The prettiest boat that you've ever seen
So I didn't sleep for the last two and a half days, with the result that by evening yesterday I was mentally useless in the extreme. I took a brief walk with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch and caught a very clear southwestern view of the departing conjunction, stared at half of We're No Angels (1955) on TCM, and fell over just after midnight. I estimate that I was asleep by one in the morning. I woke up like a shot at six. After lying in the dark for two hours watching the light come in around the edges of the curtains, I got up. I am still perceptibly tired, but no longer approaching the vegetative. And since then I have fed the cats, drunk a glass of orange juice, and made myself breakfast, which I almost never eat. I'm not sure if I have actually reset my schedule or if my circadian rhythms are just confused to the point where my body thinks we just had dinner, in which case the grilled cheese sandwich with roast beef makes perfect sense, but at the waning end of this our hellscape 2020, I'll take it. It's beautifully sunny outside, frost-snap bright. If it weren't below freezing with a pandemic on, I'd go for a walk.

(Also, sympathies on the sleep thing. At least you got a conjunction moment, though. And dancing stars.)

Partly. Eating at any time of day can make my stomach upset (or just cause me a lot of pain, which is more usual), but I am never hungry on waking and I don't like most conventional breakfast foods. I have to eat for a set of my medications, however, so for years I have shotgunned rice cakes with peanut butter on them and that sort of thing, which I still hate.

Thank you. That was nice!

I have both some waking-up stomach uncertainty, and also a dislike of a lot of conventional breakfast foods. I solved the second part of the problem, for a long time, by just having lunch foods for breakfast.
(But the pain never helps anything.)

In high school, my mother used to shove a bowl of ramen in me before sending me out to catch the bus.

I quite like food in general! But my relationship with it has been sufficiently complicated by my body that at this point I feel I deserve credit for not developing an eating disorder.

I love all conventional breakfast foods and would gladly take your entire share off your hands and give you something you like better in exchange. But conventional breakfast foods do NOT love me.

That is unfair in the extreme.
(How do unconventional breakfast foods treat you?)
