And I spent the next few days just in the typical, miserable fog of a cold. By Friday, I finally felt like the worst of it was over. With Love&#8217;s birthday coming up the following day, I ran an errand to the store to get some gift wrap and his ice cream cake.<\/p>\n<p>Just that made me pretty tired and I was a little concerned for our plans for Saturday to head over to Disney for his birthday. And Saturday morning I woke up and had some stomach upset which got us off to a late start but we still got there by around 2pm.<\/p>\n<p>We walked around Epcot, window shopping and browsing for a few hours. Then, around 5pm or so we headed over to the Magic Kingdom. It was really busy there because of the holiday weekend but we wandered around for a little bit before our dinner reservations.<\/p>\n<p>Love&#8217;s brother was going to come with us originally, but wound up not being able to so we checked in a little early and since we were only two instead of three, they got us seated really quick. Dinner was good and Love and I enjoyed both the meal and the company. We laughed and enjoyed each others company. They came and sang for him too and brought him a cupcake with a birthday candle. He hated it but I laughed. (And took video of the whole thing on my digital camera to preserve the moment!)<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, his vertigo has been a real problem again lately, after almost completely going away a couple months ago. (We still have no idea what&#8217;s causing it or why it comes on or why it went away for awhile, etc. He saw his primary doc, an ENT and even had an MRI and a ton of different course of meds and we still have no answer.) Well it hit &#8211; hard &#8211; shortly after eating. He got sick and just felt awful, so we just left and headed home.<\/p>\n<p>We were originally planning on staying much later but with our passes, it&#8217;s not a big deal if we have to leave early one day. (It&#8217;s not like we paid for a regular, expensive day ticket or anything.) I felt bad that his evening had to end on a lower note like that but he still said he had a really good day despite the vertigo.<\/p>\n<p>I was pretty tired from all the walking around on Saturday, but the sneezing\/running nose\/blowing my nose is almost completely over. I&#8217;ve got a little bit of gunk that is still coming out but I&#8217;m definitely on the mend. Yay for being over the cold!<\/p>\n<p>So that was the weekend and Love&#8217;s birthday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valentine&#8217;s Day evening was when I first realized I was sick.
