days_unfoldingI decided that I needed to do something frivolous this weekend, so I did go to the Tapestry Arts Festival today. I found a plaque with a Tennessee Williams quote that I liked:
I really like the artist's work. I wish that she had a web site.
I also hesitated over some Chinese calligraphy that stood for perseverance, but managed to resist. Same idea as the plaque, really. I also enjoyed quotes by Hewlett and Packard on The Tech museum, which I could have written down for free, but didn't. (The quotes aren't on The Tech's website, drat.)
I ran out of steam appallingly quickly, and stopped to get a banana milkshake. It tasted wonderful, but it didn't sit well at all. I thought that was because of all the sugar in the milkshake (I can't drink non-diet carbonated beverages because they upset my stomach. Seriously.), so I went off to get some solid food. It didn't help. Neither did food several hours later. My stomach is still upset right now. So either I'm coming down with something, I have a mild case of food poisoning, or I dehydrated myself and am having a lithium reaction. If I'm coming down with something, that would explain the exhaustion, earaches, and sore throat of the last couple of days. So, we'll see. I'm probably going to sleep soon and try to sleep it off.
I forgot that WorldCon was downtown as well as the arts festival. When I passed by the S.J. Convention Center, I was wondering if my ex-husband and my former sister-in-law were there. It's entirely possible. It's amusing that we both could be in the same area without realizing it.
I also was thinking about how much San Jose has really become my home, but I suppose that's a topic for another time.
The violets in the mountains
Have broken the rocks
