DD Kimball Road: Adventures of DDJ otherwise known as "This is an Insane Asylum!"

We are back from our relaxing yet eventful trip to the lake. So eventful that I am going to have to post this in parts.

Day 0 - Otherwise known as the adventures of DDJ, started out with D taking the pup over to my in-laws while I finished packing. J was to pick us up at 1030 to get the rental. Once he arrived we headed over to Enterprise and of course had to wait! In the heat and humidity we stood, chatting about what we plan to do and all the fun things in store. While waiting their I discovered that I will not be using a specific car repair shop in our valley due to the high attitude that he expressed to us in the short 20 minutes we were their. None-the-less....we got the rental and headed to finish our errands. Stocking our food for the weekend....what should have only take 20 minutes turned into over an hour because of Walmart.....or the other hell on earth. Why? We stood in line.....at 1pm on a Thursday for over 30 minutes! Redic! We head back to load up, say our goodbyes and hit the road. The drive up was relatively short and uneventful. Once we arrived, with full bladders, to the Lumberyard (a local weekend spot with "World Famous Burgers") we decided to make a pit stop and have dinner. Best freaking burger of my life and it was a big as ye head! We relaxed a bit, got a flyer for the weekend events and then headed up to the house.

Here's where things get a little harried. We pull up to the house....dark with only the full moon and our mag-light to help us find the keys. J is looking everywhere for these keys. He comes back to the truck and says...."Ok, we have a problem. I can't find the keys." He calls his uncle (which is a task in itself trying to find the one area on the whole property that gets cell service) and asks that we stay in his trailer that night because the home owners weren't going to be arriving until late the next day. His uncle, who is already on his way says to him, "Well that's gonna be a problem cause the keys to the trailer are in the house." His uncle says that he's going to give the home owner a call and we sit on baited breath to hear back. J looks at us and says, "Well we might be sleeping on the lawn chairs tonight."

Now I am fine with the sleeping outside thing, but I have never been a good outside bathroom user. I can't even hover. I suck as a girl I know....but I had this feeling that something wasn't right with me and I really needed to have a toilet. BAD! J's uncle calls back to let us know where the key was and finally we were let into the house and I bee-lined it to the potty. My suspicions were confirmed.....U.T.I. Day freaking 0 of our vacation....45 miles from civilization, hardly and cell reception and I have a goddamn U.T.I. I am praying that it's just dehydration so I pound a bottle of water and start on a second while we open up the house, pull out cushions and make sure everything is good with the trailer. 2 hours later, I know that it's not dehydration....full blown U.T.I. symptoms and I am in serious pain. I pop a pain pill and prop up my phone to the window to call my mom to help locate a pharmacy. Hopefully my doc will just fax over a script and I can be on my merry way. We find a Costco and get the numbers and we hit the hay....not before I take another pain pill (those lovely ones that turn things.....yellow) because the first one wasn't cutting it.

I awake the next morning, and immediately call my docs office. I explain my situation and ask if my doc could fax over an antibiotic to the Costco. The receptionist proceeds to tell me that my doc is on vacation.....YAY!!... and that she will leave a message with the on call doctor to see if she will fill the script. I wait an hour on a call back, so I call to see what's going on, because if I have to find an urgent care I wanted to go early. Well she goes to ask the doc if she will fill the script, and because the doc has never seen me before she denies it. Ok, so in the car we go to the most entertaining trip to Urgent Care ever. Once we hit cell service, D looks up the nearest one. We arrive and its a hospital E.R. Um.....I really didn't want to pay E.R. premiums to pee in a cup, so I asked where the closest U.C. was. I was given directions and a hop, skip and a jump block over to the U.C. While I am filling out my paper work, we are listening to a very entertaining woman. She is going on and on with the staff about them needing to hurry up and "what's taking so long?" Apparently she was needing a prescription re-fill. When they asked for her doctors information so that they could verify that the prescription is valid, because nobody ever forges a prescription! HA! She proceeds to become even more irate when they tell her the information. The whole waiting room was silent. Waiting for the explosion...."You people are crazy! I don't know why you need all of my information! THIS IS AN INSANE ASYLUM!" and then proceeds to storm out of the office. As she does a woman sitting next to me exclaims, "I think you need to be in one!" J, who was outside and missed everything inside, comes in and proceeds to tell us how she jumped into a cab screaming "They won't help me here!!!!" Apparently the poor cab driver looked less than pleased and drove away while rolling up his windows. After all is said and done, I get my pills and was on my way to feeling better.

The rest of the day was slightly uneventful...which was good because we had enough events in a 12 hour span. We had dinner at the Lumberyard, went for a sunset cruise (ahem booze cruise!) and then watched the blue moon. I got some photos of the blue moon, but they weren't "blue." Please enjoy the photo's from Day 1, and stay tuned for the other parts! :-)
