State of the Blog Address

Posted June 27, 2017 in Faith, Life / 0 Comments

I just wanted to take a little bit of time to tell you the state of this blog. My life has gotten very complicated this past year with graduate school and my health challenges have been acting up. I have been very busy with graduate school courses and then my health issues have made it hard to keep this blog running. That being said, I do not want to abandon this blog. It will need to take a slightly different turn.

So, I’ve Been Really Sick

Posted January 16, 2017 in Life / 0 Comments

I am sorry that this blog has kind of fallen by the wayside lately.

The end of November and beginning of December were the end of the grad school semester and I had a lot of final projects due.

Then I got glutened and ended up traveling for the holidays where I got glutened again. My maternal grandmother is not doing well at all and we had to drive halfway across the country to visit her. Her death is rather imminent and she is in hospice right now.

After returning home at the very end of December, I managed to catch influenza and bronchitis thanks to my wonderful celiac disease. I have literally been sleeping 20+ hours a day for the past two weeks.

I have been trying to get an end-of-the-year wrap-up done, but now I’m not sure that is going to happen. I am way behind on reviews, but I promise they are coming.

Please, bear with me, people, and I will get things back on track soon.

October 2016 in Review

Things that Happened in October

  • First of all, is October really over already!! Where did October go?
  • I had my first really bad glutening in quite some time yesterday. It was terrible. People have also been questioning my food choices which prompted this Twitter thread.
  • As I am working on this, I have such a terrible headache that I hope this manages to look half-way decent when it posts.
  • Grad school has been exhausting me on top of teaching and everything else I do.
  • I just started a Facebook page for the blog but there isn’t a whole lot there yet.
  • I didn’t get as much read as I should have this month. I am falling behind on grad school reading and ARCs.

My Favorite Book of October
