Not A Great Day Today
End of chemo week usually means a litlte memory lapse. I worte a post over 2000 words, left for awhile and came to pick up where I left off, instead of saving I deleted the whole post.
This has now happened to me a few times. Gets discouraginng when you are writing and then lose everything because of memory or brain malfunction.
I decided to shelve today to start again in the morning. Tomorrow is a new day right!

Jagi hi, sorry to hear about this. Check your deleted folder (trash), it may still be there.
Sorry to hear Jagi. Hang in there. These things happen and I know how frustrating it can be. Take a break, pause, and then come back to it later. You may find the second time around is not only easier but turns out even better.
Oh no, that is awful, what’s worse is the self flagellation that follows, (well in my case at least) but just remember this, you did it, you wrote it, no you may not have saved it, you may not remember exactly or even half of what you wrote, but it’s there and when you start again today it will kinda come back. It will be better.
More than that, you are working and writing when many of us would use illness and treatment as a justifiable reason to slow or even stop. So don’t beat yourself up any more, you are sitting in front of your screen which takes huge psychological effort. So just for today, eat cake, drink Tea and tell yourself how brilliant you are,.........because Jag you are......

Oh Jag, that's not fair. Hope you feel better tomorrow. Bet that post will be even better.
Rest.

It happened to me basically out of my absent-mindedness. I could relate how frustrating to feel of losing the composition you so gingerly created and in the end, it would just be deleted. It's heartbreaking! Well, there is no meaning in crying over spilled milk so went on with my life. - Florentino
PS. I wish you get well soon.
Yes, it is. Do not get discouraged. I have found when I write a sizeable blog, and hit the wrong button, and erase my thoughts, I get crazy, and think why and how did this happen?
Reasons, why we do this, can be from several things, but the result is, maybe it wasn't meant to be written. Your best writings are yet to come. Think about that for a minute.
I am looking forward to reading your next BEST blog.
Chemo does this to you, you are going to be great, never give up, and as I said, I am looking forward to your next GREAT blog.
Many blessings.
Been resting lots, it took me at least 4 days to get to writing this post, but I guess that's the way life goes. Thank you for your kind words.
Awwww.. So sorry Jagi. I've been down the chemo road. It's no fun. But at least you have your website to focus on! You will overcome this stage in life. It's just a bump in the road. :)
I wish you a Great day tomorrow and more going forward.

Oh I have so done that. Lost a good one, too! You're not alone. I have post concussion issues that affect my short term memory. Learning stuff like this is super hard for me. Nothing like going through chemo, but challenging as well. Hang in there. Give yourself a break. Hugs from San Antonio!

I hear you, learning something new is hard. But lots of support here keeps me going.
