Mother’s Day 2009

Staying in one place for a while has its perks. Today we got to be lazy in the morning. I got up and fixed Ellyn a nice breakfast of a mushroom and cheese omelet and some cantaloupe. Then we packed up all our dirty laundry and made a trip to a local coin laundry. All done in about 2 hours. Next, a quick lunch and off to the local Target to do a little shopping. Then to a movie theater to catch the new Star Trek movie. It was great!

At the Target, I got a little scare from Ellyn. As we approached the entrance, she suddenly grabbed me and said “I feel really dizzy. Hold onto me.”. I did that and she shook her head hard and said it was passing. I tried to get her over toward the store and out of the parking lot, but then she suddenly dropped to the ground. I was scared but she seemed to be laughing it off and shook her head again. Other people came up but she was able to get up and go on with the shopping. She said she had been diagnosed by her doctors to have some kind of sand in her inner ear. I had not heard of that but she said they told her to just shake her head and the sand would redistribute and the dizziness would go away. I guess it worked but I guess this was the first time it happened while she was standing. She had not told me about it before but I guess she has had it happen every couple weeks or so. Sheesh!

After the movie we walked around a little in the outdoor mall near the theater and then headed back to the RV. We had to move it over to the dump station at the park and empty the holding tanks. Now we should be ok until we leave here on Friday. Then we headed out to get some dinner but I had left my wallet in the RV by mistake. It was disappointing but we came back to the RV and just had some leftovers.

Now I need to put away the clean clothes and get our bed made back up so we can get some sleep. Tomorrow is another day in paradise.
