Fast food nation

I spent most of today furiously working on a job application. My cover letter is pretty sweet as a result! But... after my bowl of cereal first thing in the morning, I didn't have anything real to eat. I made a decadent hot chocolate from a cup of milk and a small slab of delicious dark chocolate that had melted and re-solidified with that strange floury brittle texture: I just put the two ingredients in a mug and heated it very gently for 2-3 minutes in the microwave, taking it out every so often to stir it.

My hunger went past the growling painful point and I just started feeling light-headed with ringing in my ears... so even though I had juice, fruit, cereal, bread (probably stale by now though, I haven't had any in a couple of days), I wanted savory salty protein so I walked down the block to McDonald's. I had a snack wrap and small fries. I feel nauseous now though. I think McDonald's should be saved for those rare occasions after dark when you crave greasy goodness. On an empty stomach it induced nausea, negating how virtuous I felt for having only spent $2.72 on "dining out".
