I heard from my friend, I think he was actually flattered that I patterned a character on him.  lol.  Men and their egos.  I feel so much better about it today. So I will do final editing and submit my story.  It probably won't win anything, but it definately won't if I don't enter it.  So here we go.   On the bad side, I barely slept last night at all.  This stupid tumor on my side kept waking me up.  Of course since I am so tired I will probably remember to pick up the lidocane patches from the drug store.  It only really hurts me at night, so during the day when I am busy, running to the drug store is not a high priority.  It will be today I can tell you.  My doc still hasn't called me about the neurosugeon he was going to refer me to.  I really want to get this thing off of me!  I am so tired.
