Uffdah! Uffdah! Uffdah! What a drive!
Othila reversed, Wunjo, and Berkana (Thurisa) guided my trip home, today.
Othila is the rune of family, of inheritance. I drew that this morning and was wondering how it would apply to my day because I was returning home. Answer to the question arrived via text and telephone. Text from a friend who was having a day of health issues: the squirts are never fun, especially when they come in two varieties. And the telephone conversation was timely, my dear friend needed some support. That is the nice thing about technology, you can still be there for someone even when there are 600-700 miles separating you. Her call and my rant from Friday night were timely. We decided that between the two of us, we could write a manual of what not to do...
Wunjo is the rune of joy and serenity. Trapped in a car driving for 11-12 hours, how can you not find serenity? The only things that tried to upset the apple cart was inconsistent radio stations and a rude little boy in a gas station.
Berkana is growth and doing the right action. Today's right action was compromise. That started first thing, I compromised with the alarm for a later start time. I compromised with myself and did not inform that little boy he was very rude and should be taught better. I also realized that I should not try to fix technological problems when I am exhausted. Turns out, I am a bit bitchy when I am tired (its old news, I know, but I am admitting to it). Also think it might be a good idea to hire a mediator or an agent to act upon my behalf during those occasions......
Eihwaz is the task for tonight. Perhaps, I will start with not tearing myself up too bad concerning my stressed-out-tired-rudeness... And, go to bed early so I don't get sick.
