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

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.)

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.
