No April Fool’s Jokes Here

By Know-it-All Nikki 10 Comments

Well here it is, the first day of April. It’s my sister’s birthday. I love to joke about how she’s my favorite April fool’s day joke because she was supposed to have been a boy. Of course that was back in the day before ultrasounds and all the other tests they do now. But still…. She was supposed to be a HE. That joke gets better every year for me.

But I’m not joking today. No siree. I am posting to say Thanks. Thanks for reading and checking out this blog, commenting and all the other fabulous things you do to keep me going.

Why am I telling you thanks? Because yesterday, the last day of the month was a record month for me in terms of page views. This little blog received 924 page views in March. I don’t know what it was, my comedic genius, my lack of manners, the fact that somebody must love me to read this blog but whatever, whomever… Hugs and smooches to you all!

I know that doesn’t even begin to compare with other blogs who receive 900 page views in a day. But for me? It’s a step in the right direction. It tells me I have readers. That I am not just talking to myself (though not having an audience has never stopped me. Never.) It tells me that I better keep on doing what I am doing. (Still not sure what it is but eh…)

I think that making the move to WordPress was a good one because I like having the freedom and I have finally figured some things out and as time goes on, I will keep moving things over here from my other blog home (which still gets page views too oddly enough) and here’s hoping that April (by the way did I mention my birthday is in April too?) will break March’s and so on and so on.

I love blogging even if I have nothing constructive to say whatsoever. You still come, you still read and you still comment. Thank you for that!

    924 page views?? Not too shabby. Of course, as your stalker, I take credit for at least half of those! Kidding, just kidding. Congrats! It is obvious that I am not the only person that finds your witty personality endearing.

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

Some people would see this and say, "my God what a Some people would see this and say, "my God what a mess!" But I know the truth; it's September 2nd and I am one day late to making new batches of chai latte and hot chocolate mixes.
Why? Because #itsfallyall 
I know it may be sweltering where you are but for me, this is the unofficial start to my favorite season. Does that make me a basic bitch? Maybe, but I don't care.

Then a conversation with a friend on Monday turned on the light bulb in my head and it was... EUREKA 💡. Has this ever happened to you?

When you're trying to find something to eat for lu When you're trying to find something to eat for lunch and didn't bring the big bag in to carry your wallet and phone, you decide you want a plastic basket like the one(s) @heatherspinsayarn and your daughter from another mother has. And once you have said basket, you get your lunch and checkout...

But THEN you decide the basket oils perfect for taking only the essentials into the library so you fill it with your WIP, the jerky your bought, pens, your journal, phone, wallet, and keys. And now you feel all minimalist even though the big bag is still in the car with everything else. 🤣
I decided today to clean out my bag. And by "bag", I decided today to clean out my bag. And by "bag", I mean the giant @landsend tote bag I received when I went to the last ever GOOD Type-A Mom conference in 2017.

Here are some of the items I found...
2 pairs if wired earbuds
3 pairs of wireless earbuds
2 disposable masks
1 reusable mask
4 types of loose leaf herbal tea packets

- An even more than comfortable stack of garbage
1 pen bag
1 small makeup bag courtesy @ipsy 
- a plastic closable case for bobby pins and hair ties
Saline solution
Flonase
2 rolls of washi tape
1 bobby pin
5 hair ties
5 scrunchies 
3 small notebooks
1 phone charger adapter that you plug in🔌 
1 phone stand
1 tablet or book stand
1 gauge swatch for the temperature blanket @heatherspinsayarn and I never started 🤣🤣
1 medicine bottle with extra strength Tylenol
2 moist towelettes (packaged)
3 kinds of hand lotion
1 lip balm
1 office clamp
1 small paper clip
1 really awesome microfiber eyeglass cleaner (I can share a link if you want it)
1 pair of very dirty clip-on sunglasses 
1 travel size pack of kleenex
1 notepad I made out of the library's recycling paper
A pair of fingerless gloves (not knitted)
A business card for the Alaska state troopers
1 knitting needle sizer
2 stitch markers
 A complete set ofstitch markers
A Travel size tooth bush, toothpaste, and flosadeck of tarot cards
4 fabric headbands
1 sports headband
Passport
Wallet
5 pens

And do you know what wasn't in there? The one thing I can't find... my driver's license

My office has no door. If I'm in the middle of wor My office has no door. If I'm in the middle of work, a phone call, or the @stitchingthemilestogether podcast there are extreme measures I need to take in order to get some privacy.

The curtain is held closed by office binder clips (not just for files and potato chip bags anymore!) On the other side if the curtain is a baby gate because dogs are like moose and they will not be held back by binder clips.

This works so well that I'm considering just leaving it like this permanently!

Not the most flattering picture I've ever taken so Not the most flattering picture I've ever taken so you MUST know how much I love and miss Nickles Maple Twist Sweet Rolls. These were a staple growing up in Ohio and my kids love them too.
.
Now, of course I can't find them here in Alaska so when @heatherspinsayarn talked about ordering them for the station, I may have let out the saddest, lowest sigh on the planet. Heather pitied me so much she sent me a maple twist sweet roll package.
.
She requested a picture and this is probably the best evidence I can provide. I promise the moment I began chewing, I was smiling like a fool (with my mouth closed of course). .
