new place

So i moved into a place in fullerton. I'm glad that i found a place to stay. A old retired couple gave me my own room and bathroom for $500 a month. It's pretty awesome not having to share anything and getting a lot of privacy. They don't do much but go walking in the morning, meals, tv during the day and they sleep really early. My neighborhood is super quiet. Even the littlest of sounds seem amplified because of the extreme silence. They have a nice swimming pool in the back that i probably should take advantage of.

There's also a school across the street (where isaac goes, sometimes i look out my window to see if i can spot him when they're all running around), and I still want to go play basketball at their courts. They even have little rims where i can dunk on! It feels kinda weird moving back to fullerton. I got used to living in bellflower with my roommate. I feel even more lonely because i go through most of my days not talking to anyone and doing everything independently. I could probably fall in a hole and no one would know i was missing for weeks. I feel like it's just going to school, studying and then repeat.

When i moved in i found out that the wife has Alzheimer's. She didn't know she had 4 children and didn't recognize pictures of her grandchildren. Sometimes she calls me robert. She worries when her husband is gone even for a few minutes. She forgets where he went. The husband kind of gets angry and treats her like a child. She keeps repeating things, and he has to keep repeating commands to her. It's really sad. I'm thinking of cooking dinner for them one night, but they eat at like 5:30 and sleep at 8:30. I'm craving ice cream.
