It has been a wonderful day for Susan and I. It was cold--something like 1 degree. We walked in the snow and cold (thankfully the wind was not blowing) up to Huckleberry's. We came home to put away the groceries and then ventured outside again this time catching the 46 on 5th. We rode that bus downtown. Walked around in Riverpark Square Mall until Nordstrom's Cafe opened at 10. We had a great lunch of Pear Salad and Mushroom Ravioli which we shared, of course. We also had a great bottle of Pinot Grigio. It was an enchanted time for Susan and Daniel.

Almost the end of 2010. It would be so fitting for Susan to WIN the Mega-Millions Lotto drawing tomorrow night--the last day of The Year of Susan. It's up to something like 237 million.

Embracing Buddhism. Didn't go to Mass on Christmas. Not a problem. Om Krishna.

Susan and I had a lovely 3 days off together. We were able to go to daily Mass at 8:00 AM at St. Al's on Friday and Saturday. The weather turned nasty: slick snowy streets. We decided early Sunday morning not to go to Mass, I mean driving was out of the question, and I was worried about the conditions of the sideways for walking. Today was Day 8 in our Novena to Saint Joseph praying that Andy was find a good job in Spokane, soon. Susan spoke to him later Sunday morning and he told her that he went or was going to church--the 4 Square Mega-Church near SJA, where he met his old boss or something and discussed business or somesuch. I was amazed. We say our morning Rosary for him and yesterday we lit candles for Andy. God bless him.

Today is the Third Sunday of Advent. Susan and I, of course, went to Holy Mass at St. Aloysius. We both received quite a blessing. It's rather astounding that after a week when we feel off the wagon so to speak that we would be able to return to Church with such devotion and intensity. Well, Praise God! We started a Novena to St. Joseph, the Patron Saint of Workers, for Andy: that he would find a good job in Spokane.

Susan and I had a lovely date-dinner at Cyrus O'Leary's last night afterwork. It was beautiful and romantic.

We've decided (yesterday, Monday, shortly after the Rosary) not to be Catholic-Christians any longer. I'm going to be the pagan that I am; and Susan is the Witch-Goddess that she is and always will be. Andy called Susan this morning around 5:00 AM. He told his mother that he lost his job which was out in Post Falls. Susan has had revelations to trust her intuition; and this morning that we will be winning the Lotto!

I asked Susan this morning, before we went to work, how she was doing. She said she was tired, and something or other (which I can't remember, and that she didn't want to be Christian anymore. No problem. I told her on the bus that I was then free to declare that I "adored and worshiped her"--which I do! Susan is my goddess; she is my life. We are reverting to what we are, anyway: me, a pagan, and Susan, the goddess. Everything is wonderful!

Today is the 2nd Sunday of Advent. We were able to drive to Mass, which was beautiful. First, though, we drove to Safeway on Hamilton. It's cold today, 29 degrees--which is not bad--but there's cold air coming upon us from the NE. Susan lost a crown this morning near the end of Mass, but she said that it was a crown on a tooth that has had a root canal, and apparently it's not functional: there are no teeth below it.

Well this has been Susan's third week on the job--although during the second, Thanksgiving week--she only worked Monday and Tuesday. We are having a relaxed Saturday, reading. Its about 27 degree. but the sun is shining and hopefully the main roads will dry out and we will be able to drive to Mass and the store tomorrow.
