It’s been a tough couple weeks. I had taken a break from blogging and needed to focus on self-care. Those of you who don’t know, I suffer with chronic pain on a daily basis. Some days are better than others, yet there are times when I have a flare up and have day after day of tough, high pain days. When that happens I have learned that I need to do everything I can do to take care of myself.
Unfortunately, blogging is low on the priority list when those flares hit. They can be unpredictable, so I just want to be upfront. This is my reality and going forward I am not going to commit to a regular blogging schedule. I have enjoyed posting the First Line Fridays as well as What I’m Working on Wednesday. So when able I will continue to post those.
As for book reviews, I plan on continuing those. But, I will no longer be accepting requests for book reviews. With my daily pain, it is difficult to tell how I will be feeling day to day, week to week. Thus getting things done timely isn’t always guaranteed.
I have enjoyed this as an outlet to share my thoughts and want to continue with it. But it will have to be at a pace I can handle which will vary week to week. The book community has been so supportive and I hope you’ll continue on this journey with me.
Always take care of you first! So sorry you have to deal with chronic pain, it’s awful!
