Oh.

I never would have imagined my various electronics not minding themselves. My coffee maker played the morning news today.

I might need a new coffee maker, there's an axe in this one.

I could have lived with my television going screwy. Or even my phone acting up. But my hot tub? Really? All I wanted to do was relax for a bit but no - that was too much to ask of this place. Unless you happen to find boiling hot water relaxing. Lucky for me I thought to check before climbing in or I could have ended up with some really nasty burns and an awkward hospital run.

As long as Halloween is nothing like back in my dreams I'll be a happy woman. I might be a glutton for fighting but some holidays are just too much even for me.

Though, at least, it's almost guaranteed to never be boring there.

October. One of my favorite months. In my dreams, it's the end of harvest season, and Chicago is also turning cold and I happen to really like the cold. It's fun having a set of dreams from so long ago that I feel positively ancient and then having more modern ones where I live in Chicago.

It makes me miss living in Chicago now, though, I wouldn't go back to live. unless I was asked by Thomas so he could move.. I have settled here and that's not a bad thing. It just is weird how some things trigger a bout of melancholy.

Dreams, dreams, and more dreams. Isn't that how this place goes? I do wonder what is going to happen next. I'm vaguely curious. I want to know, how deep in this battle do I get? Do I get to fly a helicopter again? These are the things I inquire about.

It took awhile but I finally managed to get a good grasp of Norse. Dream!me is clearly fluent, but I've been struggling with it.

I've enjoyed trying to read the original stories about myself, of course. And plenty revolve around the Gods, including my boss. It's been interesting, really.

Might have an exclusive client but this week was spent not with him. Hope my stand in wasn't too much of a pain. But it felt good to get my hands dirty and to play with a little of my new gifts.

Though for the record, burns still hurt like a bitch.

Well well well. It seems that whatever is behind these dreams decided to give a gift. I woke up to the costume I wore to that party I dreamed of on the foot of my bed - loincloth and all. I couldn’t help but try it on just to see if it fit as well as it did in the dreams. And I wasn’t disappointed by what the mirror showed me.

Normally I'd stick around after filming an overseas project to spend a little more time with the friends I'd made there but this time I couldn't because of things completely out of my control. How was I supposed to know she was married? Let alone to the guy I was seeing over there? Neither of them were wearing rings not that that would have stopped me.

I don't know how I managed but I got a whole week and a half off of any work. I don't know what to do with my time. I mean, shit, I usually am off two days and work for two weeks. Maybe we're finally cutting my schedule back. Or it means I'm going to get some hard ass assignment in a few weeks and they want me rested.

That... is probably more likely.

It's just not a Friday night until I'm hit on by at least two men, while I'm out, one of which can't listen when I say I'm not interested.


Which results in me breaking his hand and arm then his buddies nose and talking my way out of being arrested.for assault.

I have the best Friday nights..

I've seen my fair share of things that would cause regular folk to have major nightmares, and have yet to have one myself.

But I'm pretty sure I'm either cracking under the pressure or getting those Dreams everyone talks about. Either way? Not okay.

Spending time with the new pets in the house has been lovely. Although I'm anxious to find work again, soon. I've never done well with sitting at home on my butt. It's just not me. Strangely I've been blissfully free of Dreams, which has been nice, that is one thing I'll take here.

So far so good, the furballs are settling in nicely, they seem to love the open floor plan and plenty of cool tile to lay on. Of course they both want to lay on me when I go to bed, and that's rather awkward considering Spike's a good 130lbs. My legs lose feeling relatively fast.

Whenever any of my dear friends are free, I'd love to introduce you to the horde, so that they may know who you are and not try to squish you too much when you come over.

In about a week, Dani and I are going to be taking a long trip. When we get back we'll be settling in a new house in Vancouver. It's exciting, and a little terrifying, but the Ranch will be in good hands with Summers.

So I guess this'll be a goodbye.

There's something refreshing about spending the night under the stars instead of under the roof of a house. A few days away was exactly what I needed to recharge the old batteries, as it were. I've been thinking of getting back into working out daily, since I retired it'd been a little scattered, and I think I need a workout partner, I'm used to a group of annoying men trying to out do one another and me, so going at it alone would be too weird, I think.

