Creations After Midnight

So, because I do not have a gallbladder (write that down; that could be important), I have the eternal annoyance of distressed gut pain now and then.  It's bad, it's very bad.  And is VERY disruptive.

Now, I also get--wait for it--kidney stones.  I've gotten them since I was in my mid 20's.  Since I was already grouchy from disruptive pain thanks to no gallbladder, I just HAD to blurt out (to my mother), "I'd rather have the f***in' kidney stone."

Guess what.

Well, of course.  And that's coffee up there, by the way.  Which I managed to pass the little f***er by drinking lots of (I've done this before).

It's a rule: if it's a kidney stone or any other hideously painful thing, the cuss jar is non-existent here.

Now, then.  Below are two animations that the length of time taken to make them is plenty of time for a kidney stone to interrupt me.  One of these days, when my kidney spits out another stone (and it WILL spit out another stone at some point) while working on stuff like this, I might end up accidentally recording a sound clip of myself saying through gritted teeth, "Can'tyouseeI'mBUSY??!"

Seriously, though.  I'll only give 'em coffee for so long unless and until I notice any more serious symptoms.  At that point, I do not mess around.  What lunacy erupts when it's me is just that--me.  That doesn't mean it should or will work for you if you have kidney stones yourself.  Let me be clear: if you do have the misfortune of getting a kidney stone, YES, get to a doctor.  ER, Urgent Care--GO.  Things can turn serious very quickly if that thing so much as gets stuck and won't budge.  

Anyway, some graphics.  Nuthin' special.  Just some new sh--stuff.

Just a bit of rebranding and reorganizing.  These are animated versions of graphics I created for use mostly on social media.  They also function on websites and blogs.
