Well, both the hunger and the tiredness have now subsided somewhat.

Last week both were distractingly strong. I was so sleepy that I actually almost nodded off during the Java course I was attending, several times. Eyelids getting so heavy that it was a physical effort to keep them up – and if I had been anywhere other than a small classroom, I really would have just put my head down on the desk and fallen asleep. But I thought the teacher might not appreciate that. So I guess I just looked really groggy.

Most of that seems to have passed now. I still eat a lot but the hunger is no longer all-consuming. And it’s nice to be able to do something in the evenings, and not just collapse in the sofa. I’ve even started reading a book again.
