The missing man formation hurts, the empty table at the mess diners are emptier than they used to be, but the people we are missing are with us, in spirit.
You can actually feel them there.
When the bagpipes stop, the cries of the babies, in the cold, heavy silence of remembrance, /1

Me: I'm going to write today!
Opens the document, reads back, and deletes four paragraphs.
Well, that took an unexpected turn. I guess I'll be deleting what was causing the writer's block and go again today!
The joys of writing.

Our freedom was won by brave women and men who answered the call — including the heroic First Nations, Inuit, and Métis members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Question:
Why do people have to "purchase" healthcare? Where's the care in that?
Anyway, I had a procedure last week and it cost me 0$ and it cost my husband 5$ for parking.
Put the care back in health and make it free for everyone.

I wrote a bit today. I waa lost as how to proceed with a section of the plot so I closed my eyes, as did my MC and let instinct guide me and her. Kalixa's instincts are pretty good. I think she may find her way back to the hunter and bring him to thr Slayer Sword.

I took this picture of Da Red Gobbo's Tin man GW sent me to show how he looked after drybrushing, and zoomed out it looks like he has horrible, evil, squinty eyes. 😂
Gonna put some Reikland Fleshshade on to warm up the colour and try and ignore the eyes.

It feels like I have air in my throat and a huge ball stuck in there. The day after the procedure is not pleasant.
Well, time to ignore it and write.
Have a good day, friends.

All of the Warhammer stories I've written!
When I wandered into my local Games Workshop store as a kid more than 20 years ago I'd never have believed I'd get the chance to do this!
It's so fun & there's just as much wonder in the great, grimdark world of Warhammer as when I first encountered it 🖤

So the procedure went well enough. Found something, not sure what they'll do about it since we've tried all the types of medication that could control the symptoms. Waiting for a follow-up appointment. Meds are wearing off, so ugh.
More tests next month, for now, another new diagnosis.

I'm too nervous to write, so I decided to go back and edit Chapter 4. I like editing, it feels like I'm doing something right.
