It seems no matter how good Carolyn feels at home with regards to her vertigo, almost every time she has gone out of the house the last few weeks, she has had another vertigo attack. It happened again today, as we had some business to take care of that required her to go with me. When we left home, she felt fine, and was talking about what she would like to do when we were in town. There were a few things we still needed from the WalMart Mall, but after being there about 20 minutes, the colors, motions, and sounds combined to create a situation with her vertigo that she couldn't handle. I really feel badly for her because she is not able to do the things she wants to do. As soon as we can find another doctor here, she's going to see if there's anything they can do for her.

I did manage to find another garbage container, and it was much more reasonable than the $65.00 dollar thing that I put back yesterday.

Before Carolyn got sick in town, we managed to go to the courthouse annex and get the RV registration switched from Texas to Alabama. In order to do that, I had to get a sheriff's deputy to verify that the RV VIN was correct on the title. The deputy that helped us welcomed us to the area, and told us if we needed any help to let him know. He's a nice fellow, but I hope we never have to call him.

While we were at the courthouse, we decided to see if we could change our driver's licenses from Texas to Alabama. We had heard horror tales about how long it took to get anything done in that office, but we were taken right in and served immediately. We couldn't have gotten better service any where else.

It felt strange severing those ties from Texas. We were residents of Texas for more than 20 years, and enjoyed living there. Like any place, there were areas we liked more than others, but no matter where we were, the people always made up for any shortcomings an area might have. We will always remember our years of living there with fondness. But, we will go back to the state to visit Lori and her family and friends, and do some rambling.

Carolyn is getting into cooking in a house again. She always felt a little restricted cooking in the RV, and fussed about the amount of space to work in. I guess she has enough space now, and I'm the beneficiary with plenty of good food. Plus, she is having my sister Judy and her family here for Christmas, as well as Terri and Thomas. Good food and a family get together. I'm looking forward to it!

More later, be safe.
