It was a day

Well I promised more about Park City, which I hope to get to, but I'll first start out with how this week has been going. So, today I had to go to a New Employee Workshop for my job. No, I did not get a new job and yes I have been there for over a year. For some reason or another I just slipped through the cracks, but they've now realized I never went and made me go. So, I was sitting in there with people who mostly had been there about a month one or two a few months and others where it was their third day. Let me tell you it was greatly exciting. To top it off we had an all staff meeting. Normally its broadcast to the branches but my manager told me to just go there since I had to be at the training at 9:30. Of course it has to be the one time the 8:00 meeting gets over in a half hour. So, I went and got some breakfast at good ol McDonalds (you know I love starting my day off right be jumping into 1000 calories) and sat to read my New Moon book for awhile. So that was today. I've pretty much done nothing all afternoon, I did take a nap I didn't really need and watched pointless tv shows so yeah I know you love reading about my fabulous life. Moving right along, well I should say back along. Yesterday, I had the day off (wahoo) I have to work Saturday so that's why. It really didn't feel like a day off in that I spent it at a car mechanic, photography studio, doctors office and two hospitals...let me explain each. So last week I realized my headline on my bug went out, drivers side (yes that is significant) So my dad was going to try to fix it but the car didn't come with a manual so I got online. Pretty much every website suggested to just take it into the mechanic if its on the drivers side if the passengers side it gave directions for what to do. I called the dealership since pretty much no one else looks at vw and they said the same thing people try to fix it but end up breaking things that cost hundreds of dollars. The biggest problem is the battery sides like right there by it they said they have to take apart the entire front part of the car. At this point I just wanted it fixed so I took it in. I swear over the phone I was quoted $45. I took it in at 9:00 in the morning with an appointment they took it back as soon as I got there and had it for a good 45 minutes. For some reason it ended up totaling $63 I dont know since they washed it if that was an extra 20 haha or what but needless to say I'm just glad its taken care of. So, I get home to find Chalice needs to get her senior picture taken at Lifetouch studio. I remember when I had to go get mine I had a tough time finding it and let's just say I"m a tad bit better reading directions then she is. So I agreed but we were only there for about 15 minutes so it wasn't a big deal. Next stop was the doctor. The reason I went is because Friday night I had been riding the Alpine slide in Park City (more on that later) but you have to ride the ski lift to get up there. I did not realize you are supposed to wait for the yellow feet to get up. I put my feet down and tried to stand up while it was still too close to the ground. It hurt when I did it but I just tried to shake it off. I was wearing shoes with a little heel on Monday and I stepped kinda weird in them and think I did something more to it. I've had the sharpest pain at the top of my ankle ( i dunno how to explain the exact position) anyway it just started hurting worse and worse the more I walked on it. It also started forming a small bruise. This is where I decided to go in to get it checked out. The doctor suggested x-rays along with rest, elevation, ice and maxing out my dosage of ibuprofen ( something I can't quite do for fear I'll pass out haha) Of course his small office doesn't offer x-rays so I went to Jordan Valley hospital to find out my insurance isn't accepted there. I then went to Alta View where I was in and out. I still have yet to hear the results (I"m a little upset about it I tried calling but keep getting the runaround) so we'll see. I have it wrapped (most of the time not right now in my bed) just to help support it, nothing big and again the only concern I've had is because its been hurting worse the more I walk on it. Wow, this one is quite long. Monday I can't remember anything too significant oh wait yes I got my hair done again I'll have to post a picture of it soon. Sunday was pretty quiet and Saturday I worked and also went to Kyle's birthday party. Hmm I'm getting kinda tired of typing I might again have to save Park City for another post....yeah that sounds like a fabulous idea.
