I’m finding that the more “positively negative” my body and brain remain, the less need there is to update outside of what you can find on my social media accounts. You can access my Instagram account on this page, as well as from the home page. Outside of those regular updates, I will absolutely leap back into “Niki News” health status updates here on the website, should anything new rear its ugly head again. Please feel free to reach out via Insta and or the “contact” page here on my site, should you have any patient advocacy or caregiver questions.
Am I allowed to be running yet? 🤷🏼♀️ Did I ask a doc? No. 😬🫢 Will I be able to gracefully sit down on a toilet seat for the rest of this week? Probably also, No. 🫣🤣 But was it 💯 worth it? YES! 👏🏻 🙌🏻👍🏻🏃♀️

A quiz for all. It is a word problem. I know, those always sucked in school. But don't worry, the answers are multiple choice! 😆
Q: Last night, your mail got stolen, and your car was broken into. The HOA has decided that they are going to post four armed county sheriff on your front lawn, to keep you and your mailbox safe, and they have two additional state troopers on the way. A week later, the president of the HOA informs you, that these armed patrolman are not going to be allowed to go home, until you... at your own personal expense... install a full scope security system of their choosing, that meets their full board's approval. How does this make you feel?
A: I think I can handle my own mailbox. I'm going to call/write/head over to the HOA offices, and tell my board members they have lost their f**king minds.
B: I'm done with this HOA. I'm moving.
C: It's all good. They have my best interests at heart, and my security system only protected the house, not my mailbox, so I guess I'll replace the whole thing.
D: I don't understand what your point is Niki.
ANSWER KEY:
D: You're a wiseass... and I probably love you for it. 😆
C: You either have money to burn, or you're a carpet.
B: Check your privilege, and/or maaaaybe your radically emotional decision making.
A: Welcome to the democracy. Los Angeles and the entire state of California will join you at the HOA office. 😂😎

We don't use our military forces to "liberate" citizens from their elected officials. I don't care which party you voted for. NO. NO. NO. Am I being loud enough for those in the back? NO! Insurrection Act coming to a town near YOU too. #nokings
Fox News: Troops being deployed against the governor's wishes, are there to protect ICE officials while doing their jobs and to protect Federal buildings.......... meanwhile, @kristinoem over there in LA all 'Hold my beer' 😳😶🌫️🫣🫢😑😬
KRISTI NOEM: “We are not going away,” she warned. “We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.” <--- Quit your position Kristi, you're a national embarrassment.

Peacefully enjoying morning coffee in my breakfast nook, when one of these scrub jays “knocked” on the window to let me know their feeder has been empty for far too long. I kid you not… this bird clung to a 1/4 inch wide ledge, stared at me, flapped its wings against the window, then flew directly over to the feeder, where it sat squawking until I came out with a bag of seed. 😳 Multiple nests in the shrubs around the yard. I’ve often heard that crows are smart… but my goodness… these scrub jays 🤯

Every mom or doctor anywhere: “Don’t put things up your nose.”
Post op visit to Otolaryngology…
ME: “Is there still that dissolvable packing in my nostril, or is that just swell….”
DOC: ** tilts headlamp and runs metal tube up the nostril **
🤣🤷🏼♀️
Note to self— Q-tips up the nose are definitely safe. Might possibly be fine to include toothpicks or bbq skewers as well. 😬🫢🤣🫠
