I worked in three modes this week. First, I taught in person Monday and Tuesday. This involved the usual analog bookkeeping and lesson planning. My electronic work was in our school learning management system (LMS), and in my virtual pacing guide.

The week ran lopsided from the get-go. I spent far more time writing for work than for myself. I intend for this coming week to flip the script through my holiday break. My Delike New Moon 2 arrived this week. It’s fun to meet a new pen. The Delike came with a misaligned nib. It’s less fun to need to tune your new pen out of the box.

A four-day workweek translated into a healthy mix of writing for work and writing for myself. A new pen arrived this week: the TWSBI Vac700R Iris. It motivated me to write more. The quality of my week can usually be measured in journal pages. This was a good week.

Migrating goals from one month’s bullet journaling to another creates a lot of writing. My pen usage is up quite a bit as a result. The transfer into November is one of the reasons I inked so many pens last week. The other is my childlike excitement with using fountain pens. Kid in a candy store.
