Well, this was Susan's second week, although she only had to work Monday and Tuesday. She did three "intakes" yesterday, two of which were by telephone. She told me that she is getting better at her new job, and is feeling better about it. And for that, I thank God. We have been praying the Rosary with Fr. Pacwa in the morning at 4:30. It's been a wonderful thing--our praying together. We've had snow and bitter cold temperatures. Susan is taking the bus with me in the morning, and that relieves me greatly; besides it was so wonderful taking the #2 bus with her at 7:11 a mere block from our apartment.

So much has happened. Last weekend was terribly agonizing for Susan and I. Worried over our impending move to Bremerton: we had planned to pack the car with clothes and necessities and leave early this morning; but, thanks to God and the intersession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Susan got a position at the CSO (welfare office) on Boone and Maple. We called each other last Monday. Susan asked me if I was sure that I wanted to go to Bremerton, and I admitted that I really didn't. We were resolved at that point to stay in Spokane figuring that Susan would at least go on unemployment and I would be able to continue working at the EWU. Then events cascaded: Enola had an informal at the CSO. Susan had an interview which went well, however, we didn't receive word that she received the position until Tuesday. We were so amazed and thankful how God worked it out for us. Wednesday evening we got connected to the Internet through Comcast. We are frankly lost with this resource and today we will be hooked up with DISH.

I thank God for His blessings on Susan Diane. Susan has been prayerfully reading "Self-Abandonment to Divine Providence." This morning I woke at 4:00 so that we could pray the rosary together with Fr. Pacwa on EWTN. She told me that she was not praying for jobs anymore, but for conformance to the God's loving Will. She also told me that during this month that she's been away from Lakeland, she has been happy. I was so glad to hear that. We realize that this time has been very difficult for her. Susan has suffered much, but her faith has been strengthened. Praise God!

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.
