A great fruit salad wasn't enough to safe me from a stressful day

MMMM- a great breakfast! Why do I keep forgetting to start my day with all fruits? Probably because I still remember my first experience eating a breakfast fruit salad that left me with a hunger headache way before I normally would have been ready to eat again. I don't seem to have that problem anymore. It could be because I am used to eating less per meal, or that I'm used to the sugars in fruit, or that the ingredidents I'm using now are more suited to my body and tastes.
I juiced tangerines with a mango to get 8 oz. of scrumptious juice. For the salad, I combined two types of melons and added some mango for richness. The mango turned out to be a bit "over the hill" so it wasn't as sweet as the one I had juiced. I took care of that by juicing another tangerine to pour over it, and then sprinkled cinnamun and nutmeg to finish.
Today was a tiring and stressful day, only partly because I'm so terrible at statistics and now have to deal with them as part of my graduate program. I also feel like I'm having allergy symptoms: itchy, watery eyes and congestion. My professor was feeling ill, and a member of my household has a cold, so I hope I'm not coming down with anything. (I'm remarkably healthy and rarely get viruses, despite my long history of horrid eating habits). Anyway, I threw myself into bed after arriving home, having lost my appetite. Now, at 11:30, I'm finally hungry enough to eat and am planning on having a salad using those wonderful, dark spinach leaves. I've been going to bed around 2 or 3 a.m. lately due to studying too late into the night. This will be another one of those nights but will be especially difficult because of my eyes. I will survive....
