So, I had Saturday off... This is a rare occurance and I was really looking foward to going out to Christine's cabin. Matt and I got a late start on Friday due to when I got off work (and my having had "words" with one of the older guys at work) and then when we got out there, Christine, Ian, Laurel, Trevor, Ken, Elaine, Sandra and Bethany were already there. We hung out and roasted marshmallows and made Smores and took turns chasing off bugs with the "electric" bug zapper (it looks like a tennis racquet) and chatting. Around 10 or so, because Ken had to work fairly early the next day, Laurel, Ken and Elaine left. Trevor had his tent set up and the rest of us slept inside. The rest of us hung around outside by the fire until closer to 11 or 11:30 and at one point Ian and Trevor were talking about stars supernova-ing and the denseness of iron particles and how they are bad for computers. I could follow most of the conversation but it was amusing because as they were talking about it, almost everyone else stood up and went inside. :D We all went to bed around 11:30 and I could still hear Sandra and Christine giggling and talking until waaaay later.... We got up for breakfast the next morning around 7:30. Ian had made breakfast and there was scrambled eggs, bacon (of course!), cheese and fresh fruit. It was SO early to be up (I don't DO 7:30am on a Saturday morning normally...) but it was fun to have breakfast with everyone. After breakfast both Bethany and I went back to sleep for a while and then I just kind of hung out in the room and read and such while everyone else went for a walk and visited the llama's. The bad point of the day for me was when I was coming down the stairs with my stuff and I slipped... one of my feet slipped on the carpet and I started to lose my balance and I grabbed the railings on both sides. I managed to drop the glass I was carrying and it shattered all over the place which really upset me... Christine and Ian both said that they were glad that it was the glass and not me... I did manage to stop myself and I twisted my knee, ankle and foot and got my foot caught between the bannister bars. Trevor left earlier to go biking, Bethany had a wedding to go to and the others were going swimming but I had made plans to go shopping with Emily and Tammy and Matt was pretty tired so we left. I noticed as we were driving back into the city that my toe was slightly bleeding around the toenail on the big toe and after Matt dropped me off, I went to the walk-in clinic to get it looked at. I have a requisition for x-rays if my foot is still bothering me on Tuesday (I was told to give it a couple of days) and I'm supposed to keep my toe wrapped with guaze and polysporin and watch it for infection. (I hate doctors...:P)
I went shopping with Tammy and Emily and we stopped at Axe so Tammy could pick up a guitar stand and a couple of picks and so Emily could see where I work. When we got to the mall, we spent a little while in A-E and ran into Shannon, Stephanie and "Mom" and then we stopped at Bentley and said "hi" to my co-workers and got my schedule for this week and Em got a money belt for her trip to Turkey. After that we spent close to two hours in Old Navy. As Emily "played Barbie" with Tammy and I in A-E, I did the same with both of them. At the end of the day, Tammy ended up buying a couple of tank tops, a couple of strapless tops and a pair of jeans. (She also replaced her bubble machine while we were at the mall.) Emily got two new bikini tops and a new set of bottoms, a skirt, a pair of shorts, a shirt and a set of sunglasses. I got a couple of shirts, a new bathing suit, two pairs of flip flops and a necklace. We had a ton of fun and grabbed dinner at the mall before heading for THING.
THING last night was really good. Adrian's talk was really well done and touched on a lot of amazing points and many people could relate to what he was saying. He brought up the point that many people are Humans "Being" rather than Humans "Doing" and he made reference to the song "Jesus Freak" (I <3 that song!) and talked about judgment. The small group I was part of had a really good discussion and it was really well handled by Tammy (who I was coaching). I went for prayer with Tammy and Laurel as I have been feeling frustration about some things and I am in quite a bit of pain... Emily spent most of the night hanging out with Eckley and they seem to have formed a friendship of sorts. Afterwards, we went to Moxie's at Westhills and Tammy and I sat with John and Shauna. Emily sat with Matt, Kirsten, Eljse, Eckley and Jordan. At the end of the night, I drove Emily home and then stopped and put gas in my car and picked up gauze, polysporin, tape and ibuprofin. I came in and went straight to bed, I was exhausted. When I got home, my knee and ankle were throbbing really badly...
Today I woke up fairly early and finished the book I have been reading for the past week and a bit. (It was one of those two novels in one book things and it was a good read...) I had a shower, rewrapped my toe and wrapped my ankle with a tensor and went to work. Work was okay today, I vaccumed the store and wiped counters and such and called the lessons for tomorrow and got to hang out with the guys which was cool. The day went by pretty quickly which was nice. :) The guys commented about my "cute younger friend" and it was... weird... :P (Em needs a part-time job but I think she'd end up corrupted or hit-on more than she needs to be after working there.)
Tonight, I met my mom to pick-up groceries and because I haven't seen her in a week and a half and as we were in Co-op, some guy who works there came out of the stock room and wasn't paying attention and took the corner too fast and the boxes fell off and hit me. (There were three or four large boxes with toilet paper or paper towel or kleenex or something in them...) One corner of one box caught me in the small of the back and another caught me in the back of the neck. The guy said, "oops! Sorry!" and grabbed the boxes and continued on. (If I had been standing any closer to the shelf in front of me, I would have hit my head...) At that point, my mom had seen the whole thing and asked if I was ok and when I said I wasn't she told me to go say something at Customer Service. I did and they took down my name and phone number so they can contact me once it has been looked into and I talked to the manager and was told if I end up seeking medical attention to call.
I came home and planned to chill by myself but Matt and Laurel came over and we are watching "Glory Road" and I'm going to go to bed early. I work 12-9 tomorrow and I can sleep in which is going to be excellent! :)
