Health Updates: Why do I even have evening pills π (Patreon)

Do you ever procrastinate taking medications, even if you're supposed to take them "at the same time" every day...? Me neither... π π«£
I honestly could not possibly begin to explain the sheer dread I experience when my alarm goes off to remind me to take my pills in the evening if I'm not already up and close to my pill case. The frequency with which I snooze my alarm for an hour or longer instead of just taking my meds is... higher than the frequency with which I take them within 20 minutes of the alarm π«£
My morning pills I'm usually somewhat decent at taking on time; within about 15 minutes most days. I think the discrepancy comes partially because I'm just drained from the day in the evenings, but primarily because I feel like the evening pills aren't that important π π
The only pill I actually have to take in the evening is a prophylactic migraine medication that I've been on for nearly two years and haven't noticed a difference since being on them. If anything, my migraines last year were actually worse than they had been (I don't think it's a result of the medication; likely a weather thing). But in order to ensure there's no confusion over which drug is helping with the migraines lately (the Botox, or the pills), my neurologist wants me to keep taking the pills until the Botox is more consistent π Laaaaaaame
I do take 3 pills in the evening, but it's just 2 vitamins, and it's for two reasons: 1. so I'm not taking 8 pills in the morning (I take all my morning pills at the same time, so...8 pills is manageable, but not fun π π¬), and 2. to motivate me to take the one pill I have to take in the evening. BECAUSE WHAT'S IT EVEN DOING ANYWAY π
Anyway, I think it's dumb, so I put it off π I mean... no I don't... I always take my pills on time. Like a responsible adult...
