Is there a pause button for life?
After thinking long and hard about this, I’ve decided to take some time off from blogging here at It’s Frugal Being Green. The blog isn’t going anywhere so you’ll still be able to come back any time to reference anything you’ve read. I just won’t be posting anything new for a while.
I’ve got radiation (for the grapefruit size tumor in my chest) starting in less than two weeks and I hear it makes you super tired. As soon as I’m recovered from radiation it’ll be time to head back to work full time and I’m already feeling overwhelmed by that. I’ve been on disability leave because the cancer has slowed me down so much that by the time I get to my appointments, eat, clean myself and the house, and exercise a bit the whole day is shot and soon here I have to add 8 hours in the office back into that mix again. And it’s not just physical fatigue, I’m distinctly suffering from “frugal fatigue” as well.
I’m planning to continue to remain active on Twitter and on my other blog, Carrie Actually, where I’ll be posting updates on my cancer treatment in addition to it’s regular geeky content.

I’ve just completed my last session of chemotherapy! Still have a couple months of radiation therapy scheduled before I’m ready to head back to work and boy am I anxious to get back to a normal life.
I invite you to read more about my cancer experience over at my personal blog Carrie Actually.

I’m a bit of a late adopter when it comes to anything Facebook related. My friends still tease me about being the last person ever to join despite the fact that I joined a couple years ago and other friends have joined since.
But I finally got a Facebook page set up for It’s Frugal Being Green and I invite you to become a fan.
Becoming a fan of It’s Frugal Being Green on Facebook will add a link, the first few sentences, and a picture from each new post to your Facebook feed as they are posted. It’s a great way to keep up with It’s Frugal Being Green if you’re on Facebook all the time.
If you’re on Twitter don’t forget that you can follow me there too! Send me a message so that I know you’re a reader and can follow you back (you know how it gets so hard to tell spam and real people apart sometimes).
It’s Frugal Being Green is moving to WordPress. The site may be down for a few hours but when the move is complete all links and feeds should continue to work.
