So my head feels funny when my body is sugar deprived, but I don\u2019t think my body is sugar deprived, but my brain might be.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s times like these I depend on my to-do lists. I can\u2019t concentrate, can\u2019t get motivated, so it\u2019s times like these I go to the list and just do what\u2019s on \u2018em one by one. Make the bed. Wash the dishes, fold the laundry. There\u2019s a metaphor there. Fat me is in charge of what getting-skinny me is supposed to do. I don\u2019t know what skinny-me\u2019s role is. There\u2019s probably a metaphor in there too.<\/p>\n<p>Just now I had a cup of green tea while doing the Tuesday NYT X-Word using an R2-DS pen we got in some box of cereal, while listening to all of the They Might Be Giants songs I own on shuffle in my iPod touch. Now I\u2019m writing this. Next: pull-ups and push-ups, a bunch of work stuff, 750 words at 750 words.com, floss my teeth, sort my inboxes, the daily doodle, the daily Lego photo.<\/p>\n<p>And then I\u2019m going to go try and fix a dishwasher. And then come home and eat tuna and soup. I might save the writing for after the tuna and soup.<\/p>\n<p>My head is in a fog, but not a regular fog. It\u2019s like tunnel vision but backwards, like I can only see peripherally, and nothing is easy to focus on. Don\u2019t worry: I did the dream test, where you read something and then look away and read it again, so I know I\u2019m not having one of those dreams where tangents lead to tangents lead to tangents.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I\u2019m diabetic!
