I've given up on both the February Sweater KAL and the Knitting Olympics. I'm neck deep in reorganizing (and purging) my storage room - and with the end in sight - I'm just not motivated to commit myself to a massive knitting challenge. I feel like an asshole because I organized the February Sweater KAL but I just don't have it in me right now. The storage room reorganization has been totally cathartic. I'm just not feeling sentimental about a lot of stuff anymore. Stuff that I've been holding on to for some reason all these years - old zines, derby detritus, triathlon race numbers, mismatching socks, old makeup, cassette & VHS tapes - it is all going in the trash. I'm keeping most of my books, photos, derby programs (that I designed), tools, a couple of love letters... Some of the trash isn't due to sentimentality, but more due to poor housekeeping/filing skills. Tax returns from the 1990s, ancient bank statements, prehistoric paycheck stubs, etc. Soon I'll have a clean and organized storage room, I'm SO looking forward to it. A storage room that I don't have to think of as my dirty little secret! Hell yeah!
