I’ve been told that my blog needs to be kept updated at all times. Funny, I haven’t heard any complaints until now. But I should tell you why it’s always a couple of days behind.
First of all, Blogger stamps each entry with the date and time of when the first entry was saved. Unfortunately, this is not user-controlled, so if I wait a day until the entry is ready, then its marked a day later than when it’s supposed to be. So I often “bookmark” a spot until the entry is ready for publication. I can always edit an entry later and the date/time stamp remains the same.
Second, I try to use both hands when I’m typing, but my right hand is still limited by the effects of the stroke. This usually results in misspelled words and grammatical errors. I used to type directly into the blog website, but now I use Word with the spell-check and grammar-check enabled, in order to catch errors before I save them on the blog itself.
But typing still takes time because my right hand is not as strong as it used to be. For example, today’s entry may be short but it still took me 2 hours to make the entry, including correcting errors.
I’m still working on yesterday’s entry but a lot happened on Sunday and it’s just taking time. I estimate about 6 hours plus of work on that entry, excluding time for eating, sleeping, and therapy. So please be patient with me. Thanks.
A YEAR AGO TODAY: Nothing of note happened today as it was a Sunday and no therapies were scheduled. My sister came by in the afternoon for a visit.
A word about my blog .....
I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).
For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.
