only here until I've finally eaten anything, because I'm a sponge today

[schneefink]

I have Failed Adulting today - I have a new haircut, but didn't eat, or do anything else productive. (Except some D&D prep I probably won't need for two weeks yet.) It's almost midnight and I've only eaten three slices of bread, that's bad, but cooking right now is a bit late - on the other hand, if I don't eat anything now, that would also be bad.
Whyy do I always regress so fast when I don't have external structures to cling to. Arrrgh.

Success, I have eaten something! I forgot that a) I did manage to go shopping today, so I have bread and stuff at home again, and b) I didn't actually need to cook something. Sponge brain.
(Hm, no, bad phrasing because sponge is often used as something that can absorb a lot, which mine today definitely isn't. Seaweed is a nice image, the appropriate amount of *pflatsch*, but "seaweed brain" is Percy Jackson. Pudding brain? Nah, sounds too delicious. ...clearly in its current state my brain isn't up to the task of naming itself.)

Sympathies--I too sometimes have issues remembering to eat. I hope you find something snackish to tide you over until morning. *support support*

Thanks! Only when I was already standing in the kitchen did I realize that I don't have to cook something, I could just eat more bread. Very convenient.

Hee! Yeah, when I'm low on blood sugar my ability to plan meals goes down the drain, so no-cooking food is always a plus. XD

[schneefink]

Indeed! I should keep more dried fruits and stuff around, too. Problem is, they're so delicious that they're always gone so quickly...

If it makes you feel better, I have also Failed Adulting today, in the form of being totally unable to make myself complete a job application that is due today.

[schneefink]

Oh no :( That does not make me feel better, quite the opposite. Has the deadline already passed? There will be more opportunities *hugs*

[monksandbones]

The deadline isn't until 11:00 pm tonight, and I have now actually opened the file with my resume, and am considering finishing the application. I can't believe how insurmountable writing a customized resume seems, though!

I hope you found something more to eat!

[schneefink]

I have eaten something :) I'm good for now, and I'm determined to do better tomorrow. I also said that yesterday.

Good luck with your resume! Job applications suck -.- But better a not-perfect application than none. (I'm bad at that myself.)

I'm glad you ate something! Just the other day I felt so lousy I was trying to figure out if I'd accidentally skipped my meds, and then I realized it was dinnertime I'd eaten barely anything but a protein bar and some applesauce all day. Food can be hard.

Yep! At least when I'm at work or at uni I usually remember to drink enough, for some reason that often doesn't happen at home. Maybe I should do what my flatmate does, she has an hourly alarm reminding her to drink a glass of water.

I'm a great believer in Not Cooking (unless you count microwaving). I always have in the house some sort of prepared starch (pasta, polenta, quinoa, potatoes, or rice), pasta sauce, cheese, and veggies, fresh and frozen. In a real pinch, I'll eat nuts and raisins. Joe suggests keeping tortillas and canned beans on hand.

I do like cooking! I just... tend to overestimate how much energy I have to spare for it. I should probably have more emergency barely-any-cooking-required food at home.
