Obsessively refreshing the tracking page for a package that is (finally) in the US, but is stuck in the black hole that is ISC Chicago is an exercise in futility. And yet, I do it anyway. Why?!? 🤦‍♀️

I wish I knew in my 30s what I know now. About so many things.

I got so used to not interacting with anyone over on the toxic place that it's been really hard to break myself of that habit. I'm going to try harder though.

This is one of my favorite #fountainpen photos. It was taken in Orleans on Cape Cod in 2017, on one of the last vacations I took with my mom. The pen is an Aurora Optima Mare LE.

If anyone needs me I’m stuck on the couch under a sleeping kitty. This is a good excuse for not getting anything done today, right? Happy Caturday! #caturday

It’s been 13 months since my first and only post so I figured it was probably time for a second one.

Sunday afternoon: Enjoying the mid-afternoon sun and finally putting my new Hinoki pen box to use. Isn’t she pretty? 💙
