NOTE: Donar visited overnight in a HUGE way!
*Snow in Eastern Colorado/Western Kansas, not quite here yet. At 38F/3C snow probably wont happen. I don’t understand why people are complaining about this
kind of Wx in May? What’s the matter with them?
Plans: class
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. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty
and good. Excite our growth from strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

Outcome: With it still raining and cold there wasn’t much of a walk for Toby. His walk consisted of a block north then back. He let me know he was done.
Late to class. I knew I needed petrol. I left early to get petrol, so I went to my usual convenience store when I know gas is a bit cheaper. Sure, they weren’t open yet but I could pay the pump directly. HEL! I forgot my debit card had expired. A quick run back home to grab checkbook and off to QT so I would have someone validate my check. Not a great way to start the day.
At WATC I’m getting pelted with sleet on the way into the building.
CNC class continues to go well. Now we are to the point we are actually completing the parts for Spirit Aerospace. This is good!
Still nice and cool out. Why do people bitch about this? Early May we could easily be into the 80s/F27C. It’s get there soon enough…unfortunately.
Errands:
No Aldi today, they only accept cash and debit card...oh yeah, I DON’T HAVE MY DEBIT CARD!
*Wal-Mart
*Dillons
*Dillons petrol.
GODS! How long has it been since I’ve written THAT MANY checks?
What has happened? I have absolutely no energy. I had to have a late-evening nap.
Oh, yes, lack of energy (Uruz) and the sacrificed nap (Tyr); GOT IT!
Nirdu, brother-husband to Nirda, parents of the
Wanâ ; Ing-Fro and the Frouwa, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to our doors daily from the wonderful Universe in which we live.
Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!
