This is a test post, part of an effort to solve Janet’s problem with random font changes showing up in her posts, unwanted. Hidden from view are many other weird formatting statements in the underlying HTML. She correctly identified the source of the problem as the fact that she writes her posts in Word, then cuts and pastes them to the blog.

This is a second paragraph saying nothing but doing its job being a second paragraph.

First I’m going to post this strictly cut-and-paste; then I’ll repost it after saving it as a text file, which I think might do the trick.

We’ll see.

I will post about the Mt. Fuji climb later, but felt my need to write this override my need to go to bed.

I have been blessed with many healthy loved ones and have only had to say goodbye to a few, so maybe that is why this weekend was the first time that I felt very close to someone I hadn’t been near in a long time. This weekend I climbed Mt. Fuji with my mother’s father, my grandpa. Even by the time I came along he was still traveling the world and climbing mountains, though he often pushed himself beyond what his aging body could handle. As I started the climb up Mt. Fuji’s forested slope I thought of the task ahead of me and how my grandpa would be so proud and excited for me. I felt him looking down on me and cheering me on. I thought of him many times while going up and coming down that majestic mountain. (More)

I wish I could post the whole story of the Mt. Fuji climb now, but that will have to wait. I wanted to say that I’m home alive, but I’ve never pushed myself so hard in my life. It took 22 hours (none of which was spent sleeping) from the very base (2:30pm) to the top (4am) to the base again (12:30pm) and I didn’t get back home until 7:30 last night (Sunday). Rather than write a post I washed my clothes. If you could have smelled them you would understand. I was in bed at 9 and didn’t get up until just before school. My brain still isn’t fully functioning so I’m going to bed soon again. It was an incredible experience and I’m glad I did it. I just wish I’d had a little recovery time! Oh, I wish I could write about it now, but I’m so behind in things here and at work. I love you all and I’m working hard to get things under control so I can keep in touch as much as I’d like to.

Love,

Janet
