I thought I made myself clear, STOP IT with friends who are leaving this world.  Found out that a dear friend, Kellie Slade left us after a lengthy and brave battle with breast cancer.  DAMMIT!!!  I don't know if I can take this.  Kellie was an absolute hoot.  Her husband Jim has known The Hubby since they were toddlers.  Their mothers were best friends.  Kellie was a whirlwind of fun and laughter and she will be greatly missed.  I'm just heartsick over this loss.  Her birthday was the same as my sister.  She passed 3 days after her birthday.

Quick note:  I went to the ear, Nose and throat doctor today and after he asked questions, looked around my mouth and scoped my nose down my throat declared it was allergies and acid reflux.  WTF!!!  How do you explain an excruciatingly painful sore throat for nearly two months!  CRAP...CRAP...CRAP!  He did prescribe a steroid, allergy nose spray and acid reflux medicine.  This is simply crazy.  I am glad he prescribed the steroid as I think that will help but allergies and reflux!  It's true then that I maybe stressing so much over everything I'm making it worse.  The brain is still such an uncharted thing.
