Drained

I'm exhausted right now, far more than I should be. I'm assuming it's a reaction to the stressful thing happening at work right now; emotional tension and uncertainty can be just as draining as real work, but not nearly as satisfying.

I'm craving some retail therapy, but I am trying to avoid it on general grounds of good sense--I don't need any more pens and I need to save money for the Kotei season and Gencon. On the other hand, this crane pen costs less than a bottle of perfume... So far I'm being saved by my general dislike of heavy pens and the sad memory of my blingy dragon pen which writes smoothly enough but is so heavy I can only use it for short letters. (And as a 0K2 weapon, but how many times is that going to be useful?)

I had plans for major housework tonight, but instead I think I'll eat dinner, listen to my Chris Whitley CDs, and nibble at writing. Writing can be frustrating, but I find it restorative none the less.

I just finished placing my first order for fountain pens. Should I ask for congratulations or intervention? :-D

I've gone for 3 different low-end pens: right now I am looking for something decent that I can take out of the house and not be crushed if I lose it. I'm also trying two different nib sizes (medium and fine) in the same pen to get an idea of what I like best. I'm happy with the medium nib in my Safari, but it never hurts to experiment.
