Plans: class
NOTE: Still no sign of Socks this morning. I shed tears as I type this. Ya know, both Socks and Fish were here because of A_. A_ gone, Fish and Socks gone. Fish was the first to abandon me for a neighbor. Perhaps it’s only right that Socks abandons me, too. Nonetheless, it hurts me to look out the door hoping Socks would be on the porch in his chair; seeing nothing. I know Essie and Toby miss him, too.
*Crying is no way to start a day…
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. Keep us mindful of our duties, and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

A twelfth I know: if I see in a tree
a corpse from a halter hanging,
such spells I write, and paint in runes,
that the being descends and speaks.
Outcome: So then, where’s my Socks?
Toby was well behaved as we went on a bit extended walk scouring the neighborhoods looking for Socks.
Machining was…well, kind of a fuck off time. The instructor disappeared and there were so many questions. CATIA…well…
On the way home I made a trip around the neighborhood looking for Socks.
Mileage check showed up so a trip to the bank https://www.emprisebank.com/ was in order.

Man, how long has it been since I made homemade
french-fries? Hotdogs with two potatoes cut-up to fry; it just doesn’t get any
better than that!
Tether time for Essie, family time for us all.
Again, still no sign of Socks. I look at his world on the porch and it saddens me that I may have to give-in to the fact that he’s gone. It also saddens me when Essie just looks out into the darkness; either behind the storm door or on the tether, presumably looking for Socks; even more so when she goes to the last place he marked. In my mind I think it was pretty damned selfish of him to run off…I dunno…
Blameless Paltar, 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 HAIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!
