Today I basically just ate to avoid hunger, not because I enjoyed what I was eating. Eating almost seemed like more trouble than it was worth.

That's interesting. Today, I was in full-out manic home con/destruction mode. All I had to eat today, until I called it quits after nearly 12 hours of working was a bowl of tuna salad (I'm an omnivore, so sue me), and I wasn't hungry at all. I just finished a small flatbread pizza for dinner, if only to keep myself from gnawing on my arm in my sleep tonight. Admittedly, I did have a few quick glasses of orange juice, and one Coke (I did quit sodas for a while there, but I'm back 'on the wagon'), but those were all of the calories I consumed between 7:30 AM and 6:30 tonight. About halfway through the day, I also took a 'five hour energy' shot. It looks to be mainly a mega-vitamin supliment with a bit of caffine on the side. The odd thing is that I was working HARD today, only taking a few breaks for less than five minutes each. Now the project that I was working on was essential, almost life-or-death, and I did complete it. It could be that I was just so motivated to complete this project that I just completely ignored any and all signals from my body, from hunger to fatigue. In fact, after dinner, I am still 'rarin to go', so to speak. However as I have to put in a token appearance at the office every now and then, I do need to at least put on the appearance of being at least a semi-sentient hominid early tomorrow morning. So, I do need to turn in soon and get a bit of sleep, otherwise, I could wind up being sent off to learn with the talking Apes at the National Zoo. The 'Deep Relaxation' paraliminal has been a lifesaver these past few days. I do not plan on spending all of my life like this. With my adrenals working overtime, I would probably destroy my kidneys after a while.
Pardon my ramblings. I would clean up my post but I do need to turn in sometime soon...
