Tis sad to see dad weak and moving so slow! (He doesn’t seem to be dealing with the stroke too well. (He is used to doing pretty much whatever he wants to, but this has limited what he can do.) (It sounds like he can get back to where he was before the stroke, but it’s going to take time and work, and he has a problem with patience.))
I went out today and bought some cheap shirts at Kmart. (Not much, but they will get me through the trip.)
The DOW went over 11,000 again today, to 11,047. (I still don’t understand.) (Dad says it’s simply that there is so much money in the market that it keeps pushing it up.) (He still agrees it’s going down and he is even further out of the market than last year, but who knows when and what will drive things back to reality.)
Tis nice to get some home cooked meals! (I do ok, but mostly I just nuke a tv dinner. (That is getting old!)) (I did finally start cooking spaghetti now and then this summer.)
Not being able to talk about my problems is a bit frustrating, but they have enough problems of their own to overcome and don’t need the added stress. (Hold it in and deal with it on my own. (I am used to getting by with no one to share the load, but sometimes the load gets pretty heavy.))
