Almost Time
I haven't been eating, lately.
I've been headache-y.
And just now, I felt a need to close the curtains and take a nap in the gloomy darkness.
I'm going to break soon.
My experimental fast that is. My two suitemates have been fasting for Ramadan, during which they don't eat or drink or chew gum when the sun is up for 30 days. They get by, by waking up before 5:30 am to get some breakfast in for the day and then not again until 6 or so.
I tried it today :), I couldn't bring myself to wake at 5:30 am...i kept setting the alarm phone for later and later times...6:30, 7, till i got up around 8:30. Had a half cup of honey nut cheerios and began fasting at 9. I didn't give up my meal swipe though (you'll be proud. I actually picked up some banana nut granola, rice crackers and a snickers bar and was able to watch as my friend ate her chicken avocado wrap). I noticed that I detected the smell of food better (oatmeal cookies never smelled so good as i walked past Commons). And now i'm excited about what I'll eat for dinner and dessert :) Yay! sunset was timed for 6:28 pm.
Haha, and yah about the opening statements up there, they're all true....i haven't felt it so much in my belly but more in a slightly squeezey feeling in my head. And fatima and amy and I napped in the common room in the darkness of the closed curtains.
