I keep wondering.

*shrugs*

I wonder a lot, though, so I suppose this is nothing new.

For example, I am currently wondering why I can taste blood in my mouth every time I cough. *wry grin*

The ONE nice thing about horrible physical health - it makes a great distraction from horrible mental health. This is a very simple concept:

The more you hurt in any one way, the less you notice your pain in any other way.

This is the theory behind banging your head against a wall when frustrated. This is the general idea behind Cutting. This is a major point of most BDSM encounters. This is why when you stub your toe, you forget for a moment that your head aches.

Particularly if your toe is ingrown and you can't even walk for a moment after stubbing it. *wry grin*

You with the addictive speech patterns - thank you for the email. *hugs* Needed that.
