thoughts

the pen came
it's nice
the ink seems darker
maybe because the line is thinner
BUT 
it's not a thin line
honestly 
I enjoy a thinner line, but this is a really good compromise between a glassy smooth writing experience -- which I used to prefer
& a pencil-y feedback -- which my favorite nib has

my favorite nib -- holding the pen is uncomfortable 

my favorite pen holding experience -- I don't like the nib

at some point 
I want to try to get the nib put into the body
BUT 
that will probably need technical support 

the pen I now carry around with me
is a cheap pen -- jinhao 1909(?) which has a huge ink capacity 
a smooth nib
& a comfortable light weight holding experience 

I do like a heavier pen
this pen is moderate weight
comfortable to hold
SMALL ink capacity 

it's not perfect 
& it's hard to get the ridges to perfectly align

-- which doesn't bother me as much as I might have expected -- which I didn't because every review that mentioned it said it was not a problem 

the noise has stopped 
Kitty is sleeping happily supervising me

my mom's trainer called me 
I didn't pick up
I checked the message 
she's worried 
because my mom hasn't called her back

I texted her an update 

I feel ok
I'm taking it easy
