Got my new pen inked up last night and did some scribbling. it's taking a little bit to break it in, but I think it will be a nice pen when it settles in. One of the ink samples I got is amazing. It's called Emerald Chivor by Jacques Herbin

Love the color of the ink, and the shimmer is amazing! Looking forward to doing more with that, and I suspect a full bottle will happen.
Otherwise spent a bit of time in Minecraft last night. Nothing too exciting, but making progress on some mapping near the latest village revival.
didn't break out the c64 mini.
I did watch several more reviews of the Korg SV-2 Stage Piano. This is the upgrade to the one I currently have, and given the differences, I'm extremely tempted to trade up. In fact, I suspect it is less of an if and more of a when. The onboard speakers will be a nice feature, and they went with a new sound engine and the Grand Piano patches are beautiful. :-)
Still have been too tired to read at my usual time. I think I need to stop doomscrolling and invest that time in reading my book. And while I haven't been staying up late reading, I am happy that I have mostly been sleeping ok. Early awakes seem the way things go lately, and I'm not sure what will change or if it will change. But we'll see.
New bed continues to be comfy and my back is slowly adjusting.
Not sure what self care will look like tonight, but I'm hopeful to get some time for it and relax.
Streaming concert tomorrow from the back yard. Should be fun. :-)
