Susan woke me up, as requested, at 6:00 AM. She sat on the edge of the bed and said that she was very depressed. That lists of State jobs that Enola emailed to her last Friday, she said, had nothing for her. She said, "I'm going to Bremerton; you stay in the apartment." Is this God's Loving Will? It can't be!

We were watching Blue Bloods the other day. The catholic element in the show inspired us, and we returned to our catholic faith. Praise God! Yesterday, Andy came out here and we moved some more things into our new apartment.

Well Susan finally got her "lay-off" letter. So her last day will be Friday, November 12, 2010. We are probably going to move into the new apartment on the 14th.

A lot has happened, but on the job-front Lakeland hasn't come through with a lay-off letter and a "formal" option. Sometime, a couple of weeks ago--possibly on October 11th--Susan received email stating that Francis Haddon Morgon was not, after all, filling the HPA position. On the 21st we signed a six month rental lease for the apartment in Spokane. (The address is 29 East 6th Avenue, #204.) Susan had a job interview in the Rockcliff building for the auditor position. She was not optimistic about it. We'll see what happens. Afterward, we drove up to Inland Real Estate on Northwest Blvd to sign the lease. Meanwhile, we have turned from Christianity and embraced Paganism, Wicca and the Holy Goddess.

Early this morning Susan and I had a good conversation about her Lay-off situation as she prepared smoothies. We've decided that Bremerton is OUT, even though she will have to accept Francis Haddon Morgon as her "formal" option. I think that the elimination of moving to Bremerton has relieved Susan of a lot of stress and anxiety, and that in itself is a very good thing. She found some apartments on Empire and Cook that seem to cater to people over 55. (This evening we talked about that some more and will apply for those.) There was another issue about her college transcripts which we are going to get in order for her to apply for this Social Worker job with CPS by Tuesday. Another interesting development: Susan was watching Fr. Corapi at lunch time and reading Abandonment to Divine Providence today. Apparently we are practicing Catholicism and this evening I prayed the Rosary.

It's early Sunday morning. I got up about 5:40. Susan didn't wake up until 2:00 AM. She has a good sleep, retiring last night just before 7:00 PM. I was pleased to hear that. She made smoothies for us about 6:00. I sat at the kitchen counter and we talked. She revealed to me that there were moments this morning when she experienced JOY and then she said "Baruch HaShem". That was a great indicator and I was happy to hear that. After she poured our glasses we saluted one another with L'Chaim.

Greetings. It's Shabbos but we are not observing it this day: 1 Cheshvan 5771. Susan has a need for Buddhism and controlling the Mind through analysis, introspection, meditation and breathing--and that's OK! I read the weekly Torah portion early this morning (Noach). We went for a lovely walk this morning after the light drizzle stopped. We talked about the lay-off situation, Bremerton, and tried to understand the State lay-off system such as formal and informal options, etc. Susan hasn't heard a word yet. She has told me that we just have to wait, but eventually things will happen, hopefully before the snow falls!
