My mom had surgery this morning. All I know is my sister sent a text that says, “took half of one lung. think they got it all.” Since she is in the hospital I know she can’t take cell phone calls. I will have to wait until she goes outside for a smoke break or calls someone else in the family to relay all the details.
Bad News Via Text
This morning I got a text from my sister. It didn’t say anything except two words, “it’s cancer.” I was totally freaked out. Who has cancer? What is she talking about?
I tried to call her back and got no answer. I don’t even know what that means. Is she not answering because she is talking to someone else? Did she not answer because she is too upset to talk? Does she have access to her phone or is she in a hospital where they don’t let you use cell phones?
I was going crazy with worry and not getting an answer on her cell phone. So I sent a text back, “Pls call ASAP.” But so far have not heard from her.
Learning About Plugins
Most of what I need in my blog comes in the basic WordPress download. The only think I worried about was selecting a theme that suited my mood or my personality. I think I did well, with that pick.
But now I realize that there are some good extras you can download and install, called plugins. The best plugin is an anti-spam plugin called Akismet. It does an excellent job of monitoring your post comments for spam and it just deletes them for you. It works like a charm.
I’m about to try another plugin called All In One SEO. I’m not sure it will do any good for getting my blog better traffic and noticed by more people, but it can’t hurt.
