Why I've Been M.I.A.; Quick Thoughts

Don't worry, this will be shorter than usual. ;) In fact, these will be quick thoughts (like Friday's quick takes) so I don't write too much.

1) I've asked why I've been M.I.A. from blogging, Twitter, and Facebook. The answer is simple: a combination of being sick and work has kept me busy. I had a busy week freelance writing (I went non-stop for a few days) while dealing with stomach issues.

2) Ah, yes, the dreaded stomach issues. If there's one thing I've always had problems with (since I was a child), it's my stomach. I've gotten progressively worse lately (a parting gift from summer; *shakes fist.*) It's pretty bad at the moment but I have faith that it'll get better. I'm going to start a novena to St. Timothy today because I feel like crumbs and he's always intercede for me. btw, this is why I hate summer -- stomach issues almost always come out during the summer.

3) I have some good news on the writing front... but I'm going to wait until I receive the official word on when it will be published. Let's just say that this opportunity came at the right time and it's a huge blessing. Oh yes, and I also have some other exciting news that isn't related to publishing but is related to Catholic media. News on that in a couple of days. ;)

4) I want to ask y'all to please pray for the repose of the soul of Angela Faddis as well as for her family. She passed away on Friday. Even though I didn't personally know her, I had spoken to her husband Chris via twitter a couple of times in the past and their story hit close to home. She was truly an inspiration.

5) Can I just say how giddy I am that Autumn has begun?! It not only means the end of summer (♪ So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight... ♪), but it also means that Advent isn't too far away. Advent is quite possibly my favorite time of the year so I will be counting down the days.

6) Can I also say how much I HATE missing Mass? This is the third Sunday in a row. First two times because of horrible anxiety (which I haven't experienced in a number of days) and today because of stomach issues. It's a conspiracy.

That's it for now. It looks like my freelance work is going to be slow this week so I am hoping to blog more... but don't hold me to that because I won't know in advance. I occasionally get last minute assignments so we'll see. :D

I hope you all had a great week and weekend... and that you have a fantastic start of week. :D

As always, thanks for reading and God bless. :D
