The Last Supper

It happened accidentally.  Or was it fate?  Who can say?

It all began at 6:30am on the Pacific Coast (9:30am for the East side).  In order to catch a plane in Seattle, we had to drive from Port Angeles to the sound where the ferry crosses.

Said drive = 1.5 hours
Said ferry ride = .5 hours

Then we had to drive to the airport, get through security and basically board our plane right away.  All great timing except for the fact that we didn't really get a chance to eat.  I had a small bowl of oatmeal on the ferry around 9am, and our plane took off at 11:30am PCT.

Airport shenanigans = 2 hours
Actual plane trip = 5 hours due to lots of traffic at DTW

This puts us at 7pm EST by the time we finally land, and my tummy is all but begging for food at this point.  That little comp cookie they gave me on the plane disintegrated before it reached my stomach. Because the airport was so backed up, we had to wait another hour before my boyfriend's checked bag was unloaded from our flight.  Tag on another hour for getting lost in Detroit and taking many detours due to construction.

By this point, it is 9pm and I am a hungry bear.  I got to the point where my boyfriend asks me if I'm "going to start killing people."  I was lost in a big city and too hungry to think.  The best solution I could think of?  Burger King.

Oh yes, friends.  I gorged myself on fast food.  I was so hungry that I ended up having two double cheeseburgers.  That's a lot for me considering I can only make it through one when we actually do eat out.  I paid for it later, but man, that calmed me down.  Turns out those two cheeseburgers plus the not diet drink I had put me well over 1,000 calories.  This would normally freak me out, but I justify it by barely eating at all today.

I feel gross having not consumed fast food in over a month, but I figure that it's a good reminder that I truly won't be missing much.  Can't wait to go food shopping tomorrow for produce and other delicious things.  But for now, I'm going to curl up in bed and nurse myself back to normal.
