Do other people really get hungry and then just…eat?

Meanwhile, I’m over here so focused on something that I’ll suddenly realise it’s late afternoon and I haven’t had any food or even a glass of water all day.

If I check the kitchen and nothing feels “right”, my hunger magically disappears and I get distracted by something else.

Thankfully, my husband often works from home and has become very skilled at reminding me to eat or simply placing food in front of me before I accidentally spend an entire day running on fumes and the hangry sets in—though I’m pretty sure some of his efforts are simply self-preservation because I can get a little bitchy when I don’t eat.

At this point, I suspect he’s keeping me alive through a combination of love, patience, and snacks.
