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!
