I am having technical difficulties with Word Press. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes my writing suddenly disappears and is lost forever. So no long blog posts until this is resolved.

Yeah, I’m really tired. Several days of little sleep and too much to do. Think sleepy thoughts!

I want to talk about making pauses and making lists, punctuationally speaking. Like many folks, I have yet to master the proper use of the comma. And if my comma use is bad, my use of punctuation before or between quotation marks is downright ghastly.

I apologize to those of you who have been bothered by my problems with writing mechanics. And for those of you that don’t like my using the word, “punctuationally”, get over it.

my surgeries went well. i am groggy but comfy. taking my pain meds then off to bed.

My mother’s cousin Rick’s wife, Brenda is also a breast cancer survivor. She is one of the many people taking part in the Susan G. Komen Three-Day walk this weekend. She will walk a total of 60 miles in three days! I could write a whole post about walking 60 miles in three days. Good Heavens, that’s a long way! I would like to do next year’s Three-Day Spa walk. Hmm, I anticipate a problem. I don’t think anyone would sponsor me. Going to a spa a day for three days is not quite as impressive as walking 20 miles a day, camping out two nights in pink tents. I bet it’s a life changing positive experience, though. And just think of all of the mental and physical benefits from the training, before hand.

Back to my main story. I made a contribution online for Brenda’s three day walk. To answer one of the questions on the form, I had to choose from one of a number of check boxes labeled, “I am a cancer survivor”, “I am a friend/loved one of a cancer survivor”, and “I am not affected by cancer.” I checked “I am a cancer survivor” because although I am still in treatment, I am also still breathing, last I checked.

We are enjoying our weekend away. I’m hoping for a walk in the woods and mountain vistas today.
