The short of it is, yesterday I ate a bowl of cereal and bowl of Easy Mac & Cheese. Yep, that was it. (I know Mom, NOT the diet of champions.) I also woke up at 12:30 in the afternoon. But hey, let me explain.
Monday night was a very busy day, with two local theater auditions (maybe I'll explain this in a future post), and two jam sessions. The last one ended around 3:30am, which meant I didn't get home until 4:30am when you factor in a couple of delays on the Red Line "L". Therefore, waking up at 12:30 the next day (well, technically the same day), means I got my recommended 8 hours of sleep, thank you very much! I probably could have slept longer, except for the fact that I had a reminder alarm go off at that time for an appointment at 1pm.
That being said, I took a quick shower, scarfed down a bowl of cereal (definitely my food of choice), and biked off to my appointment. Upon my return to the apartment a couple hours later, I immediately went into my practice room for my daily saxophone workout.
A few hours later the Mac & Cheese was quickly consumed right before my wife and I headed off to a theater downtown with some free tickets. After the show I rode the bus to a new jam session I hadn't been to (the club is called @North Bar) and stayed until after 1am.
The funny thing is I never really thought about my lack of nutrition, or even basic foodstuff that day, until I was walking home from the Red Line at 2:20am. My stomach was cramping up, and by the second block I realized, You know? I don't think I ate too much today. Hmm.
My wife thinks I'm crazy that there have been days where I'll practice right through lunch and not even remember to eat. I don't know. Maybe music is my food! (Ha ha, lame!)
Though to all of you concerned about my eating habits as of late (I'm talking to you, Mom), don't worry. I did end up eating a third meal yesterday: cereal.
...at 2:30am.
