Still feeling like shit w/o medicine, and at time, even with it.
Plans: work 10hrs
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 HEIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

A thirteenth I mention, when I sprinkle the son,
The young one, with holy water,
If once he faces the foe, then he cannot fall,
No sword can wound him so he collapses in the dust.
