NOTE: Animal issues first thing this morning.
*I feed the animals first thing every morning. When I went outside to feed Socks I noticed his water bowl was frozen. I let him eat undisturbed, but after he finished I scooped him up to take him into the heated Haruc. I’ll check on his after Toby’s walk.
*Essie would NOT stay out of the Yule tree. I feared for her safety. I can’t do anything about the lights as it’s a pre-lit tree, so I took off all the dangly ornaments in an effort to remove temptation. It seems her instance may have subsided a bit.
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 ninth I know: when need befalls me
to save my vessel afloat,
I hush the wind on the stormy wave,
and soothe all the sea to rest.
Outcome: Potential with calm…hmmmmmmmm,,,
Toby was once again perfectly behaved on his one mile walk.
Machining instructor was ill, which equated to a shortened class. I went home for a while to be with my furry babies. My brother came over for a brief visit. Some progress in CATIA, but I think I’m going to move onto a different problem and come back to this one if I can.
@ home...Relaxed…
At first I was kind of taken aback realizing how much time I’ve been spending in the kitchen. Believe me, I know it’s not as much as some people spend in there, but it’s more than I’ve spent in there for a long time. I’m just one of those guys who isn’t a fumble-butt in the kitchen. At the same time I realize I’m no Julia Childs either. That’s okay, I’m still guy.
Not too much happening, really. An uneventful night (Is) with the hopes of some fantastic potential (Hagalaz). Sure, I hang onto hope, but I don’t use it as a means to build unsubstantiated realities.
Essie has made sure I can’t put ornaments on the Yule tree. She’s still climbing up thru the inside but at least doesn’t have so much to tease her there. Rather than battle her on her bad habits I’m finding it to be easier if I let her work it out herself. Her interest is waning.
Socks was SO at the front door but made no effort to come inside. WTF Socks? OH! You want Essie to come out and play. Okay, it became a family event…as usual. Socks was being such a showoff. He was making sure Essie saw how fast he can run and how agile he is.
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 Ensiwë
g, 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!
