My mom and I have a rocky relationship to say the least. I have spent the last four years trying to bridge the gap and make the relationship better.

Today, she called me, and because I’m trying to make it better, I decided to answer. We talked for several hours (I know that may sound like a lot, but we haven’t actually spoken in awhile). Because I find it difficult to talk to her at the best of times, I had a drink. That led to 2, then 3, then probably more. The conversation still took a better turn than expected, and I ended the call. So, after the call, I decided to make myself dinner. I microwaved some scalloped potatoes. Sat down to eat, and my phone rang as I was about to sit. The potatoes were apparently too hot, and spilled on my chest.

I immediately screamed (much to the chagrin of my friend that called), and ripped off my shirt. My chest was blistered. I went to the ER because it hurt and I had nothing to treat it. Turns out, I have myself 3rd degree burns on a small part of my chest. I have ointment to put on it, but basically time is all that will help.

TL;DR: I talked to my mom, got drunk, and got 3rd degree burns on my chest.
