[Pen/Pencil Review] Sort of… Bic Sugar Skull 4-Color Ballpoint
Happy Dia de los Muertos to those who celebrate. This isn’t a for-real pen review blog. It’s an “I’m not dead yet” pen blog – on an appropriate day for that.
Today, as I was sorting through some stuff, I found this – a vintage 4-Color Bic Ballpoint pen in a Sugar Skull pattern that was part of a batch we got from a pen collector Jimmy know – George Fox, I believe, from Kileen. If I had remembered earlier that I had this, I would’ve been using it all last week.
I’ve started working on an edit/re-read of a project. I have some plot bunnies. The mojo is slowly seeping back in.
I also have an appointment to get a steroid shot in my neck tomorrow – because I don’t have carpal tunnel, I have squished discs in my neck – physical therapy (a lot of the same exercises and the same therapist as with my shoulder), and this shot coming up. Seriously, forget my car — where’s my extended warranty on MY BODY? Jiminy… though this is probably a cumulative effect of some car accidents I had back in the 1990s and decades of not having insurance. The Adulting is REAL, folks!!!!
I’ll be reaching my out of pocket on insurance tomorrow. Kinda wondering what else I can go get checked out.
So, finding the Dia de los Muertos pen again, bonus. It feels appropriate. Here’s hoping this is just the beginning of getting all the mojo back and getting all my crap back on track.
If you’re sticking with me, thanks. Seriously. But hey, look, it’s a blog post!
