THE PAIN BEFORE THE WOUND

Gil-galad checked his weapons one last time. This would be the last battle. He knew it in his heart. He had made his goodbyes and was ready to march.

He’d told Elrond how much he cared for him, how his life had been blessed the day that Maglor and Maedhros had brought young Elrond and Elros and left them with him and Cirdan to care for.

Cirdan had been next. He loved Cirdan as a son would love his father. All he was, he owed to Cirdan and his love and advice down through the years.

No one knew the last elf he went to see. He went to the Green Wood encampment to see Oropher. The two kings rode their horses down to the stream where they’d often met and talked.

“This is the end, my friend. This day will see the end of the war and maybe the end of us as well,” Gil-galad said.

“I fear that you are right but it will be worth it if the war goes well for our side.”

They sat by the stream and drank one last drink before parting, never to see one another on the shores of Arda again.

I said I would so I am. I'm home alone today with the gout.

Larry is at his dad's working on taxes. His dad is sort of obsessed by taxes so the earlier Larry gets them done, the less he has to hear about them. He will stop for some tacos or something on the way home I hope.

I've been doing WW for 2 weeks and am down 10 pounds so of course you get this little note to consult your physician. Right. This is the guy who told me I should duct tape my mouth closed. I've called him about my gout but have heard nothing back, nor do I expect to really.

The weather is grey and ugly outside... a day that looks as weary as I feel. It is about time for my gout meds and some pain killers so maybe that will make me feel better.

Til tmorrow.

EDITED for very crappy typing skills!
