Gradually, I have been eating my lunch earlier and earlier each day.  I’m not sure if it is a hunger issue or a food within arm’s reach issue or what.  The reason really doesn’t matter, since I know that when I run out of food that’s it.  Cut me off.  Time to wait until dinner fella.

Well, this morning, I was really going to town on lunch…  at about 9:30.  Salad?  Gobble.  Apple?  Gobble.  Reuben sandwich?  Yep, yummy Reuben sandwich gobble.

Satisfied at some level, I sat back to write something profound on the computer and wait until dinner…  a mere nine hours or so in the future.  Hang in there fella, you can do it.

Well, I did it.  I made it home.  I placed my lunchbox on the counter.  I began emptying the contents, in preparation for a mental shift to dinner.

The lunchbox was full of the usual suspects.  Tupperware, utensils, and half a Reuben.  What?!?  Half a yummy Reuben uneaten!  Half a Reuben had actually survived my blackout 9:30AM foodfest.  Unlikely, but true.  The facts were indisputable, as the delightful sandwich sat before my wanting eyes.

Enjoy your little respite, tasty meat on bread.  My dear half a Reuben, tomorrow at lunch, you will keep me well fed.

Hang in there, fella.  You can do it.  Remember, lunch is now served at 9:30AM.
