I needed to figure out some way for the Infusion Center nurses to have full access to my arms, while still maintaining warmth, as it's so cold in there.
Upon researching on Amazon, I found turtlenecked T-shirts. Ingenious. Then I bought the wool & fleece poncho, which goes right over my head. No need for sleeves
(See my tags for T-shirt and Poncho names)
Tis cancer chic
And I wouldn't expect anything less from myself

They dismantled all of the sidewalk sheds, yet the green wall remains. Loving those black framed windows. Have always wanted an apartment with those types of windows. The ones where you need to wind a lever and they open sideways. In my fantasy it needs to be a red bricked building second floor apartment, and the building is situated on a tree lined street. Make that a cobblestone street. No, not a street. A lane. And it's raining. It's springtime...

No clue what this building is supposed to be though it most certainly is not going not going to be another apartment building. Those steel rollup doors speak shops, though we shall see.

Crain's New York Business, March 7, 2024
Midtown-based Fisher Bros. has parted ways with a Long Island City site where it once hoped to build a 240-unit project.
The real estate firm has sold 42-50 24th St. to developer Chris Xu's United Construction & Development for $57.5 million, property records show. The deal will add to Xu's already substantial portfolio of Queens projects.
The Hakim Organization and Property Markets Group bought the site in 2015 for $69 million, and the real estate website New York YIMBY published renderings of a 74-story tower planned for the address in 2018. However, in 2019 Fisher Bros. prefiled plans for a 35-story project at the site that would span about 255,000 square feet with 240 residential units, 40,000 square feet of commercial space and a hotel.

Mostly I prefer taking photos that are devoid of people, unless I need them to set scale or play off of lines & shapes in the image.
A tricky preference/maneuver in a city such as New York, though obviously not impossible.

Thankfully it's situated 3-doors away from a Firehouse. But still. My neighborhood is super hot Real Estate wise, and a building like this, on a corner, could fetch 10-15 million. Let's see what happens.

That's 28-08 28th St on the far left corner. Building Boom here
This cycle almost put me in the grave. As I hadn't known about how over time side effects become cumulative.
Not only that, what had happened was during Cycle # 3 on July 17th, the Neulasta Device had malfunctioned while I was at home. This medical device would be affixed to my upper arm at the end of each treatment, and it helped to stimulate the production of white blood cells, reducing the risk of infection. Meds from the device would be administered automatically 27-hours following treatment
On the evening of July 17th I began to notice how the device was detaching from my arm and required tape reinforcement. It activated July 18th though I experienced none of the typical side effects, suggesting improper medication delivery. You need to be your own advocate when you go through something like this, and you need to read everything, and stay on top of EVERY SINGLE THING.
As a result of the malfunction, my white blood cell (WBC) counts plummeted, and the following week I required two separate injections to bring them back up. On the morning of August 7th, prior to my scheduled 4th treatment, it was confirmed how my WBC counts were almost at their maximum counts.
I recalled how during my first Kemosabe session, a specific Infusion Nurse had secured the Neulasta Device with an additional bandage that had a clear window and provided better adhesion. On July 20th, I sent a message to my Oncologist mentioning how I would like to request that same application method moving forward.
Remember, BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE
Also, I asked that their office please refrain from scheduling follow-up appointments immediately after my treatment sessions, as I'm too fatigued post-treatment to navigate additional appts, esp in different buildings. So stupid. I just can't understand that. Requested if they could please schedule follow-ups on separate days. Her staff may just not realize how exhausting chemo is.

About the project
From the 1880s through the 1920s, 23rd Street was a major vaudeville, entertainment, and cultural district; "Ladies Mile," the fashion and department store haven of the time, was located nearby. In his mosaic “Memories of 23rd Street,” Keith Godard represents the area’s history through the various hats icons of the neighborhood may have worn. The celebrities Godard had in mind include Jim Brady, Oscar Wilde, Sara Bernhardt, Mark Twain, and Lillian Russell. "In addition to bringing back memories of the specific time period and people and appealing to the viewers on a more common level as fascinating hats, this design can also serve as an interactive, playful, and witty landmark," Godard says. "As a diversion, passengers waiting for the subway train might try to picture people on the opposite platform 'wearing' the hats they are standing beneath!"

INSPIRATION
The siren was created by Terry Heckler, a corporate artist and creative partner of Starbucks founder Gordon Bowker. Heckler was inspired by a 16th century Norse woodcut of a two-tailed siren. The siren's hair is similar to ocean waves, a reference to Seattle's (in the U.S. State of Washington) proximity to the sea.
MEANING
The siren is a metaphor for the siren song of coffee, luring people to the brand. The siren's mythical and mysterious appeal is intended to convey the idea that Starbucks seduces coffee lovers. From European myths and alchemy, her two tails represent dualities, such as earth and water, or body and soul
DESIGN
The siren has been updated over the years, but the siren remains at its core. The latest design includes asymmetry, such as a dipped nose on the right side of the siren's face. This was done to avoid making the siren look too perfect.

In New York City, public urination is a civil offense, not a criminal offense, and is covered by Section 16-118 of the Administrative Code. First-time offenders can receive a fine of up to $75, with subsequent offenses within 12 months resulting in fines of $250–$350 for a second offense and $350–$450 for a third offense. Offenders will receive a civil ticket instead of a criminal summons and will not have a criminal record if found guilty. Administrative courts may also require offenders to perform community service.
This afternoon I came upon this cup rolling back and forth on a sidewalk nearby my office and I just stopped and watched it for awhile. It reminded me of the plastic bag video from the movie "American Beauty", and I just felt compelled to video-tape it
