Needed to share another hydrangea photo. They are much more cheerful than my mood, today. Blue flowers are hard to capture their true colors in a photograph. These turned out just like I saw them...nice and blue.

One path becomes two.
Which one will you take today?
Best thing? You can choose.

I’d be on the dirt path in a heart beat lol. Probably barefoot too.

Wow. It is perfect and poetic. Pillars and a winding path with awaiting light for those who walk.

Title: Confusion!

I needed to use a washroom. I got confused in the hallway. Mens and then Disabled/Womens. I am a man that has been disabled from physical and TBI PTSd injuries. I did not know where to go. I just stood there baffled like "oh crap" i need to shit but "oh shit" where do i go to drop my bunker busters?

If i went to mens the traffic is higher and my startle response and hypervig goes up. Fight mode from dudes creepin on me. Dont be lookin at my lil 9mm dude when u r zipping up your long shlong package. I got a neurogenic bladder so i need peace and quiet to focus to initiate my peeing..no joke. but there are times when signals amp up and i get about 15 seconds of hold time before i piss myself. That being said i make use of handicaps when available but this time i got confused.

Standing confused.. should i go to womens. What will happen if a women saw me would she scream? Is the washroom for handicap women? Is it for handicaps and some desparate women taped a sign up? Was this a turf war between all gender handicaps vs women that do not want to share the washroom? Did the men push out the disabled?

I was confused enough to take a photo and ask what i should do next time.

When nature calls out in mother nature there is no signage as a bush is a bush and an alley is an alley. As you can see my TBI can really ask alot of questions, become confused, and also caring to manage safety for PTSd trying to decide on the safest choice.

If the tape falls off where will the women go? Should they combine men and womens into a neutral washroom and have a dedicate handicap space?

I have seen slipping hazards in mens washroom because... i dunno guys just sometimes piss on floor and things? I encountered a wet toilet roll before after sitting down. Thats mean and gross so i try to use handicap washroom.

This is why the title is called CONFUSION!!!

Your bee picture on the last page, @Still Standing , reminded me of this little green-headed, white-legged bee-like creature I snapped a picture of last spring. Still not sure what it is, but I was diggin' the color scheme and grateful for yet another potential pollinator so close to the garden...

Your green bug is great against the periwinkle colored flower. I have never seen a bug like that either, @Tornadic Thoughts. Very nice.?
