I admired it some more , wrote down identifying information and then reluctantly , but firmly returned it to the place in the owner 's pattern - resolute in my determination to locate one . I went home and typed in Vintage Knitting as bidden ... . only to my horror and disappointment to discover there were 1,900 entries in that section , most of which - as I scrolled down the page - I either owned , or remembered seeing in shops , when shops sold haberdashery in the not so distant past . In fact , on further investigation I discovered I owned older knickers than some of the entries .

A: Why is the person disappointed ?

Today was a good day . ( And that is a REALLY boring way to start anything . ) Today I did nothing of particular interest . ( It sounds a little more sophisticated , but it is n't completely true .

A: What may be the reason for today being a good day ?

It 's an hour or so to the head of the valley , and I was already in thick snow by then . From there it 's a solid climb for another 45 minutes or so up the ' Devils Staircase ' which is about as steep as a staircase . Then there was what seemed like the ' trudge of doom ' across the flat ' South Crater ' through mostly firm snow , followed by another stiff climb up to Red Crater . By then the snow was getting quite icy and I was glad I brought my crampons .

A: What might be true about me ?

. now i do feel sad and lost . for the first time there is no urgent ice to buy , meds to give , memorial service to plan , phone calls to make , paperwork to file , or house to clean .

A:
What may be a fact about this person 's situation ?
