I have been a very bad blogger and bookworm lately! I am aiming to correct this with some nice reading sessions that I have planned coming up. I'm still trying to get through a few books for the Sci-Fi Summer Readathon!
My reading goals this week:
- Finish up Rhapsody (I'm like a little over halfway done with it)
- Elantris
- Prophecy (Get started at least 50-100 pages in)
I am also going to chuck in some Sherlock Holmes (quick reads) and try to post a review this week.
I am thinking about sliding in some blog tour posts as well, but not sure yet.
Personally I've been struggling with mental Health a bit. A lot of things have been going on that have been keeping me down though I am trying to Correct them with diet, exercise and journaling. Long story short, my son (19) has been accepted into a School program he wants to do. I am super proud of him, but the school is in a different state a whole 8 hours away. The program runs for about 7-8 months and well he'll have to live there. I already don't see him as much as I like, he works and lives with his Dad (about an hour away) and transportation issues keep me from being able to visit him and vice versa. I know it's a fact of life, baby birds gotta fly, etc., but it really does bring me down. I am so happy he's excited and going to learn so much, but I can't help but feel a bit obsolete sometimes. I know I'm not, but it feels that way. He's just had a weekend visit with me and I can already feel the sadness of him not being here kicking in. It's especially worse because I don't know when he'll be able to come back again. So I'm going to try to distract myself. Focus on my health goals, work, my reading, my own learning (I'm in school and teaching myself Latin), my veggie garden, and of course blogging more. I will be fine.
So share with me what you are reading this week and of course how you are doing?
