the state

I haven't posted my glad game in a couple weeks. I really should but just can't be bothered.

I haven't posted the weekly topic lately. Need to do that.

I have some sewing still to do before war. It will get done. Eventually.

I need to pull out the war garb bin and go through it and find what garb I need to take out and/or add.

I see people posting about how excited they are getting for war to happen. I recall fondly of those years where I got the excited butterfly-stomach feeling when thinking that War was only X days away. But I just don't have it anymore. I haven't for a while. I don't know if it is because the dynamics in camp are so different now, or I've just gotten older or more cynical or what. I know that I will enjoy war when I get there and see people that I haven't seen in ages, when I get to sit just outside Point and watch Pennsic wake up, when I sit in a golf cart for the first time this year. But right now when I think of Pennsic, the only thought I have is "meh".

I just can't drum up the excitement. And that kind of saddens me.
