Plans: class
NOTES: Hmmm…Toby alerted me to emergency vehicles across the street first thing this morning. I know she’s in advanced stages of cancer. I hope she’s okay.
*No classes again today. New blizzard-like conditions moving into the state.
The News is calling this winter storm “The Blizzard of Oz II”.
*I went on a HUGE Herman the German kick this morning

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 HAIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!

Those songs I know, which nor sons of men
nor queen in a king's court knows;
the first is Help which will bring thee help
in all woes and in sorrow and strife.
Interpretation: The challenges of social interaction (Man) will result in a new beginning (Fa).
Outcome: It’s gray, overcast and chilly, but no signs of this major winter storm as of yet.
Today was Toby’s first full one-mile walk since the snow. I think it wore him out having to jump around in it. His first distraction he handled well. He saw it. He froze, and started running towards it. With very sternly worded voice commands he rightly came back. I have no idea what the second distraction was and I don’t think Toby did either; however; he certainly took off like a rocket. Once he finally responded to stern voice commands, which included a return command that told him he was in trouble. He leisurely came back; in no hurry to get his verbal, face-to-face reprimand.
Why haven’t I worn these boots much lately; snow or no snow?
It’s taken all morning but it’s finally started; BRING IT ON, BLIZZARD OF OZ!
Prepared the Haruc for Socks’ possible overnight stay; by that I mean, food, water and litter box.
McDs for lunch; just an excuse to get out in this stuff.
Mensch! It’s REALLY coming down!
Short-lived that it was…1 ½”…that’s all so far.
They say it’s simple physics. A body in motion stays in motion. A body at rest…z-z-z-z-z-z-z…
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 HAIL, OSTARA, as we honor the Ostara that resides in us all!
