Hasidic Rest Stop
Today began week two of me taking care of my father. We had an appointment early in the morning which went fine. So one of my Dad's old coworkers got my Dad interested in this man named Roland who lives in New Jersey. He's a licensed medical doctor but mainly does energy healings and uses a lot of herbs and vitamins for therapy and treatments instead of drugs. So he called us last night to see how my Dad was and told my Mom that he was going down to Jersey tomorrow for an appointment. He ended up giving up his appointment for my Dad and offered to drive. Luckily he got another appointment right afterward. So this meant that I had to travel down to New Jersey with my father. Ugh! I was so sick of traveling and New Jersey? Really? I was hoping to never enter that state after my sister moved out of it. Oh well. Suck it up, Chris.
Hello, Mr. Tree.
The trip was relatively long. The guy who drove us, John, was a really nice guy and funny so at least that was amusing. But my Dad still has trouble speaking so I had to kind of pay attention to their conversations because all of a sudden my Dad would want me to speak for him. We made a pit stop for a bathroom break at this gas station that was run by Hasidic Jews. It was really funny. They were all dressed up in black with their curly hair thingies (I know there's a name for them but I don't feel like looking that up right now). I had to walk my Dad across the busy gas station to the bathroom and it took sooo long. That was interesting. Then we got back in and made it just in time for his appointment.
Alice in... New Jersey?
My Dad went in for his appointment and I just sat there in the lobby. It's all decked out with sayings from this guy Roland on pieces of stone and stuff. Lots of bells and water features. Kind of a strange place. I met Roland and I don't really know how I feel about the guy. He seems to have a little bit of crazy energy surrounding him. I, personally, wouldn't go to him. Anyone who quotes themselves and sells it to their clients on plaques has a little something wrong with him. So the appointment went well and an hour later we got to leave. Thank God too because I was starving.
Caesar Burger
We went to this diner that John liked to go to. It was one of those family run joints and the people were Greek (I think). I love places like this because they have HUGE menus and so much to choose from. They also had a lot of unique things such as their cantaloup dessert which was half of a cantaloup with ice cream and whipped cream in the center. Cool right? Another unique thing was the burger I ordered... It was a caesar salad burger. I obviously got a veggie burger but it also had caesar dressing, parmesan cheese and roman lettuce. It was delicious! Thinking about it now makes my mouth drool. Yummy. After that we had a nice boring trip back up to home.
