#SongoftheDay I Don't Want to Miss a Thing (Aerosmith)
I've probably mentioned this before, but my partner's fatigue is so bad that every morning he gets up, eats breakfast, and then goes back to sleep.
Yesterday, when I was struggling with a migraine, I did the same thing.
The tricky bit about having to take a bunch of meds in the morning is that I have to eat first. I have to eat a lot, or at least eat something very hearty. Usually, that means oatmeal, which takes time to prepare. Many of the pills I take have side effects like nausea and stomach cramps. I'm talking 3 of the 4 pills I took yesterday morning will 100% make me feel completely sick for the rest of the day if I don't take them with proper quantities of food. Taking them "with food" isn't good enough. It has to be enough food and the right food.
Food starts to feel like a prescription. That's an experience my partner and I share, since radiation destroyed his tastebuds. I used to love eating, and now my relationship with food is tricky, because it's so intertwined with taking medications.
Anyway, after I'd eaten all the food I could, I took my meds. By that time, my partner had already gone back to sleep on the couch. I took the bed. We'd both gone back to sleep by 8:45 in the morning.
If you're wondering how you can support me in bringing you songs and anecdotes, the easiest thing you can do is buy my books (most are for adults only!) or check them out from your local library.

Supporting my AudioErotica endeavour on Patreon would also help me hugely.
