Hilary, this quitting caffeine thing is putting my in a doozy. It is my one fear - how I would operate without it. I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, I live a very healthy lifestyle but my one is caffeine! How are you doing now? I know you wrote this a few weeks ago so I'd like to know if all is better and what life is like without it! Has it helped with your "certain age" things?!
Great newsletter! I can relate to all you’re feeling with The Change! Keep writing about it, keep the noise going! Also, I haven’t met a too-fancy donut I liked yet! Near us there’s a gourmet donut place, and, well, I would rather get my donuts at Dunkins!
Dude, the pimply 16yo at that BB&B probably wished for danger pay after that interaction, much like your donutista and friend with the cooling mattress convo. Don’t know what hit ‘em.
Ok, I just skipped to the end of the post to tell you I snorted LOUD in a hospital room at the line Tar-No and agreeing with EVERYTHING re the donutistas ( we need a Philz for donuts, I think not ?? ) and just loving this week’s missive SO MUCH. Ok, back to reading it. ❌⭕️❌ ❤️
I was rooting for a third act triumph for the made-to-order donuts, because the only donuts I like are at Federal Donuts in Philadelphia, where the donuts are made a la minute and are like little clouds of joy. Versus most donuts, which I find to be greasy and doughy.
On a related note, I enjoyed the blue zones show, and nobody in Okinawa or Ikaria or even Loma Linda mentioned donuts.
1) All of those designer donuts look like glazed raised SO THEY ARE DEAD TO ME.
2) As soon as I began asking my Parisian girlfriends of “un certain age” about menopause and coping with it naturally, they lost their fucking minds. “Americans are CRAZY! Get the fucking hormones STAT!”
https://promensil.co.uk/. I took this homeopathic treatment during the worst of the menopause symptoms and found it somewhat helpful, as i never did HRT. Haven’t slept in years and still put the covers off and on many times a night! You’right- its bullsh++ that they havent come upmwith any cures or relief.

Cannot believe you have ditched caffeine. So brave! I hope it helps bring down the internal thermostat.

Excellent job! Hated menopause and glad it is mostly over. But, still the night sweats! Hang in there!
