Link Love: Recovery Mode

As an asthmatic, when I catch a cold, it turns into full-fledged bronchitis. I have all the meds on-hand from my doctor since I’ve been through this for decades but the recovery time is long and slow. I have to let my body recover and, as anyone who runs a small business can tell you, slowing down and letting go is hard to do. My to-do lists have to-do lists and it makes me physically itchy to just leave them but I have to… at least for a few more days.

So, Patrons, the podcast might be a little late this week. I don’t want to record until I can go more than five minutes without coughing.

Other posts might be late or a little light this week, but once I’m well, I will hopefully have my mojo back and be rolling full throttle. Thanks to you all for your well wishes and patience.

In the meantime, I’ve put a good dent in my TBR list. Put any of your most reads in the comments so I can top my list back up!
