8th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Discipline
The Noble Virtue of Discipline is a training to obey rules, a code of behavior or a branch of knowledge. It’s a method of systematic instruction intended to train a person within a given idea or method. Our Way is not an easy way. In many aspects, we fly in the face of the society around us. Be disciplined enough to stay Tru to the ideals of Heathenry as they unfold in your life. Be diligent in the study of your beliefs. Endeavor to honor the gods and goddesses of the Northern Germanic peoples (C.Reimer/V.Elmersson).
Havamal 69
No man is completely wretched, even if he has bad luck;
One man is blessed with sons,
Another with kinsmen, another has enough money,
Another has done great deeds (The Poetic Edda, Larrington pg. 23).
RAISE YOUR HORN! TIP YOUR GLASS! GIVE HAIL TO THE NOBLE VIRTUE OF DISCIPLINE!

I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me. I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side. I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Armanen Rune: Eh:
Havamal 162:
A seventeenth I know, through a wise law
To join two lives in love;
And everyone is willing, no virginal woman
Will leave me lightly after this.

Rune Lesson: With Ing-Fro’s example, we KNOW we have our dedication to a faithful marriage. Inguz is all about sexuality and internal growth. With that we know we have a true marriage.

I tried to file unemployment but was blocked out again. The last time that happened, my brother was still able to get it. I called him and he is locked out too this morning. Those fucking millionaires in Washington continue to argue about how much pittance THEY think I should get.

Call into the Emergency Hospital. TOBY IS COMING HOME!
*he was so happy to be home. His initial glucose reading on the Freestyle Libre was 200-something

Went into work late and left early. By the time I got in there the store was practically dead and most everything was done in the department. I should’ve never gone into work in the first place. Toby needs me.

I called the Emergency Hospital about to cry my eyes out because Toby STILL wasn’t eating and his glucose was back above 350. His glucose meter tops out at 350. I am not sure if I talked to a doctor or a tech, but she certainly was comforting. She told me to never give Toby insulin on an empty stomach because that could drive his glucose so low it could kill him. She told me to come get the cans of dog-food they forgot to give me, which I gladly did. Took it back for Toby, but he turned his nose up at it. Toby still had some appetite stimulant so I gave him that before he headed outside. LOW AND BEHOLD, once he came back inside HE STARTED EATING! I immediately administered some insulin and called the hospital with the good news.
*Toby’s glucose reading is still 350+
