Susan seems to be doing better. She called me when I got downtown asking me not to get the science books, but instead wanted some books about Buddhism. I got her four or five books on Buddhism at the Public Library this afternoon. Grabbed five Asian DVDs also. I figure that this is good--if getting these helps her over this difficult time, then it's definitely worth it.

Happy birthday to Kathleen. It's her 20th birthday. Anyway, today is Tuesday. I took the day off to be with Susan who took the day off. She is having a pretty rough time of it--having been laid-off after 23 years of dedicated service to Lakeland Village. She fluctuates between depression and anxiety, but I am right by her side being strong and upbeat. I love Susan so much; she is my life!

It was a wonderful Shabbos. Havdalah has been prayed, but it is still Saturday. I called my Mother this morning. She is doing well--Baruch HaShem! Susan spoke for a long time with Bentley a couple of times. She is honored that he calls her and needs to speak to her and discuss things. I am very pleased about this, too, that he turns to her. Susan is tzadika (although she denies it). I love Susan so much!

Gut erev Shabbos! This will be our 3rd Shabbos. We have reclaimed and renewed our Jewish faith in HaShem. Last Monday Susan was informed that she was losing her job, apparently bumped by Nora, who could take the girl's job at Eastern State because of some "special." That has turned our life around. Susan has done remarkably well dealing with this. She has placed her trust in HaShem. A couple of weeks ago when won a $1000.00 on the lottery. Baruch HaShem.

Susan and I have a four day weekend. She mentioned on our walk this morning that Diane will meet with Nora next week and discuss her options. But, another very interesting development for Susan and I. She has renewed her love and devotion for Mary, the Mother of God. Apparently we are going to Jim's (ABBA's Catholic Bookstore) today after shopping at Walmart. I am frankly amazed! More later.

Interesting developments here with Susan and I. We are very much "into" the Goddess, and witchcraft. Last week we were reading Peretti, and last Friday I asked Susan if she wanted to go to church. This question was asked during one of our walks around the Lake. She told me that she didn't getting along with groups. They were restrictive and wanted to force you to be just one way with them. I understood what she meant, and agreed. And then with the weather turning fall-ish and our thoughts turning toward Halloween, we just naturally slipped into what we are: pagan and witchy.

Susan and I have four blissful days together. We took our beloved car in for it's semi-annual checkup, and having a coupon it cost us nothing. We left the car at Toyota, carefully crossed 2nd avenue, which is all torn up (plus many of the side streets), and had a delicious lunch at Nordstrom: Pear and blue chess with a crisp glass of Pinot Grigio. We walked to Auntie's and bought some magazines, then we walked to the library and checked out books and language CDs and tapes. Then we walked back to Toyota to pick up our car, and stopped by Rosauer's on our way home. We went for another walk around the lake after dinner. 'Twas a great day, and we anticipate winning the Mega Millions Lotto drawing tonight.
