My late anniversary

By Know-it-All Nikki 4 Comments

I was without internet access again. I believe we are fixed and ready to go now though… Ahhhh the price we pay to upgrade. I will just say this. Microsoft’s tech support caused me more problems than they were worth.

Through all that commotion and distress I missed my anniversary. Not the one with my hubby, that was back in February and it was an un-anniversary because we were married on leap year. (yes. that was on purpose).

I missed my anniversary here. As of May 23rd, I have been blogging for 1 year in this chaotic home! Isn’t that awesome!!

I took a look back on some of my posts and I think that what so many people have said about blogging is true.

I started out with very little focus, direction and no clue what to make or do with this blog. But I have noticed that I have tried to turn it from a place for me to rant and rave and spew irritations from everyone from my family to the metermaid, there is a more constructive way to do it, a way to turn it into a post that doesn’t always leave my readers thinking, “What was that?” Hopefully, my readers can now decipher when I am ranting and when I have a point to make (I always have a point, I just don’t always get it out there).

I thought the blog would be a good way for me to deal with being at home all day now (and it has) a way to meet new people (OH yes it has!) and even help me on my way to being a successful freelance writer (getting there). I have learned a lot about blogging this last year.

It is a process to make a successful blog. It is a process to bring people in who want to read what you are putting out there.

All in all though, I am still evolving with this blog. I am having fun. I am meeting other bloggers and people are reading! I didn’t think anyone would want to read about me (I ramble a lot) but they are.

For instance, I don’t think I made a point in this post… other than to say, I am still here. I am having fun. It has been a great year!

Hi there!

I’m Nikki and I’m thrilled to have you here. I’m powered by a good chai latte, loads of chocolate, and humor. Here at Know-it-all Nikki, I dish up honest conversations about self-care and mental health. I also share living with a congenital heart defect, my love of books, knitting, midlife, and life as a Buckeye exploring The Last Frontier. So, pull up a seat, grab your tea, and let’s spill some tea, have a lot of laughs, and a few good cries. To learn more about what makes me tick, CLICK HERE

I didn't think i would need a laptop today. Turns I didn't think i would need a laptop today. Turns out I was slightly wrong. Prepared as always with all my electronics, I'm thankful my kindle was fully charged as was the keyboard because my tablet definitely wasn't... Sure, I have pen and paper but that's for brainstorming! I was also in need of my favorite chai!

Hanging with my former office manager at the satel Hanging with my former office manager at the satellite location has made me realize that time marches on with or without us. Eventually we all move a little slower, our hair color fades, and our age begins to show, both inside and out.

But age is just a number and a state of mind. Our people see past the surface and love what's underneath and that's really all that matters.

Last appointment is an ECG, heart cath site check, Last appointment is an ECG, heart cath site check, and who know what else is planned? My doctors often joke they don't get to see me enough so when they have me, they want to spend as much time with me as they can. 🤣🤣 They are sooo lucky I like them!

Have I ever told you how much I hate needles? If n Have I ever told you how much I hate needles? If not, let me explain.

A childhood of being poked, held down, crying over the feeling of a needle under my skin has left me traumatized to the point of even feeling lightheaded, dizzy, and nauseous at times. 

The very idea that I have to do this to myself twice a day for the next week makes me want to vomit. I begged them to not make me do it but when I told the NP how I felt, ugh... it was dismissed. 

Wasnt there another option? Apparently not as warfarin isn't reliable (current blood thinner) or so I have been told. 

I've been told this doesn't hurt and that I won't feel a thing but I've been lied to before.

If you don't hear from me in the morning, there's a good chance I fainted and cracked my head open on the floor.
