The Daily Hailey

So. Funny story.

As I was driving to Wavy’s dermatologist appointment yesterday, Brady was already there. Once I was close to the office, we got on the phone and I figured he could talk me the rest of the way. I knew the general area, but since he was already there, I figured he could more seamlessly get me there. He spotted my bus as I got closer, and directed me.

He was a little late on telling me where to turn, and I missed the parking lot. Whoops! No big deal, though, I just circled the little clump of buildings and got to that side again. I turned into the parking lot finally, but didn’t know which office was the one I was going for. I drove past a couple of spots, further into the lot. Brady hesitated and said I’d be better off taking a spot over there, that the spots closer to him were pretty tight. It was already a bit too late, though, so I kept going forward.

He was right that the spots closer to the office were really small, but the parking lot seemed to continue behind the building. I figured I’d just loop it and get back to those original spots.

Aaaaand that was a bad choice.

The back of the building was tight already, and there were cars parked, staggered on each side, but only going one way. I can’t really describe it, but it was VERY confusing, VERY impossible to get around for any vehicle, and VERY against code! It was doable originally, but the last two cars were parked on either side of the “road” too close together. I was stuck. It was SOOO bad, and completely impossible. To make matters worse, the cars were all VERY nice cars. Thankfully, Brady was still on the phone, and volunteered to come rescue me. I took him up on it and said “please hurry.”

What is it about kids who grew up in the country that they can back out of anything?? Well, he can, and did. It got a little hairy with the ice and snow build up, but some patient little adjustments got things sorted out.

What a relief! I was so thankful he was there to help me because that was VERY stressful and VERY tight! They would be wise to throw a “no through traffic” sign up somewhere, because it definitely just looked like you could get out of the parking lot back there! Or everyone could park on one side, lol! Either way.

Aaaaall things considered, we got out and got parked. And then had to back out of our spot when a woman came out, all irritated that our van is big, and she figured she didn’t have enough space to get into her car. Whatever. Parking 🙄 For the birds.
