Hunger


So Matt mentions to me that he 'just forgot to eat lunch' one day this week.  I stared at him blankly for a few seconds feeling like I can no longer relate to this man.  "Are you kidding?" I asked.  "No", he said and started to tell me about how busy he was.  I tried to imagine for a moment the last time I 'forgot' to eat.  When I get hungry which is almost all of the time these days it is all consuming.  It goes from hungry to nausea quickly but before that, my brain gets involved and I can't carry on adult conversations.  I make grunting noises and have no ability to engage in interactions with anyone else, if someone is not providing me with food they are deemed useless and I cannot generate my usual pleasantries.  If it gets really bad I will physically redirect anyone that is in my way.  So, if I 'forgot' to eat a meal someone would have kindly reminded me.  

I am excited to relate to the non-pregnant population again someday soon.
