I want to say Thanks to everyone of you to taking care of Dad in last 2 weeks for us. I am going to back to work tomorrow, Monday. I hope I could "beehive myself" better at the work.
I will try back on the normal schedule of taking care of Dad next week. I would like to still take either Tuesday or Wednesday for Dad. I don't know your guys scheduled. Wednesday would be great for me.
Please let me know .

I talked to Dad today on the phone and he is doing well. I took Dad around 2-3 times last week for errands and to McDonalds. Dad has given up on buying a new car; but would like me to drive him around as needed under the stipulation that he will drop me a $20 here and there and will agree not buy another car. So, I think we have a win/win until I find more permanent employment. Dad and I had some good talks last week. Sheryl and I also visited Dad Monday and Friday.

Today was a good day for Harold. Todd & I took Harold out to dinner at Zeponie Pizza (in the complex across the street from his condo). He really seemed to enjoy it! He had a big bowl of salad, some breadsticks and two pieces of pizza. They decorated the place using old record album covers (most were movie soundtracks). He really seemed to enjoy looking at them and reminiscing about old movies. He mentioned he and Joan used to go to movies almost every night after they first were married.
I balanced his checkbook and wrote out checks for a couple of bills that were coming up due.
Harold's doctor's appointment is Tuesday, November 3rd (see post from 10-12-09). I think Todd's planning on taking him.

Sorry for the delay getting this posted. Todd did update some things as a comment under Kathryn's Tuesday post.
Todd & I took Harold to dinner at IHOP. Harold started immediately in on the car - he wants Todd to take him to buy one. We tried to reason with him with logic (see Todd's comment) but didn't have much success. Harold also said he was tired of paying the condo fees of $140.00 per month. He doesn't have the money and it doesn't pay for anything. I reminded him it paid for lawn care, snow removal, cable TV, etc. We also pointed out that rent on an apartment would be $800-$1,000 a month. The $140 condo fees are a lot less than that.
Harold mentioned moving in with Grant. As Todd asked questions it came up that this was all Harold's idea not Grant's. Harold had offered to pay him the $140 condo fees and what he was paying for utilities as "rent". He said Grant said he's think about it.
