Uh-oh. All I had to eat today was a piece of toast, and now I'm developing a headache & my guts are getting all squirmy. This is not a good sign.

Always happens. I postpone exhaustion all semester long, & then at the end I'm ready to fall apart.

@pzmyers geez, you'd think a biologist would know what happens when organisms are deprived of nutrients. But nooooooo....

Seriously, though, go cook something tasty, or go somewhere where someone will cook you something tasty. Restaurants are still open (even Morris can't shut down this early) and it ain't snowing. Regardless, obtain tasty food and put it in your face. You deserve it after the long slog.

@pzmyers
The stress is all that kept you going!

I think it's the same mind-over-matter effect that leads to a spike in deaths in January, after old people keep on living for one last family Christmas and then let themselves go (and die) once the milestone is reached.

Me, I get fluoid symptoms after major work projects or travelling holidays. C'est la vie.
