Only in the moment, quick rush of pain-relief hormones.
Can't do opiates or a TENS machine and I don't drink any more.

Might do more response pics with a theme. They're quite soothing to make.

Also, as a couple of people have asked, please feel free to use my pics if they feel appropriate. Not a problem. All I ask is that you leave my tag on, and tell people where they came from if asked 😁

Related, I think there is research about how swearing can be helpful in pain management...

With a few modifiers such as F RIGHT off, perhaps F right the (insert adverb here) hell off: deferably.

All that's changed in maybe ten years is I lack self control over previously distasteful language.
Pain Relief / frustration, hard to tell any more.
Dial up the mercury and I am a tinderbox; a particularly foul mouthed one at that.

I quite like ATCANF 😆

On a big screen the version here is a bit blotchier than it should be (but the same image fine on my website, so is definitely some extra compression on upload to Mastodon). Given that most people probably see it on their phone I might put it in the "och, it's fine" category for now.

Really, you wouldn't believe how much I changed from basically never swearing much to a use of language that would make pirates blush. All due to politics.

Would you be okay with other people (me, I mean me) use it once in a while? If so, how would you like to be credited?
More than okay if not, this is your work.

Need to try and work out how to avoid that, but I realise I am too tired for my brain to work it out now. The version on my site is much clearer.

Hmm.

Something for tomorrow. First, sleep.

Night all! 💤
