An Almost Empty Wine Glass

We used to drink a half glass of red wine every evening before dinner. That stopped mid way through the pandemic. We just didn’t have a taste for it anymore. Now we have a small amount of wine on special occasions - which are rare - or every once in a while at home. But since my husband has started taking a new medicine, that has changed things up again. This medicine puts him to sleep and zaps out his energy. That’s why he takes it before he goes to sleep. But oftentimes there is a residual effect. And, we are also trying to figure out if there are any dietary issues that are exacerbating his problem. That could include wine, tomatoes, coffee, chocolate and a host of other things. So it’s not a great idea to drink something that can also make you tired. So every once in awhile - especially if there is a bottle open - we have a glass of wine. Except now I have the usual less than half glass, and he barely has a swallow. I’m not sure if or when he will ever be able to eat and drink the things that we always did. Things could be a lot worse. Right now it’s just a big inconvenience.
