how slowly is slowly? are we talking 10psi over a week, or you leave your house at 120 and come back at 90?

Due to hip issues, I didn't ride my bike from 11/6/05 until yesterday. On 11/6 they had 110psi. Yesterday before I put air in them they had about 40psi.
When riding regularly, I need to add about 10psi a week to keep them at 110 - 115psi.

you say it happens over a week, but like what, are we talking about it is sitting at like 20psi? or has it lost just a little, like 10-15psi?
