Comment on Hashi’s by Patricia Smith

I symphatize with you having Hashimoto’s. I found out once I was living in Paris. Although I never had any of the symptoms that it calls for, I was always rather “bitchy”, to say the least, and now I can attribute that to the disease. It does get better, hope you have a good doctor. Mine only gives me a prescription for 1 month at a time, so I have resorted to just popping into a pharmacy and asking for levothyroid without a prescription, and it seems to work. The only problem that isn’t resolving itself is that awful weight gain, although maybe it’s the stopping at Amorino on a daily basis that does it. Keep well, and remember not to eat any dairy until 1 hour after taking your pill. You will feel much better shortly.

Pleeeeeeeeeeaaase come over to mine for a bit of a dust and vacuum? I’ll provide refreshments, Chicklet entertainment and will be ever so grateful! And yes, I also suffer from the ‘I think they’ll think that I am not coping’ syndrome, except I cannot seem to muster the might required to keep up with it all! Yes, I did have my neighbour come in the other day to laundry all over the place, the kitchen looking like a bomb had hit it, my darling son bare bottomed crawling about the floor managing to avoid all of the debris from his dinner, which he had so skillfully slung all over the place only moments before… embarrassed? Moi?

Congrats! What wonderful thrilling news. Hope to see a photo (or a name?) of the little Cutie in these parts soon. The breast feeding bonanza sounds awful, I bound down in awe at your dedication. Xxx

after having lived in egypt for three years, every time i see a man in shorts now, i immediately think that any self-respecting egyptian man wouldn’t be caught dead in these ghastly garments. i have developed a serious aversion and allergy towards men in shorts, no matter the occasion. i can’t help but cringe. it is the antidote of elegance. i am young, but i can’t stand the casual, sloppy look of pastel-colored half-pants partnered with sneakers the size of a house. and slowly those awful western hip fashions are beginning to penetrate into egypt, because i see young men increasingly adopting this most unfortunate look. it has been so nice to walk for hours through the busy streets of Cairo in a beautiful sea of long dark-colored pants, and dress shirts, only occasionally being interrupted by pockets of foreigners, to be spotted from miles away in their shiny whites, so completely unaware how ridiculous they look. seriously. i have decided to only visit the West in the winter to be spared this painful onslaught of ugly pastels and unshapely naked legs everywhere. not to mention the embarrassing cleavage of many women.
i got spoiled being in Egypt. it has a changing effect. it really makes you realize how personal the naked flesh is. not to be hung out and about compulsively, but to honor as something sacred. oh, how i would have loved to live in the golden age.

this is the best ice cream place in Paris. i had the same addiction than with Bertillon 20 Years ago before it becomes famous and therefore industrialise most of its production. Vasavasa is really worth a visit. It is fabulous.

[...] it all in and enjoy, rather like watching a film. Occasionally though, somebody surprises me (like intergalactic Grandma) and I’m shaken out of my reverie. This takes quite some doing as I have been consciously [...]

I (luckily) have not noticed an oily taste in any of the gelato or sorbetti I’ve had! Sounds like I’ll have to try out Pozzetto and Berthillion too though.

Ooh, the hardship
