So this week has been complete torture! I have just wanted to crawl into a hole and hide for a while until things just calm down. I honestly don't know how much more I can handle to completely honest. Let me just let you in on what has been going on, but please, no pitty!
- Wednesday I spent a long time at the hospital just waiting. (keep reading for more information) since I was there I had to cancel swim lessons for the following day, had to find someone to work for me, and make it to my student alumni meeting which I was not prepared for at all. I missed out on a lot of opportunities to meet more people and hang out with my neighbors from my complex. I ended up never going to bed that night.
- Thursday I worked at 5 am and since I never ended up going to bed, it happened to be a very long shift. While I was there I could not keep my eyes open and I probably looked like a very drunk person roaming the area with how out of it I was. I could not pay attention to any of the swimmers, which I am grateful that
- no one got hurt or drowned. I went running around the parking lot, splashed water on my face, ate food, jumped around and so on, but nothing worked to keep me awake. I finally got home at 9:30 and crashed on my bed until around 12:30.
- I skipped my first class which was at 12 and just went to the one at 1-2:15. The whole time I was zoning out and going to fall asleep. I had a grumpy look on my face and didn't make one comment the whole time. I went home and had to get ready to go teach swimming lessons. I taught and just wanted to die the whole time. I got done and went home. I finally went to bed around 6:30 pm. I felt so sick, was way tired, and was a grouch. So I went to bed :)
- Around 9 pm my roommates started screaming on the top of their lungs, I woke up and was so confused/angry about what happened. I gave them the worst look ever and told them to be quite. I feel kind of bad but it happened. I slept until 4:30 am and went to work at 5 am again.
- Friday I worked at 5 am and it wasn't bad at all. I stayed awake and was in good spirits. I got home and got all ready to go to the gym and work out. I got there and was about to start running when I got a text telling me I'm late for a meeting. Wow! Bad timing. My brain is just not functioning. I then was all hurried and stressed out.
- I had to go work AGAIN on Friday night from 3-10 pm at the city pool. Everything was going good until the last rotation which was at 9:40 pm. I had just got down to the bottom of the slide when a guy who is 39 goes down the slide. When he came out he was yelling that he dislocated his knee. Everyone, including me, started laughing cuz people get hurt all the time on the slide, but he was serious. I go over and look at it and sure enough it was badly dislocated. We turned off the slide, sat him on a backboard and carried him out to the front so he could be taken to the hospital by his wife in the truck. I start filling out the accident report form and next thing I know, the guys son is standing in front of me and starts yelling. He got so mad at me since I started laughing and didn't believe the guy at first. Then I couldn't help him fix his knee. I was just getting thrown around by his comments and nothing I said would help him calm down. When he was done and the whole pool stopped watching, I went and finished the accident report form. I don't do well when people yell at me so I started to tear up, :( and my head guard said, "Jacee, are you okay?" I tried to brush it off and say yes but I think he saw a tear in my eye. I walked out and got my shoes just so I could calm down. When I came back, a lady came up to me and was saying how bad she felt that I got yelled at and that I didn't deserve it. I just felt so bad that I didn't know what to do and just wanted to cry, but I kept my cool.
- On my way home I almost get in a car wreck cuz some idiot decides to pull out in front of me and almost T Bones me. It gets me very angry and I just want to get home.
- Saturday I find out that someone hits the front of my mom's car with a hitch. Which I'm sure it was the Utah Barricade Truck but not for sure. I have to deal with that while I'm dealing with telling my head guard that I am not coming into work that day since I honestly could not find one person that would take my shift. I tried everyone and no one was available. So I didn't show and am getting written up for that.
- Later after the game I met up with city police to figure out the damages to my mothers car. Not much can happen since I left the scene and there is no facts showing who did hit me for reals. I got to ride in the back of a police car to my parents house to see the damage to the car. After that is all done, I can finally go home and relax. A friend of mine was going to come over and watch a movie with me and my roommate but he ended up bailing. And not to mention, I have had a headache pretty much the whole week. Its been great!
Some good things do happen in the midst of all the crazy drama that happens. I have been trying to focus on the positives to help me through but as you can see, there hasn't been much of that anywhere.
- On Wednesday, Whitney, my sister in law, was admitted into the hospital because she was going to have her baby. After 14 hours of waiting, Mckay Robert Whatcott entered this world at 2:12 AM. He weighed 7 lbs 14 ounces, and was 20.5 inches long. He is the cutest baby ever. His dark hair, tiny fingers and toes, precious face, and angel like presence is just the best thing that could have happened to me this week. I keep looking at his pictures, I was able to hold him, and just knowing he is here is a miracle. I am grateful for him and I know that my brother is going to be such an amazing father.
- Thursday, I was begin such a grouch and my roommates where being so kind. They were giving my compliments and taking care of me.
- Bree, my room roommate, made my bed. Obviously it's not how I would have done it, but I don't even care. She is so sweet and wanted to just do something to help be less stressful.
I have seen many miracles in my life and those are just a few that mean a lot to me that happened this week. I know I am pretty lucky!
