today i went car shopping with dad. jo - dad was paid off and believes in self insurance. he got $2000 for the car. we looked at nissans, toyotas, scions, gmc, and ford. we bought the nissan cube. we could get two of these for the price of a new acura suv like he had. we tried to get in and out fast, but they held us 3 hrs. we finally left without the car because dad had to raise his feet. we will go in again tomorrow to pick it up.

what was amusing was dad was critical of a modern art painting. to me it looked like red water but it was hung wrong and i had to tilt my head to see it. dad saw a dancing girl, and we found pens in the office we were abandoned in and drew in a belly button and boobs. we were laughing so hard we nearly peed our pants.

it is amazing, after a good night sleep how the depression can be totally gone. i think if i could get a good nights sleep every night i would be so much better.

dad has some issues that have always been there but are now more pronounced. even without alzheimers senility is i think inevitable for some people. i think like me a lot of it is stress, of losing his wife, of becoming infirm, of losing his independence. i can suggest evaluation but i can't seem to get him to go to the doctor, and he just doesn't seem to care if that hastens his death. the relocation was hard on him and all new doctors gives him no rapport with any of them. at least now i am not working i can go to the doctor with him.
