Weekly Wrap-up for March 24, 2013: Sick and Plans..

I don't like having silence on the blog, especially when I have so many things to talk about. I know I can't control my body or the symptoms of my Lupus, but I still get mad when I can't find the time to blog. And it has been that way for a few months!

I also feel bad that I have pretty much abandoned the event I am hosting this month. I had big plans for my reading...and that has fallen away. School has been crazy busy recently, so I'll throw that excuse out there one more time. ;) But now that some of the craziness is going away, and my Lupus symptoms (like the sore inflamed joints) are disappearing, I've been saddled with a cold. Drat!

Anyway, school winds up on Wednesday in preparation for our Spring Break. We're lucky this year to have over a week off of school. In addition to reading a great deal, I'm also making plans to catch up on the HUGE backlist of posts I have in draft form. I'm thinking I'll get cracking early and schedule everything out until I am caught up and up to date. :)

I hope you can all excuse my absence. I'm still trying to find the balance between work, family, hobbies, and my health. It has been a rough road, but I am getting there. I miss blogging and the amount of joy it brought me...and I know some of that joy now comes from other places-like teaching. But I miss it and want it back. Please just continue to bear with me.

  2. Sorry it's been so rough. I'm a big proponent of doing what you want and what you can on your blog, so no worries.

  3. No worries! Life is busy! I had the best of intentions to keep blogging over Spring Break, but they kind of fell by the wayside. Who knew that sleeping in, going shopping, and staying up talking would eat up all my time? I'm getting back in the saddle myself. Anyway, I hope you feel better soon. I am happy to hear that you're getting fulfillment from other places.

  5. Sorry you have been dealing with health issues. I know it can be frustrating. When I have RA issues, I feel like my body has let me down and is holding me back. Hope things get back on track soon!

  6. Don't worry about being away from blogging! I can understand being frustrated about it, but your health and real life stuff trump online things always.
