Plans: dunno…
Note: NINE HOURS of sleep last night; interspersed with an occasional bathroom run and blowing of the nose; yet, was able to get back to sleep quickly.
*I’m sold on my new cold regimen; zinc coupled with Alka-Seltzer cold and Alka-Seltzer night.
All-Father God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN!! Son to
Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-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! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

A seventh I know: if I see a hall
high o'er the bench-mates blazing,
flame it ne'er so fiercely I still can save it, --
I know how to sing that song.
Interpretation: Whatever issues I have with home and heritage (Othilla) are settled by the All-Mother (Hagal).
Outcome: GODS I didn’t feel like taking Toby for his walk, but I did. All I wanted to do was the .6 mile walk. Toby seemed okay with that.
Right there. RIGHT THERE is the reason I hesitate to let Essie outside. Fat-Cat was hanging out in the neighbor’s backyard. Toby let him know his displeasure. Fat-Cat is a bully of a tom-cat.
Late-morning nap; I must still be sick. I don’t know the last time I had to take a nap late morning.
WOW! I wake up to news of a standoff at an old neighborhood (Central and Meridian) as well as furloughs coming at an old employer http://www.hawkerbeechcraft.com/
Separated recyclables
While separating recyclables, once again Toby sniffed out an oddity. He found a squirrel with its head stuck in a paper tube of some kind. I tried to help it. I had out my ladder, swimming pool net, and a towel. It KIND OF seemed like it wanted me to help it but kind of not. I came so close to getting a hold of it when it shimmied WAY up in the tree.
Ugh…sick at home (Othilla)…yes, but All-Mother (Hagal) is there!
Long-bearded god; son of Wodan and Frija; husband of Ostara; you’re the god of poetry and eloquence; the adherent god of skalds. You have the Runes carved
on your tongue. Your inspiration is enhanced by a drink from the glorious mead. Our oath to you, as we partake upon your silver cup called Bregofull; we swear our never-ending faith and allegiance to the gods and ways of our ancestors. We stand firm with them as we live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, BREGO, as we honor the Brego that resides in us all!
