Quiet Day with Dad and Dorothy

Wednesday, April 28th, Scottsdale
Kind of a lazy day, as we hang out at the apartment and don’t really do much except head off to Costco to get some thing for dinner. Dorothy drove and got lost and it was a scary drive, both there and back as she drives quite fast, seems to have a difficult time finding her way, turns from the wrong lanes, and just doesn’t seem very confident. She blames it on her being upset with Ed, with his getting on her case, that she drives quite fine when he is not around. Let’s hope so. Because I am bored, I drive up the corner, get gas and go into Albertsons for some vermouth and cherries. We end up watching some television together, an hour of American Idol and The Good Wife, a show Dorothy likes which we did too.. An uneventful day, of Costco chicken, homemade soup for lunch, and not much else to do, unless we drive somewhere. It sad to think that Ed cannot really do much anymore, that the rest of his life will be spent in this small apartment/condo but in some ways, he is quite lucky, with someone to take care of him, a fine house, really all he needs at this time in life. Life diminishes as we get older, unfortunately, and the doing becomes less and less, as of necessity. Old age aint’ for the faint hearted, as Betty Davis said.
