In this video, I talk about how the fountain pens and inks I've been writing with are working out! It has been a busy and strange month so far and I'm a week late with this progress report but better late than never! Other chat topics include: why I prefer a broad nib, show and tell on a few pens that came in, journaling and my bullet journal + I show my new sleep tracking. At the end I explain a little bit about the guardian situation and how I am working to appeal 2 decisions/departments for special consideration so my Mom can either get a higher level of care or stay where she is. Right now the powers that be (same agency oversees both the ALF and the Medicaid clinical evals) have not only denied Medicaid based on clinically not qualifying ... but also served us/Mom involuntary discharge notice from her assisted living. This situation is hard because we have to advocate like a totally impartial professional guardians (me and my brother) ... while at the same time it's so incredibly personal because we're also her children. Anyway, prayers are certainly welcomed.
Here is a list of the pens and inks talked about:
1. Lamy Vista B wtih Pennonia Nettle
2. Lamy Safari Light Rose B with Tom's Studio Rambling Rose
3. Lamy 2000 B with Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-gaki
4. Kaweco Sport AL Ruby BB with Tom's Studio Mulled Apple Spice
5. Benu Euphoria Pink Champagne B wtih Monteverde Rose Noir
6. Benu Talisman Sakura Cherry Blossoms B with Robert Oster Kids on the Block
7. TWSBI Eco Transparent Purple B with Diamine Lavender
8. rOtring Art Pen 1.1 [CHANGED TO: TWSBI ECO T - B Eggplant] with Pennonia Arvacska
9. TWSBI Eco Indigo/Bronze M with Diamine Oxford Blue
10. TWSBI Go B Smoke with Rohrer & Klingner Alt Goldgrun