Summer's just around the corner and that means it's going to get sunnier and hotter. If you have pets, especially dogs, this is the time to start making sure you protect them from the heat as much as yourself. If you have dogs that need to stay outside, you should try to get a kiddie pool and fill it with some water for them to splash in. Also, we have a lot of dogs at the shelter that could use great homes with great families, just as a side bar. :)

I should fill my time with work again. I suppose. Sitting at home isn't suiting me as well as we all had hoped. Anyone have a place that a retired Marine MP NCO, Valkyrie with the ability to see when people are gonna die, and oh, near immortality? could fit into?

Every time I look into the mirror I am surprised at what I look like. I spent years, decades, not looking at myself, except for a quick second to make sure I was up to standards. I wonder idly when I have turned out as I did. I came out much more unscathed from the wars that I've than expected.

What a strange day, to be thinking like this.

At long last, Spring has arrived and, for once, I could not be more pleased-- not pleased enough to switch to pastel colors-- but enough to have retrieved and waxed my board in anticipation for riding the morning surf again.

I am also proud to announce permits for this season's hunting trips have been at last obtained. Now we will see, Thor, if you can best the bear of which you have boasted. Sigrun, you did not specify what game you wished to hunt or if you wished to join my brother and I on our bear hunt. Of course, Dani Moonstar, I extend an invitation to join us on this little endeavor. I would hazard you may welcome a change of pace before long.

My thoughts go out to those at Fort Hood. I can only hope this brings to the forefront the fact war can fuck you up, even if you refuse to admit it, and there needs to be more mental health care for our soldiers.

If I was the type to start programs, I'd start one for better mental health care, as I am not, I can only hope someone does. I am sick of seeing this happen to my fellow soldiers.

These are the rare days I miss being sent out in the field. Reading such news makes me want to hunt them down one by one. Probably would get court marshaled for it if I was still in the service, but I am not sure it would stop me anymore.

Remind me again why I agree to do charity events for my old job? Oh. Right. They like pulling us retired veterans out of our happy retirement, shove us in our old uniforms and parade us around to get money. sigh.

That's not to say I don't like my old dress uniform. I do, I love it. But man, charity events are exhausting.

Which is probably why the OC threw a new Dream at me. This is utterly fascinating, truly.

Dear friend, I seem to have acquired an object from my Dreams, it's probably too dangerous to play with but oh I find myself unable to truly avoid that.

Thank you, again, for helping me dispose of the bodies. They were causing quite a stink, weren't they?

If I had wanted volcanic activity, I would have made my home near one. Consequently, this is not the beginning of Ragnarök; however, this dark world is enough to give one pause.

Earlier a band of Orcs decided to tromp through my property on their way to the lake for provisions. Garm, who takes his duties as guard dog serious, naturally attacked. The Orcs obliged to take their best a swing at him with swords, so I was break his neck and kill the others before they could injure him further. It was deeply satisfying. I admit before today I did not realize how greatly my strength has increased or the level of aggression I could possess. Although I'm certain my Valkyries teammates would claim otherwise.

Corpses now litter the side yard. No matter how hard I try I cannot convince Garm to abandon the one as he has dragged off under the porch to eat. This is just as well. The less I will have to bag and tag later the better.

An additional side note, I have taken an Orc sword for my own. It is crude, ugly thing, but surprisingly balanced with a good heft behind it. I will keep it handy should another band decide to stray this way. If anyone has been injured, please let me know. I will come to treat them regardless of the hour or dust.

It's been rather nice relaxing at home. I've gotten so much done around the house I had forgotten about. I've gotten the fences repaired, the leaks I noticed fixed, and it got an early spring cleaning. I feel rather accomplished. I suppose that is the joys of being a home owner, huh? I cleaned out one of the big rooms to turn into a Gym, and am thinking of putting in a hot tub and a pool this year.

Oh, Canaan, that reminds me. Remember when I said I was going to get a Tandoor oven? I got it imported and brought in.

Those of you who know me, know that I severely dislike this time of the year; however, in attempt to be a more sociable and in lieu of a long overdue housewarming, I will be hosting a New Year's Eve party. Consider this an open invitation to my family, friends, and roller derby teammates and others lost on this our Island of Misfit Toys, whom have no place better to spend the countdown to midnight.

Party begins at 9 o'clock in the evening. You may bring a food stuff or liquor (Note: Those of you who are underage will not be imbibing alcohol that evening under threat of having activated charcoal pumped down your throat and into your stomach). Do dress for the occasion and should you have dog allergies or a dog-based phobia-- better luck next year.

Please RSVP below so I can have an accurate headcount.


[This intention for this open invitation party is for characters, both old and new, who might not normally meet to encounter and make connections. It does not matter if your muse knows Hela, she's feeling welcoming this night.]
