Advent started November 30th

Dumb newbie that I am, I thought the new liturgical year started today (Monday, December 1).  So I could have brought my 2025-26 Sunday missal to the mass yesterday where I took part in the rite of acceptance in to the Catchumenate.  Oh well.  I'll know better for next time.

I got this book of daily Advent reflections for 2025.  December 1, the reflection was about Charles De Foucauld, a saint who came to the faith late in life.  A better late than neverer.  He was suggested as my personal saint by the AI when I queried it with a detailed question about who my personal saint (my patron saint) should be.

6:41 AM: numbers

 


A lot of the videos I uploaded last evening have gotten hundreds of views.  Meanwhile this blog has had almost no views.  I need the numbers here because this is where I make money.

I extended my Duolingo streak to 2136 days.

I’ll deposit over 700 bucks in the bank this morning.

 Surviving.  That’s what I say if anyone asks me.
