So it's morning and I'm awake but don't really want to be but I have to wake up and take my pills or else I will have the times all askew again. When I am sleeping for that 2 or 3 hours at a time at least I'm usually having dreams that I am young again and moving around and with my honey or a friend that is not dead and still moving around dancing or walking with me to some fun place. "phew" If that isn't a very long sentence I just wrote, I don't know what is...
I wish I could just drink my coffee and wake up like in the old days or you might say my young days.
I first take my stomach pill cause I know that pain pill is going to hit my stomach like a bomb if I don't. 
, Then after about 20 minutes I take the pain pill, which I wish I had never started but the arthritis just got too much for me to bare without it. Next is stool softener I have learned to take every other day instead of the recommended daily. Cause if I take it daily I end up with diarrhea. Then comes the low dose aspirin, I've come to hate the taste of that. 
Then the Singulair for my breathing, and of course that vitamin.
Thank God I no longer am taking that antibiotic which was obviously useless. 
So there is the morning routine. Do you hate your morning routine?

it seems I am always between diarrhea and constipation. It's always one or the other no matter what I eat.

No, my morning routine is okay. I play on myLot and watch YT videos during the night or edit a manuscript when someone is paying me to do that. At 6 am I go in and wake the fishies up and feed them, then go to the bathroom and take my morning meds. Then I check myLot again and talk with whoever is there for a little while before going to sleep for the day. (I have to get up about every 2 hours during the day to go pee and might check myLot while I'm still awake.) I get up for my "day" around 6 pm and take my evening meds and then check in on myLot again.

@DaddyEvil I think many of us have our days and nights mixed up due to the crazy weather and the pandemic

@bunnybon7 Thanks. Once in a while, like today, I can't get back to sleep and then I might sleep until 10 or 11 pm before getting back to myLot again. *shrug*

Good morning 
ahhh wouldn't it be nice to be able to enjoy our younger days again. I have similar dreams about being able to walk and dance and then I wake up and the darn arthritis reminds me I'm not young anymore

@bunnybon7 I have trouble swallowing tablets so I'm really pleased I don't have to take any.

You have a lot to deal with. Hope all the pills are doing their job.
If it's a day off, I love my morning, which is enjoying my large strong coffee and relaxing.
Work days are a big rush with Hubby saying, "Why didn't you get organized last night?"
.
Under my breath, I am saying, "Why don't you get out of my way?"

yuk, that's awful I imagine. They wanted to add one of those to my medications. It's for stronger bones, right? I'm not sure I could manage sitting up that long with nothing like my coffee, etc.

Getting old is not fun. I take singular. I am used to my morning routine and there are changes at times.

I don't like change either as that usually means more darn pills.

I dont hate my morning routine anymore. I used to when I was working for someone else. Now I run my own business so it's much better. I listen to my favorite radio show while I get ready.
