i'll get better eventually

i woke up slightly less hurt, chauffer'ed my mum around (having to turn my shoulders to look in my blindspot) and then went for massage therapy. the man subjected my neck and back to some incredible pain, explained a whole bunch of things and warned me to start taking it easy.

apparently one of the curves of my spine isn't curved enough, which is a good explanation for the amount of strain the connecting muscles enjoy. and i've managed to damage two major tendons in my shoulders, most likely snowboarding.

i went to pick my mother up from work, which took a little longer than expected. she gave the company notice a few weeks ago and was unhappy that they'd demanded more notice than they deserved - now they've fired her. way to go, government-run institution! they got her to hate her job, and then fired her when she'd already quit. ingenious!

there were some things i wanted to do this afternoon, but instead i passed out reading and have just spent an hour or two scanning news and learning about io9.com, where i was blown away by eerie robotics and the original jetsons.

in other news: light miniaturization!
