<p>Upon arriving in Chicago we were a flurry of action, transforming our lovely host’s beautiful condo into a functioning kitchen and dining room. We were again blessed with a painful cold snap, which we used to our benefit by turning what was supposed to be a washer and dryer room into a walk-in freezer by opening the windows. Seems silly but this open and flat cold space was the key to being able to make this apartment a functional space to serve the meal.</p>

It turns that into this every time:

a huge block with out formatting returns?

yeah it is weird
but i put this in for text:

After volley of retaliatory missed calls and text messages, I collected myself and prepared for the day in which I would be cooking in what I could only imagine was waist-deep water. Collecting a couple gallons of coffee from the aforementioned purveyor we dove head first into what could have only been a nightmare.

Upon breaking into the confines of our temporary home, I was relieved to see that there was no standing water and the only real causality for the evening was everyone’s sleep and a rug of Crate and Barrel origin. Since I had not been there I leave it to Mayur to recount the evenings happenings to you

and this is what i got out and not matter what i did in the HTML editor to reformat it it always looked like this. It removes <br /> tags in ever instance and replaces them with <p>

Thank you again for your time and assistance

Changed the theme and that didn’t solve either problem.

I have also deleted any non used plug-ins

Thank you
I am on it

deactivated all the plugins and it didn’t help either the weird formatting situation or the ability to preview or see private posts.

checking the theme now.
