Not sure if anyone noticed there was not post from me yesterday, however I did have surgery on my right hand little finger. The first 4 photos were from yesterday with what I wore to the Hospital being black Jeans and a Grey Shirt, plus I also had my nice thick Grey Shawl Neck cardigan. Man when they put nerve blocker in my entire arm an it became a useless limb I had to laugh at how it flopped around. Plus to get dressed again I had to use my other had (and a nurses assistance) to pick it up and put it in a shirt sleeve. You just don't realise how heavy a limb can be until you pick one up that has now assistance. Photo 5 is what my bandage looks like and will remain until next Thursday to give the surgical cut time to knit. The cut goes from the lowest part of the pinky (the Knuckle) up to the next knuckle as they checked and freed up any debris and caught tendons. The good news is that it is no where near as much pain as the break and it is basically a cut. The remaining photos are just a comfortable outfit that is easy to put on and has less buttons to manor or around to get dressed. Plus it does show I am not “always” in a suit.

One thing that I have learned in my 42 years is that my home is my sanctuary. I do everything I can to create a space of peace and tranquility in my home. For me, that is using “the good stuff” and having flowers around the house. I’m an antique lover and everything has its “place” in the house. Things must go back where they belong or I can’t function. I raised my nieces and I’ll never forget the time they brought friends over and after they left my niece told me that my house was so orderly that they were scared to sit down. I was proud and felt bad at the same time 🤣. Before the day begins I sit at my breakfast table and watch the birds at the feeders outside my window. Before surgery I had a very strict routine. 1. 4am wake stretch/yoga 2. 5am gym for weight training or cardio depending on the day. 3. 6am usually more like 6:15 but I would arrive home and have coffee at the breakfast table. 4. 6:30 get ready for work (clothes would be on my valet the night before). 5. 7:15-7:30 I was out the door heading to work. Surgery, of course, has sloshed me down but I can’t wait to be released from restriction so I can get back to my wellness routine. It will likely be the first of the year before that happens. What are your ways of creating the ideal experience at home, and what routines do you keep? @Antonio O. Centeno you have talked about these topics quite a bit on YouTube.

I haven't decided if im a vest guy or not. Giving it a try today.
