Okay: fully re-fueled!

I went for a, like, 5.3? mile run after work and felt great for the duration and the subsequent shower, but then I hit critical HP pretty much immediately. The laggy, can't-brain kind of hungry where you're liable to just wander from room to room instead of eating because you can't figure out how to make food anymore. (Incidentally, I don't really get how so many people I know have a hard time remembering to eat. I understand the phenomenon intellectually, but in terms of experience, I can't relate: When I miss a meal, shit gets real dark real quick.)

So then I went and got a breakfast burrito and a Mexican Coke, the end. But rewind: Going to Cha3 meant biking, and I was starting to approach not being competent to ride, so I chewed up some peanut butter and a slice of cheese first. Magic burst of energy and smarts! Which reminded me of the most recent Radiolab! Which originally made me think of Rock Lee when I heard it, but never mind that. Anyway, one of the things they get into in the early portion is that, you know that instant revitalization you get after a bite of food when you're really really hungry? Apparently, according to the theory, that's basically your reserve limiter floating you a post-dated check loan. I find that unbelievably awesome and felt like sharing.

I manage to not eat so often because I'll get caught up in doing whatever it is I'm doing, and I'll tell myself that I'll eat once I finish....

And then I finish, and I've passed that point where I have the energy to actually do anything about it.

So then I don't end up eating at all.
