my mother gets a map for christmas

So I'm offically doing better. woot.
Spent the entire day without drugs and was able to sit through a full day of getting work done while not being as in pain as i have been recently. it was still there, and i'm still neglecting the hell out of my desktop at home cause the chair kills me, but i'll take what i can get. not taking the painkiller was a big one. go me!
still paranoid about the damn stairs tho.

WATCHMEN ON SATURDAY IN IMAX. FINALLY.

Talked to mom last night, which was good since the last two days have sucked balls for all of us, yet not good at the same time because my mother's a damn empath and she killed my (fake)mood almost instantaneously cause of all the crap on her end. I'm not completely heartless, i do feel really bad for her, but on the other hand, all of this stuff with her ex/semi-ex/wtf is just pissing me the hell off and i have little to no tolerance for it. i'll listen to her for her sake, and keep my tongue for that reason too, but the continuing saga of douchebaggery is just getting a bit past inexcusable.
which is prolly why it bothers me that she keeps excusing it.
*shakes head*

thus to change the subject for her, i mentioned about how it's a real damn possibility now that i'll be going overseas (eeeeee :D) to which she gave a loud and over protective motherly groan (srsly?) that was then followed by this convo:

E: mom, srsly, it's just England, it's not like i'd be going to Africa or anything (again)
Ma:....
E: mom?
Ma: England?
E: er, yah? I told you about this. many times, remember? possibly going to the UK? commissions? convention?
Ma: well, yah, i remember that...but...you said UK.
E:...yes. United Kingdom?
Ma:...
E: what, you didn't realize that?
Ma:...
E: seriously? London, England, Britain, that United Kingdom? the UK.
Ma:...
E: you totally didn't put that together did you.
Ma: hush.

*facepalm*
So this whole time my mother was thinking i was going out to the middle of the desert somewhere in the middle east. for a supernatural convention.
i was adopted.
