It has been a week! Fireworks, Strong Winds and a bit of me

It has been quite a week in Toronto. The fireworks for the long weekend is a continuing disappointment in my city. People were arrested for throwing fireworks at the police, their horses, and towards the crowds. Officers needed treatment. One Police Officer sustained facial injuries because one firework was thrown into his face. People were also robbed. What has my city turned into? One Beaches resident reported on the news that two men were dragging a woman by her hair on the street and they they lit a firework in her face. This is what my city has turned into. Many were arrested. I stopped going to the beaches during the Victoria weekend/Canada Day, when the crowds became so large that I could not find parking. In my own neighbourhood, I stayed home because my pets are scared of the fireworks and there are fireworks all over the place. Mr Attitude was cowering next to my bed on the floor. When I held him, he calmed down. I could see the birds (on my security camera) who live on my front tree flying all over the place because they were scared. So, what I used to really enjoy is no longer a celebration. However, my neighbourhood was well behaved as far as I know. Then we had strong winds which took down trees and hydro wires. I was spared. Uxbridge, a pretty town outside Toronto was devastated. It has been a few years since I went there, hoping to get a ride on their vintage train run by volunteers it appears. They are on go fund me and I certainly donated a bit to help get their train/train station restored. I went on a train ride once North of the city also run by volunteers. They were trying to convince me to move there from Toronto and volunteer at their station. So, cute. My city keeps going downhill, you may just see me greeting tourists for a ride on a train or maybe I can work in the gift shop? All so cute, but not on my bucket list. You never know. Maybe when I reach old, old, age, I may just love doing that. Ok enough fun. Yesterday was a complete me day. Got my hair done, nails, and lunch too. Returned to my stylist of origin and we all reunited as old friends. However, I won't let him cut my hair because he cuts it too short. He coloured my hair blonde and I realize him and I look a lot alike. He too is now blonde. Did I work? Yes of course. Did I attend lectures? Yes. I attended another lecture about the war in Ukraine and the Russians. It didn't have anything to do with the psychology department at york and it was mainly about the historical history. I also attended a lecture for Specialists (physicians)Optimizing Care in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): The Role of Emerging Therapies in Improving Patient Outcomes. I don't know who invited me but I am not complaining. Clients who come to me also normally have physical ailments so I will certainly try to expand my knowledge which helps in their care. I won't be adding this to my continuing education since it has nothing to do with Mental Health. You know that mental health, physical health and spiritual health is all be interrelated in my practice. I also attended the "Sisters of Crime" again held on zoom from the States. They had three authors who talked about their books. I hope I didn't delete the email because I wanted to buy a book from them. If I find it, I shall paste the names of the authors. So that was my week to date. Still working today and then it is R&R for this weekend. What do you think? Have a good weekend. I certainly intend to. If you are interested in buying one of my books, don't hesitate. https://www.silvaredigonda.ca
