Reach exceeding grasp…

One thing I haven’t been entirely clear on is how hunger is treating me. In general, I’m saying the hunger level is low, but that’s probably biased by when I’m writing. Some have a tendency to remember the difficult moments and cling to them; I probably remember things being easier than they were. So, for posterity, I’ll say that I’ve had moments of extreme hunger verging on fears of death. But they quickly pass.

The thing that I’m excited about and anxious for is the pending loss of electricity and communication. Minimizing these things is not hard. Going in their absence is something else. To re-iterate, tomorrow is the last day I will be using any foreign energy source intentionally.
