All Things End, part III
Jan. 15th, 2013 03:31 pmI've had a lot of trouble being motivated to do much of anything these days. I blamed much on the weather - it is dark, cold, and wet, which makes me just want to curl up with a good book, and some I've blamed on the good book itself, because Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore continues to be a fun read. (Despite the dual complaints at Amazon that there is no Big Evil to fight and that the characters weren't, and I quote exactly, "fully flushed.")
But I think I've missed the depressive factor, and it's not due to the drippy weather. The entropy death of my beloved yarn store is accellerating, and I'm not being given time to mourn. I just received a notice that might as well have read "Knit Night As You Knew It Is Dead." There will be a gathering, I'm sure - there was an almost protest circle sitting at the table and pulling out the pointy sticks on the first day of the sale. Despite the proprietarily grinning interloper in the suit, we are not giving up our yarn home easily.
But my personal "date night" of doing things at home, taking myself out to dinner, and then sitting and knitting? Not happening. Probably happening in reverse order, actually - I'll go straight to the store after work to see what fresh hell this is, knit for a bit (if I can without crying), pick up dinner, and then go home.
Rumor has it that there's a knitting circle at Wegman's but that it's "cliquey." Not a big inducement, that.
Is it the weather, the sale, or the knowledge that I've permanently lost my "treat night" out that's knocking the knees out from under me? Does the answer matter, when all of it's happening regardless?
