A tenth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me
To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.

Rune Lesson: As long as we remain fluid all challenges are eased. We grow, we learn, we go with the flow in order to protect ourselves from those who mean to do us harm. Life is ever-flowing. No matter the struggles, our lives are well lived.
*from re-creation to destruction.

Toby’s morning eyedrops

An open-faced breakfast sandwich; lemme tell you how I have improved “typical.” Prior to this improvement I would heat up the griddle to heat up two slices of Canadian bacon. I know because of my McDs experience, all Canadian bacon needs is to be heated up. Now, I put the two slices at the bottom of that which I use in the nuker. I scramble two eggs mixed with diced jalapeños and pour it over the Canadian bacon, nuke it for 1 ½ min. while the whole wheat toast is in and top that with a slice of (admitted) processed cheese. I pull the mixture out of the nuker and slide it over the toast. OMGs GOOD!
