  • Oh man I absolutely feel this.

    I’ve been self employed WFH for almost 20yrs now and the lunch-alone struggle has not gotten easier.

    When I do make the effort though, it’s usually worth it.

    Lately I’ve been in a rut where, if I get up from my desk at all, it’s to forage, not prepare a meal. Like, I’ll call a fistful of peanuts or a banana lunch, or some cold fridge meat with mustard and no plate. It’s depressing.

    When I make something colourful and intentional, though, I always feel better. It forces me to get my head out of work mode and take a break, and it’s satisfying to make something that looks and tastes nice. I feel more like a person too, if that makes sense. Not to mention my brain works better when I actually feed it real food, heh

    Like anything, it’s just starting that’s the hard part.
