I don’t even know anymore man. I have been without my (probably already too low dose) thyroid meds for weeks, getting sicker and sicker, because my doctor doesn’t want to prescribe me more without a blood test, and fair enough.
I’m real behind on getting the tests they’ve ordered, bc the lab that does the blood draws is only open while my wife works and I am sure as hell not going to drive myself when I am a fainting risk on a day when I have not had several vials of blood yoinked out of me. That’s my bad.
But then my wife finally gets off work so I can give them my blood, and when the results came back… they did not test my fucking thyroid hormones. I do not get meds, STILL. I’m basically couch bound lately, I am in constant pain, my hair is falling out, I’m so cold all the time, and I can’t do anything that requires actual thinking because my brain doesn’t work, and my doctor is not giving me meds that help all that because they don’t have results for a blood test they did not order.
I want to bite someone but I simply do not have the energy.

🎶 i don’t know why I am the way I am 🎶
but I listen to the saddest music ever created on the face of the earth, the most gut wrenching, hair tearing, ugly crying music created by the saddest people to walk the face of this planet
but I listen to this stuff with a straight face like “light work.” like no,, I wish I could cry in a corner and sob to moon song but I can’t I’m too busy vibing.
and I recognize that it’s really sad and I listen to the lyrics but I’m dancing round my bedroom listening to my punisher vinyl and singing “you couldn’t have stuck your tongue down the throat of somebody who loves you more” like 🤗🤗
“but you know I’d stand on the corner embarrassed with a picket sign if it meant I could see you when I die” 💃💃

ok paris trip! cheeky summary :-) (limited by image count lol)
we went up to the artists streets bc i wanted to see the big church and i was fully charmed by the buildings, different areas have very different charms to them. i took a lot of photos of fragments of buildings like these two. i always take pictures like this, the charm of a city comes through in the life reflected in ordinary houses
also big church. pretty. i dont follow Christianity but they sort of went off with the architecture
TWO pyramid selfies for your viewing pleasure. i didnt know there was an upside down one as well! i also did a really bad job at aligning my hand to the pyramids ndjshdjddn
louvre. i love a statue. miss venus was so incredible in person.
this was my second favourite statue(tte?) in the louvre. after miss venus. its from mexico 300-400AD and its a little fella with a WARRIOR INSIDE.
and on the final day we went to the eiffel tower. the scale of it is always insane to me, they have this other teeny eiffel tower built near it which looks big when youre next to it. then the further away you get the scale of the real eiffel tower becomes evident (its in the second photo, on the right behind the trees)
tumblr has limited me to 10 photos :( so not pictured: me getting immediately addicted to petit déjeuner with cafe créme, the teeny apartment out of the city centre we were staying, with a bistro where a guy gave me a free shot of limoncello because it was my birthday:)) the fancy dinner we went to, the selfies i took with liberty leading the people (!!!!), the little video i took blowing a kiss to spain, photos of other tourist-y and less tourist-y areas, the 100 other louvre photos i took 😂

just re the british chinese food discourse - the british library has this great audio clip and transcript from Woon Wing Yip who came to the UK from Hong Kong in the 1950s - he started out in restaurants & later started a chain of supermarkets. here's their transcript -
Wing Yip discusses Chinese restaurants:
The Chinese restaurant - we came the right time, in the right place and do it right. That's why so many Chinese. Up to the middle sixties, after nine o'clock or in the evening, you go out for a meal, there are two places you go - either you buy fish and chips which closes at ten o'clock, half past ten, or you go into a hotel where the last order is half past nine. Or you could go to Wimpey cafeteria. The Chinese came along, opened a restaurant and we put a carpet down, we put a tablecloth down. Before that restaurant, you only got a carpet and a tablecloth and a waiter service only in hotels, which were beyond ordinary means, ordinary people's means and they close half past nine. And other than that, Wimpey, cup of tea, a bun or fish and chips. The Chinese bring the tablecloth, carpet, lower it and bring the fish restaurant up above it, right hit the niche market. Open eleven o'clock - the pub close half past ten, eleven. The last order in the pub is eleven, we open half past eleven so we hit it. At the right time, doing the right thing and do it right. And for the first time, the British had more money to spend, from middle sixties on. Right hit it on the nail.
...
In Yorkshire bread and butter - everyone come in and wanted bread and butter as well. They wanted curry chicken and rice and with bread and butter. Curry, something, bread and butter, mixed grill bread and butter, everything bread and butter. We had a little department attached to the tea and coffee side, got two English ladies that every day for two, three hours, doing bread and butters. You know, for two hours for lunchtime - everybody bread and butter. When the menu, we say 'curry chicken and chips, or rice'. To begin with a lot of people were like 'curry chicken, and chips', not rice - and bread and butter. The chef made the curry sauce, the chef buy the curry powders, and with the other few powders, get together spices, put the onions, orange peel everything, they boiled it for hours, mixed them. Very good.
What other things were on the menu?
Half Chinese, half English. Mixed grill, fillet steak, pork chop, omelettes. No Chinese restaurant outside London would not have English menu because they're still in the process of changing. That's why the Chinese do it right - we can not say in 50s, 60s and 70s, say you had had Chinese food. Say 4 people come in, if 3 of them want Chinese, 1 do Chinese, the second has omelette or salad or something. We do it right, we don't insist to say you have to have Chinese. Food is a culture, food is a culture - you cannot change people in one year. In those days, in those days in the 50s, I think a lot of people never had Chinese food before. They go in the Chinese restaurant because the other English restaurant close at half past nine, their last order, so they came out after half past nine they go to Chinese restaurant and they ask for mixed grill - in Yorkshire mixed grill is very popular.
Did people ever make negative comments about Chinese food at that time?
Oh yes, they say a lot of things, they say a lot - the main thing, we're standing outside, there's a menu, they say 'sweet and sour pork', everybody think, 'sweet and sour pork? Sweet and sour?' They are very sarcastic. They couldn't understand how can a thing be sweet and sour at the same time. Until they taste it - it is.

David Fong's Closing After Over 60 Years
David Fong opened his chow mein take-out spot in Bloomington in 1958 and opened a full scale restaurant at 9329 Lyndale Avenue in 1966. The restaurant is still running today, but second-generation owner Ed Fong announced recently that they would be closing later this summer, after more than 60 years of business.
David Fong, born in Hong Kong, China, moved to Minneapolis with his mother and sister in November 1949. His father, Lee Fong, who arrived in the U.S. decades earlier, was the owner of Moy Cafe, a Chinese restaurant on West Broadway in North Minneapolis. When Lee Fong died in 1961, David's mother, Moon Fong, took over the business with the help of her son, who had experience in the restaurant-industry from his take-out place. David Fong's Bloomington restaurant served an extensive menu of American and Cantonese dishes and has been one of the longest-running family owned restaurants in the Twin Cities. Two other Fong family restaurants, one in Prior Lake and one in Savage will remain open.
David Fong's menu from the Menu Collection in the Hennepin County Library Digital Collections.
