Red Bottomed Bee

I decided not to start taking the prescribed 10mg Amitriptyline last night, but today I'm rather feeling like I might reconsider my reluctance this evening. I know many people here will be dealing with pain, and everyone's is unique and experienced individually, so I hesitate to be too needy. 

But ow! Ow, ow, bloody ow!

The weather matches my mood, too, today. Overcast, dreary and gosh, was I complaining about 40ºC a little over a week ago? But for the bees there is no let-up, and this red bottomed chap is hard at it in the lavender. Red edges to the legs too. Not the clearest shot, but even with image stabilisation I'm a bit wobbly today.
