The Chills & Fever Weekly Link Round-Up




I'm not going to say much because I might be contagious. I met some sort of bug who refused to leave me alone. Over two days of fever, chills, lack of appetite, and sick headache put me behind on all sorts of things. However, I am on the mend and looking forward to feeling like myself again. Enjoy the links!
