Able and Cane in hand, this morning I once again walked the 6 Avenues north to my appointment at The Medical Complex, and walked back as well. It's not that cold out, though the wind can be brutal. Wait until Sunday. NYC is due a major snowstorm. This morning my legs ached a bit, as yesterday after work I walked quite far for FedEx and UPS returns. I'm not sacrificing those returns. Gotta do what you gotta do. This month I began going into my office one day per week. Next month, two days. With the arrival of March, three days.
So, at The Medical Complex, the nurse noted how she could get their social worker involved reference my Access-A-Ride ineligibility letter. No, thank you. (I've already had my fill of their anti-social worker. Knock it off, already). I'm not going to appeal their decision. Why not? That would be a waste of my time. Instead, I am going to send them a letter, outlining how their assessment practices require an overhaul. Think, assessment assessment. I'm a really good researcher, and an okay writer. It essentially all boils down to the delivery.

Today, January 23rd, 2026 commemorates my 4th year alcohol free and 4.5 years nicotine free.
I had once been a two pack per day smoker and a daily drinker
On July 12, 2021 I quit smoking cigarettes cold turkey.
Six months later, I followed suit with alcohol, also cold turkey.
And it's mostly mind over matter, quitting these vices. It just takes determination

Construction workers wear neon colors, especially neon yellow (safety yellow) and fluorescent orange (safety orange), to ensure they are highly visible on the job site. These colors stand out against the typical backgrounds found in construction areas, such as earth tones and urban landscapes, significantly reducing the risk of accidents by alerting drivers and machine operators to their presence.

For many years now, most weekday mornings find me walking past this two storied nondescript brick building in Long Island City, Queens, enroute to my office. I felt the building was abandoned, as never was there any activity in or out of it present. One recent morning the rolled steel door was actually up, revealing an inner sanctum of crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Wow! Long Island City is certainly full of surprises

Kips Bay was an inlet of the East River running from what is now 32nd Street to 37th Street in Manhattan, New York City. The bay extended into Manhattan Island to just west of what is now First Avenue and had two streams that drained into it. The bay was named after New Netherland Dutch settler Jacobus Hendrickson Kip (1631–1690), son of Hendrick Hendricksen Kip, whose farm ran north of present-day 30th Street along the East River. The bay became reclaimed land, yet "Kips Bay" remains the name of the area.
Kip built a large brick and stone house, near the modern intersection of Second Avenue and East 35th Street. The house stood from 1655 to 1851, expanded more than once, and when it was demolished was the last farmhouse from New Amsterdam remaining in Manhattan. Iron figures fixed into the gable-end brickwork commemorated the year of its first construction. Its orchard was famous, and, when first President George Washington was presented with a specimen of its Rosa gallica during his first administration (1789–1793), when New York was serving as the first national capital city, it was claimed to have been the first garden to have grown it in the Thirteen Colonies.

“In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself in a dark wood, for the straight way was lost.”
The line signifies a moment of being lost or astray, finding oneself in a "dark wood" where the "straight path" is lost, prompting deeper reflection on life's direction and meaning.
Dante's Poem: The line, written in Italian as "Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita" and often translated as "Midway upon the journey of our life," appears at the beginning of Inferno, the first part of The Divine Comedy.
Inferno
Poem by Dante Alighieri
Dante's Inferno contains 34 cantos (principal divisions of a long poem). It is the first part of his larger work, The Divine Comedy, which has a total of 100 cantos across its three sections:
The three sections of Dante's "Divine Comedy" are Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Heaven). Each section represents a different stage of the soul's journey towards God and explores themes of sin, penance, and salvation.

It makes me so sad
I'm so sorry
The reality is just kicking in
I just finished reading this great book titled "How Not to Die"
Really! What the fuck is wrong with you? You're supposed to be my friend. I am! I don't understand what you mean?
That's patently obvious. You're an imbecile. (And it's times such as these when one learns, as well as earns, true friendship. A true life lesson. And life is too short.)

Ask the phlebotomist to have your blood drawn at alternating sites to avoid scarring your vessel/vein when drawing the blood from the same. Apply direct pressure for 2 minutes immediately to the puncture site to avoid bruising and cover it with band-aid.
Chemo infusion can be hard on the vessels and should also be administered at alternating arms and different vessels. It’s ideal that the IV access for Chemo should be started from the distal part of your arm (like the hand or above the wrist) and Avoid over a bent of the arm, which can limit your movement and bending the limb can cause “extravasation of Chemo into your tissues”, leaking of Chemo resulting to swelling and pain.
-
Per this recommendation, my infusions were on alternating arms each time. And I've no scarring as a result.

I'm still dealing with the Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) that is a direct side effect from my treatments, which concluded on October 2nd, 2025. Via my own research I have found how the neuropathy should peak 3-5 months following my final Cycle (treatment).
Suffice it to say, my ankles and feet are still swollen and the front section of each foot is numb. In mid-November that numbness moved from having completely engulfed each of my feet to the front part of both. The fact that the numbness migrated into another section of my feet is a clear indicator that the nerves are healing.
Neuropathy is damage to the peripheral nervous system (nerve fibers), and is a result from certain chemotherapy agents.
None of this information was ever advised to me by my medical team. I needed to research it all on my own, as well as confer with my principal Health Care Proxy, a great friend of mine of 35-years, now a retired former professional nurse who once worked at various NYC Hospitals, and who now resides in the Philippines.
I am so grateful to have requested and been approved for a chemotherapy dosage reduction on my last two treatments. I had a total of 6 cycles (treatments), and no one ever informed me how side effects were cumulative. You're my fucking medical team, you're supposed to inform me. Nope. Not a peep. Pathetic.
BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE!

Clean shaven. Decided last night. And today, work was just great and I felt comfortable enough this afternoon to walk home, able and cane in hand, the 1.5 miles door-to-door and I am so glad that I broke that ice.

Years back it had been a Holiday Inn. 15-years ago I'd attended a wedding reception after party in its penthouse. My neighborhood is currently super hot real estate wise, so this will either be torn down completely, or refurbished. It's anyone's guess..
