well...it finally happened.
I just got punched in the face by reality and my body reels back, wounded, exhausted, knocked out. Not just metaphorically.
I saw it coming but I decided not to hit below the belt.
I put up a good fight but he threw the final sucker punch.
I am putting down my gloves.
I am curling up with tea and some Agatha Christie.
I will knit something that only fits my toes and i will never teach anyone the stitch.
It will be secret and quiet and cozy and no one will know and it won't matter cuz its mine.
And with each step I take towards a life away from people who wish me harm, my tiny well insulated toes will whisper..."fuck you fuck you (someone's name that rhymes with you)"
yes i am knitting toe muffs.
