Live Every Week Like It’s Shark Week

The Fast of 5769

Posted by: Rachel on: October 9, 2008


@7:28 I’m awake, as usual. Not much to report yet, but I am going to brush my teeth soon. I made the executive decision that it would be ok to keep up with personal hygiene today, even though you are technically not supposed to. I figured it’s one of those rules that’s ok to break. Now is the point in the morning when I usually make coffee and eat breakfast while watching tv. I guess I should go eat some air-cereal and watch CNN (or cartoons depending how depressing the news is today.)

@9:09 I made it to work without coffee. This is kinda a big deal. I really wish I had caffeine though. Or even water. 9:23 until sundown…

@9:55 Parched. I think the thirst issue will get to me more than the hunger issue this year.

@11:01 I just finished one project, and this is when I would usually go take a coffee break. Instead, I’m going to take a mini-walk and let fresh air substitute for caffeine. I don’t think it will work, but it’s worth a shot.

@12:19 I feel like I’m reaching that turning point when it goes from “well, this isn’t so bad” to “omg, I need a sandwich NOW.” I’m starting to get a little hungry, and on a normal day I’d probably be scanning my buddy list looking for a lunch partner or grabbing a snack. It’s not super-intense yet, and my head is still fine, but I can tell that in about an hour I’m going to start to lose it. 6:13 until sundown…

@12:32 I WANT PIE SO BAD RIGHT NOW. I’m not really sure where that came from.

@1:18 It’s a serious problem that all of the printers on this network are named after cheese. I want cheeeeeese.

@3:12 The noises my stomach is making are not ok.

@4:23 I think I’ve reached some type of inner-peace and I feel fine. I felt a lot hungrier this morning than I do now. I’m actually surprised that I don’t have a headache or anything. I guess keeping busy really helps. At the same time, I’m psyched that in two hours my mouth and cheese will totally be reunited.

@5:21 And the hunger is coming back stronger. Maybe the answer isn’t just keeping busy, but thinking. If I’m thinking about other things, I’m not thinking about this. I think as long as I distract myself here for a while, then head home, I’ll get home just in time to eat. I’ve decided to not attend services here because I have not liked them over the past four years, and I’m not going to start now. Instead I’ll blow my own Shofar (er… rape whistle?) at 6:33 and dive in head-first to the cake. 72 minutes until sundown…

@6:08 If I leave here soon and walk slowly, I’ll be home just in time! I don’t plan on updating again until I have eaten!

@9:11 Cake. Jeopardy. Cheese. The Office. Chocolate. I am so happy. Also, a little tired. I’m not sure I can stay awake to watch SNL…
