Rock hounds

[sasha_feather]

I went to a rock and mineral show today. My mom asked me what was the coolest thing I saw. I said, the people. Perhaps I should have just planted myself in a chair and watched people go by. Old guys, hipsters, long beards, a kid in a minion costume, a young lady with purple hair using a wheelchair and digging through a box of rocks, men with jewelry and fanny packs, a guy in a dirty shirt busting open geodes. A guy named Karsten whose store is called "Karstones". It felt like a Sci Fi convention, a bit, but just dealers, info tables, and maybe 2-3 demos.

I feel overwhelmingly exhausted today. My knees and ankles hurt. And my face. Iced my knees this evening. Tried to read but couldn't concentrated; watching TV instead.

Oh and I think I left my phone charger in Minnesota UGH.

Grateful for netflix, hulu, and my roommate's cooking, and wool sweaters.

Rock show sounds lovely & tiring. I find that any event on concrete in a hall with tall ceilings requires three times the energy as, say, a supermarket trip.

Phone chargers have become less brand specific, but it would cost less to mail than a new one.

I have two layers of thin wool on and it's magic! I'm warm enough but never too hot, cause wool breathes.

It would sure be nice to have an extra charger to save my future self this sort of grief! I could keep one in the car or something.

Concrete floors are torture on my knees; I decided to skip my volunteer job today in order to give them and my feet some rest. The show was also a pretty crowded environment.
