Weekend Links
Breaking a “rule of awesome bloggers” to say I’m sorry for my obvious lack of blogging lately.

For Low Energy Homeschoolers
Melody over at Blossoming Joy has written a helpful piece on homeschooling, and living in general, with low energy:

Are any of you HSPs also low energy? I know I am. Sometimes I think having my defenses up most of the time to ward off a high energy world is tiring in itself, but now I know I’m also anemic, have low blood pressure, and I have all the symptoms of low thyroid (although I test normal.) Most days are like dragging myself through hot mud. Which is why this blog has like 3 posts, LOL. If this sounds like you, too, go over to Melody’s and read all about it. 🙂
