Surreal

In NYC today to see a few plays and visit my daughter to give her belated birthday ๐ŸŽ‚ wishes. As I walk through the streets I am numb still trying to piece together the events of the previous night.

โœจโœจโœจโœจโœจโœจโœจ

I still havenโ€™t slept but am sure there are many of us who havenโ€™t replaying this ๐ŸŽญ.

So rather than replaying will replace these thoughts with the reality of City ๐Ÿ™๏ธ life.

NyFd having a drill on 9th Ave
What would a drill be without medics?
And a final look ๐Ÿ‘€

Next..

My daughter is JM maybe she could start a laundry?
On 54th how appropriate
Canโ€™t forget Stephenโ€™s place

And my fav ๐Ÿ•

Homeless Guy

He tried to get $ off me but I told him to get a job. He fโ€™d me all the way down the street. I screamed back and felt good to get that anger out.

๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก

I forgot.. he already has a job, and Iโ€™m sure thatโ€™s his corner.

Barbie is in town with a museum exhibit and gift ๐ŸŽ shop.,

And before you know it Christmas ๐ŸŽ… will be here.. have to get those decorations up.๐ŸŽ„

Ho ho ho.,

On to Sunset Boulevard at 2 pm.,

The People Have Spoken

And while I am devastated about this will have to go on. When the rapist served the last time I went through a major depression saddened by what had become of our country.

โœŒ๏ธโ˜ฎ๏ธโœŒ๏ธโ˜ฎ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

But we have to go on and that we will.

No longer will I blog political sentiments for fear of retaliation.

Think Iโ€™ll keep my blogs to once a week and maintain anonymity.

Samโ€™s Point Preserve

Trail information – There also is a visitor center with more information and bathrooms.

This walking trail is on the grounds of the Minnewaska State Park in Warwarsing, New York. For $10 one can walk the trails to the Point. That said make reservations as today the Park was overrun by Chinese visitors and closed to regular clientele.

Another view

Sunset

There are picnic tables and folks can make this a day event but contact the Park prior to visiting to ensure reservations.

Enjoy!

Blue Cliff Monastery

This Buddhist site was a delight to visit. There are talks and luncheons on the weekend, however, I missed them as I had to sleep.๐Ÿ’ค. Check their website for more information.

The Grounds

Can you see the deer grazing?
Interesting sentiments
Gardens

Statutes

Sit awhile..

Think I need to check out their workshops.

Road Trip

Today went to four interesting places which my float nurse told me of.๐Ÿš—๐Ÿš™๐Ÿš™So rather than talking politics will be writing โœ๏ธ of churches, monasteries, mountains, and crystal stores.

Will begin with faithโ€ฆ

While I no longer believe, or am involved in organized religion still love to visit churches and this one stirred my inner being.

It is a must see, visit, and sit in the presence.

Chapel of the Holy Name. โ€œThe Stone Churchโ€

This Episcopal church resides in Cragsmoor, New York. Built in the late 19th century as a memorial to Dr, Issac Hartshorn, at the request of his wife. Eliza. The church is constructed out of native fieldstone.

The Altar

Closer..

Mary

The Stained Glass

The Interfaith Window
The Wall of Wishes and Prayers

More Outside Shots

Have to visit next year when leaves turn.

My Prediction

With 2 days left I am not concerned, and I predict the race will not be close and Kamala will win all.

As I listen to the naysayers and those biting their nails about the election I say, “She’s got it!!!”

Women are fed up, charged up, and voting for themselves.

And keeping mum on who they are voting for.

Hocus Pocus

You never know what youโ€™ll come across when you travel. Tonight went to City Winery in Montgomery, New York, to see the crazed play Hocus Pocus and 5 star dinner for $90.

The venue was lovely both outside and in.

Restaurant
Bar
Some patrons at the bar

Did a wine tasting for $15. There were 6 selections some from $45 a bottle so quite a deal.

Dinner was delicious..,

Short ribs with mashed potatoes

And then there was the performance..

Funny
Sexy
For a laugh

Then dessert

Yum

What a fun night and great break from psych patients and cabin construction problems.

Quite a sky

Four Days To Go..

Arenโ€™t we all glad?๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Itโ€™s been a long stretch and next week at this time we all should know the verdict.

Am doing another endless night in the psych ward and just turned off Fox News. The female governor who killed her dog was espousing lies as I switched off the channel.

๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ“บ

She was saying women donโ€™t like to be lied to as the Democratic Party does. I scratched my head in wonderment thinking 50% of America is listening ๐Ÿ‘‚ to this bit-h.

And why?

Why do they spread the lies then point fingers?

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰

For another dayโ€ฆ

Right now itโ€™s time for another round to ensure the patients are all snug in their beds.

๐Ÿ›Œ ๐Ÿ›Œ๐Ÿ›Œ๐Ÿ›Œ๐Ÿ›Œ

And letโ€™s hope next week at this time we will be as well knowing Democracy is intact.

Perception, Treatment, and Resilience

๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ

In reflecting on my psych nursing career, Iโ€™ve seen much. And I think many of these psychiatric illnesses stem from bad parenting.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง’๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง’๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง’

Somehow the message gets perceived wrong causing these pain filled souls.

๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Perception goes a long way, and words can hurt more than any physical injury. The treatment is challenging, and resilience is the only cure.

Sat with a young woman last night coming off heroin. Only sat for an hour while the aide was on break.

๐Ÿฉผ๐Ÿฉผ๐Ÿฉผ๐Ÿฉผ

This gal moaned, and thrashed about the bed sitting up, and laying down, craving sleep yet, it did not come. There were not enough drugs in the world ๐ŸŒŽ to put her to sleep.

And believe me I gave many.

Next time you interact with your child, grandchild, niece, or nephew, remember to tread lightly and be kind in your words.

Something to ponder.
