Before the Kemosabe Liquid Sunshine, each Sunday afternoon, I'd take a long walk through either Astoria or Long Island City. Then, I would arrive back home around 4 or 5pm when I'd prepare an early dinner

I'm on the road back, having concluded my 6th Cycle on Thursday, October 2nd. Tis a bumpy road, mind you, as I am still afflicted with Neuropathy of my feet, which are both numb, allied with swollen ankles. Makes walking quite challenging. I'm feeling how nothing significant will change until mid-November or early December. That's just a hunch and I may be completely wrong. I'm no doctor.
When I first began my Cycles back in early June (2025), I was having my head shaved each week. Then it stopped growing completely, though several days ago I noticed how it has begun to grow again

New addition. Love it. People in the suburbs hang these metal flowers upon their backyard fences. Me, I hang mine on my apartment walls, and, as of today, now own ten of them. And that metal piece surrounding the flower, I found one afternoon walking home from work. It's really cool looking.
I've actually found quite a few nice pieces walking home from work, one of which was an elongated wooden coffee table made of walnut wood, no blemishes, perfect condition, which I proceeded to carry across 4 avenues, then up the 4 flights to my apartment. Some things you just shouldn't ignore

Nothing on this. It's just a feeling I have that this structure will be torn down for a high-rise apartment building

I like corners, and especially ones with crosswalks as there's always some sort of activity.
--
Many years ago that corner building had been a movie theatre.
---
The Astoria Theater, now home to a New York Sports Club gym, began as a vaudeville theater in November, 1920, on the corner of Steinway Street and 30th Avenue. Within three years it was converted into a 2,900-seat movie palace. The Astoria Theater underwent two splits—divided into four theaters in 1977, with two more screens added in 1981—to become the more modern UA Astoria Sixplex, which closed on Dec. 26, 2001. The remains of the marquee and façade are still visible.

This photo came about after I had enjoyed a wonderful lunch at "Bread N Wine", this awesome hole-in-the-wall restaurant situated along Lexington Avenue at 92nd St, in New York City. They've amazing food, offer 1/2 sandwiches, have great salads, and delicious soups. Their staff is also wonderful and very laid back, and magically appear when needed. Live music too some evenings. N and I had specifically picked this venue for our lunch, and walked the 30-blocks there from her apartment. Following lunch, I walked across town to Central Park and wandered around its Reservoir, during which time I took this photo, which perfectly matched the essence of my afternoon.
-
Per Wikipedia:
In 1994 the reservoir was renamed in honor of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to commemorate her many contributions to the city (which included helping to save Grand Central Terminal from demolition and helping to restore it as an architectural landmark, protesting against proposed structures that would have marred Central Park's beauty, and serving as a board member of the Municipal Art Society). Furthermore, she enjoyed jogging in the area, and the windows of her apartment at 1040 Fifth Avenue overlooked the reservoir.

Spring will arrive soon as the tree branches have begin to spread out. Had taken notice of it about a week ago and thought it odd because it has been so cold. Doesn't matter, for they know somehow

Here's an interesting tidbit of information not many people know about:
The Hell Gate Bridge in New York City, completed in 1917, is known for its steel arch design and was the longest steel arch bridge in the world at the time. The Sydney Harbour Bridge, in Sydney Australia, inspired by the Hell Gate Bridge, was completed in 1932 and is notable for being the widest long-span bridge globally, showcasing a similar arch design

Shai-Hulud. There is no spoon.
This afternoon I had spoken these words aloud, oblivious to whether anyone was in earshot, just before I ascended this last set of staircases at the Ditmartian Land (Ditmars Blvd) subway station.
Shai-Hulud is from Frank Herbert's novel DUNE. And was the Fremen term for the sandworm of Arrakis, a fictional extraterrestrial creature.
The phrase "there is no spoon" from the movie The Matrix suggests that reality is an illusion and that limitations exist only if we believe in them. It emphasizes the idea that understanding and perception can change our experience of reality.

My chemotherapy treatments, now concluded since early October, afflicted me with CIPN (Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy), which has left my feet and ankles swollen and numb. I have been working remotely, as well as convalescing. Walking has been extremely challenging for me, and I have been staying home. Though I had begun slowly doing stretching exercises. These next two weeks I am on vacation. For what that's worth. Last week the numbness in my feet changed and moved toward the front of my feet. So now my feet are half numb. I'll take it!
Today had been a milestone, as I was able to ascend the 4 staircases of the nearby elevated subway station, ride the train 4 stops, pick up some meds, get a flu shot and return the same way. Next, I went to the Supermarket, then picked up some deliveries from the Amazon locker in my lobby. After which I needed to walk upstairs to my 4th floor walk-up penthouse apartment. It was certainly all a lot, though it was so worth it, and I felt amazing. It tired me out, though I will rest and push myself again another day soon. Lotta 4's today

In numerology, the number 4 is associated with traits like discipline, punctuality, and practicality. It is often referred to as the "struggling number" due to its connection with persistence and the tendency to face delays in achieving goals.

My Alternate Health Care Proxy recommends:
I know you're looking forward to being able to walk the neighborhood and take your pictures. I would strongly suggest that you let the winter pass by and begin that next spring. Don't challenge the cold by putting yourself out there and hopefully if you get started in the spring, you'll go through the spring and into the summer, and you'll be in a better position for next winter.
Duly noted. This is the absolute reason why I chose this individual, both my principal and my alternate Health Care Proxies, as they are down-to-earth people and tell it like it is.

New York City winters are no joking matter, as they can be balmy one day, and bitterly cold the next, rainy and windy the following, then there's a blizzard, or worse, a Nor'easter. This upcoming winter season is forecasted to be record-breaking.
I'll be catching up on a lot of reading. As well as use my apartment as a creative Muse.

Morning walk through Astoria. It felt good. Though I cannot go too far, as my feet and ankles are still afflicted with neuropathy (my feet are both numb and swollen; my ankles swollen). Strange shit. This a direct side effect from the Kemosabe Liquid Sunshine. My last cycle was on October 2nd. And the healing will just take time and I am just going to have to be patient. I've no other choice. Morning's are the best time for short walks. And I just have to stick with them, as I am confident that in time they will help.

Prognosis confirmed 14 days after biopsy, and I've certainly learned a plethora of pertinent information within that short span of time. Plus, I've already established my personal support team. Typically I don't waste time on anything. I just do it. And if I make a mistake, I don't hesitate, as I will fix it along the way. Life is too short to be inefficient.
I've been referred onto an Oncologist (cancer doctor)
I'm not afraid. More so, I'm curious. I've a lot of faith in modern medicine

Giulia Cenci
secondary forest
April 2024 – March 2025
Location
On The High Line at 24th Street
Giulia Cenci creates elaborate sculptures and installations by fusing industrial elements and organic forms, arranging them into jarring compositions that invite viewers to question human’s relationship with nature. Cenci’s work features animals, plants, and human appendages cast from melted-down scrap metal, reusing found objects, agricultural tools, old machinery, and car parts. These seemingly disparate elements are then hung, suspended, or pierced together like pieces of meat, morphing into a wild habitat void of hierarchy—where a human bone is treated with the same care as the branch of a tree or a wolf’s face.

If you have a NYC Transit reflective vest, you can seemingly park anywhere for free in all of NYC. Seems to also work for construction workers' vests/placards
Who's to say these people even work for NYC Transit, or in construction for that matter. Apparently it works, as I walk to/fro my place of employment every day and see this all the time
