I finally called my dad today. It was the longest conversation we’ve ever had. He went on about what him and mom bicker about (she says he does nothing), what he does all day now that he’s not working, how mom loves her job, how he’s frustrated living on the east coast, how mom apparently misses the Bay Area (even though Florida was her idea), and a lot of other things. I think he’s bored. Really bored. But he says he’s not, so what can you do. I invited him out for a visit. He replied by inviting me out there for a visit. Now we are supposed to compare ticket prices.

I would love to go to Florida for a week, but I cannot really afford it right now. I have other things I need to do with my money, and I will not ask my parents to pay for me to go. Now if they were to offer that would be different, but I wouldn’t ask.

I do wish they were closer though. I worry about them.
