No sword can wound him so he collapses in the dust.

Outcome: sorry Toby, I just can’t get motivated for our walk this morning.

Thunder, rain…heavy rain.

Toby got extra treats because he’ll have to spend at least the morning in this rain.

Good AM work
Lunch; The Heliand, Song 18; ya know, I’m not sure how much longer I’ll spend with The Heliand. The deception is repetitive.
Good PM work; good conversation with the 2nd shift Union Steward; good conversation @ the end of shift with my current trainer.
*Ehwaz/Bar right here!

Immediate shower

Dinner: garden salad with yesterday’s leftover beer chicken, an egg-n-cheese sandwich thrown-in for good measure…yummy!

PM God/dess Meditation: Wotan; Alle-Vater God! Wandering God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! Wotan!! Husband to Frija, the Alle-Mutter. Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wotan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, Wotan, as we honor the Wotan that resides in us all!
