Time, to Eat

Idly wondering why I was feeling so hungry, I realized that all I'd eaten today was a bowl of Cheerios.  About seven hours ago.  Brilliant.  I've kinda been doing that a lot lately; don't really know why.  Is this "pining"?  It's the first I've considered that.  I have always associated pining with some sort of Victorian silliness, not as something real.  Maybe it is.  How interesting.
