*Family is coming over this afternoon so I did a quick before-the-crack-o-dawn vacuum and light housekeeping. They say I don’t have to do things like that for them. I agree. I WANT to do things like that for them.
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 sixteenth I speak if a maid is reluctant,
To wake her lust and desire;
I change the heart of the delightful woman,
Then to me her wishes turn.

Lemme tell ya what excites me about CNC Lathes class. I MUST be learning something because I am asking very pertinent questions. I was sure I had everything set-up properly but part #3 would not run properly. I took my questions to the instructor and even HE was flustered. I told him about my delight in asking proper questions. He told me that ALL of my questions in class have been appropriate. Eventually, with a flustered instructor on hand, we figured out why the machine was doing what it was doing, I finished part #3 and began inspection. His superficial inspection was favorable and his comment was, “You’re making parts and your consistent.” He might as well have told me I’ll get an “A” in the class that ends this coming Thursday.
I think both Kenaz and Yr played out right here; in that, yes, there was darkness (Kenaz) in understanding, but being well-grounded (Yr) with appropriate questions righted the issue.

My niece and her youngest son came over to give me my testosterone shot. She took it upon herself to get smaller needles for application, rubber gloves and alcohol pads. We had a WONDERFUL visit prior to the shot and a very painless shot.
Every once in a while Toby thinks he hears something out side so he needs to go check on it. I usually oblige him because he usually good about staying on the porch when told. Such was not the case this evening. He saw another dog and took off like a rocket despite my HIGHLY VEHEMENT, STERNLY WORDED voice commands. I kept calling and walking toward him. When he finally started coming back it was the most contrite I have ever seen him. It didn’t matter! He got a SEVERE face-to-face chewing-out!
Man, I’m really tired…
I had a wonderful conversation with the other guy running for the District 4 City Council seat. I think I’ve found the guy I’m gonna support.

HEAR ME HEIMO, Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine
mothers and whitest of all gods. You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard
Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. 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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!
