lunabee341. Moar Christmas cards from chelseagirl, spikedluv, and aurumcalendula!
2. Since I complained here, I feel I must tell you that my MIL received the card I sent 18 days after it was postmarked instead of misplacing it as I had feared. I am starting to worry that I should not have put the power bill in the mail last week. The bills we get in the next few weeks I will pay online or by phone because I don't trust them to be delivered on time.
3. I am super stoked about Yuletide!! I wrote my main gift plus one treat. One is for one of the most obscure fandoms in Yuletide, and the other is for one of the most popular. Feel free to guess!
4. I'm so new to fountain pen use that a lot of the time I don't know what more seasoned users are talking about when they describe phenomena, but now I know what a dry ink writes like, and I hates it!! I put a red, random cartridge in my Yafa Icona, and I really did not like the way it wrote with that ink. I've read over and over again that the ink really affects the writing experience besides looks, but I didn't quite believe it until this experience. I cannot abide waste, so I used up the whole cartridge, but now I have a random blue in, and the pen is writing beautifully again. I cannot wait until after Christmas. At some point in January, probably the end given how slow mail is going right now, I'm going to place a Jetpens order and get some bottled ink and some Tomoe River paper to try.
