As feared, I have a new ‘saroma boobie’. The fourth one, in less than a month.
Looking at this really generously, it might be considered a special skill?
I’m able to create a pretty convincing boobie-like structure, approximately every 4 or 5 days now!
All without any training or tools!
It’s such a shame that these body parts are not actually useful to me, or to anyone else either.
Each saroma is basically not much more than a water-bomb (which needs to be calmly and safely deflated - and absolutely not thrown at all, ever).
Unfortunately, there’s not much fun in any of that.
I wish I had made a more efficient recovery after surgery.
For example, a sea cucumber might make a far better job at the healing process than I have done (so far).
Apparently, it takes one of those a mere 4 weeks to fully recover from a 3 mm to 5 mm cut.
To be fair, I have 2 cuts and both are a great deal longer.
Also I realise that I am more sophisticated, on all levels, than a sea cucumber.
More patience is required from me, perhaps.
Octopuses are in a league of their own – for lots of reasons, including regeneration techniques.
Though it may take up to 100 days, they can cleverly replace a lost limb with an improved version of the original.
Yes! That’s more like it!
How wise, turning a disaster into a blessing!
What an inspiration!
I guess I need to somehow merge my own ‘saroma boobie’-making talent with some new octopus magic then?
Then I might be transformed?
Potentially, I could then gain a magnificent upgraded left breast, though it might involve a sacrifice elsewhere …
Ah, that could be an option to think about. Maybe.
