Hanging out with my Dad is getting really really difficult, I spent most of the visit just crying because I couldn’t understand what he needed. It took 15 mins for him to tell me that he just wanted a couple of spoonfuls of apple juice. I hate going to see him now, and then I feel guilty if I dont. The distress is greatly increased when Mum decides to take advantage of you being there to run out the door. I hate seeing him like this, it feels awful that we all know we are just sitting around waiting for him to die.
Anyway after a really hard day with my Dad, I went to dinner and a movie with LuckyPhil tonight. I am so glad I managed to get out of the house for a bit. Dinner was really nice, we had a few laughs, and I really enjoy his company. We went to see Fast Food Nation at the cinema and the movie was a bit of a let down.
From the trailers we thought it would be a comedy, dark comedy maybe, but it wasn’t funny at all. And the end of the movie showed some really disturbing imagery of the kill floor at the slaughterhouse the movie centers around. Not for the faint hearted that bit. It was a bit of a slamming indictment of the state of the fast food industry both in the US and here no doubt. Makes you wonder…. and worry about what we’re being fed.
