Home but not relaxed yet.

We must be accustomed to rising early because we wakened at 7:30. We had not showered for a day and were eager to get clean which we did. We helped with breakfast and then went on a laundry-a-thon. We had a ton of dirty clothes: 8 loads worth. We also had to return some books and videos to the library before 10 to avoid additional fines. Evelyn, Rosalie and I walked them 8 blocks to the outdoor depository. Evelyn got to feeling dizzy but struggled on. She continued to feel funny most of the day. We also finished cleaning out the motor home and the Saturn. We changed the linen on the bed, removing the flannel sheets for the summer, I hope. The morning went quickly with the flurry of activity. I tried to find some cheap airline tickets for Evelyn in case Mom dies within the next three days. Hospice has given her 3 days to 3 weeks. I have trouble finding good deals on line, so I e-mailed Tom for help. He did not respond today so he may be busy or may respond tomorrow. We had lunch and then Noah and I rode to the local auto parts store for some oil and a filter for the motor home. It is hard to imagine that I changed the oil less than a month ago but have driven 3,000 miles and need to change it again. We had a great ride on our bicycles downhill but a struggle coming back. Andrew had asked me to get some lawn fertilizer for him and it turned out that it weighed 10 pounds. I had a monumental struggle trying to pedal and maintain my balance with a 10 pound weight dangling from my right hand. We finally got home and I waited until it cooled a bit before changing the oil. It went rather smoothly compared with the previous one when I spilled the oil pan at Trail’s End. Pieder came home from work and we had dinner that was rather tasty. After that they played “dark tag” and we took a walk. When we returned, the boys wanted to play euchre so we did. We will likely not go to Mammoth to watch the skiing because we want to get home. We hope the repairs on the coach can be completed on Monday. We can then leave and burn the pavement for Indiana. It is unlikely that the living room slide can be repaired in one day but we can have that done in Decatur where we park.
