Write it down Wednesday PWYC
I'm in class again today - so it's Write it down Wednesday! Whether you're in a class taking notes or writing for pleasure (fiction, nonfiction, journal) remember to let those thoughts come untangling out your fingers, through your pen, and onto paper.
I find that using a good pen and good quality writing paper enhance the experience, particularly in my planner. I have a Tornado Retro 51 pen that stays in my planner (and another on my upstairs desk) and it feels so good to put the pen to paper. It's smooth and comes out dark and I keep refills around so I never run out of ink.
what things enhance the writing experience for you?

Re: Write it down Wednesday PWYC
Good morning!
Cathy - How are you and DH feeling?
Yes! I go through seasons of using pen/paper to capture my thoughts. When i am struggling the pen/paper method seems to calm some part of me and gives me the boost needed to get started again. The main method of thought capture that I have used for the past decade or so is digital. My laptop & phone both have a built-in stylus that I can use to handwrite notes on them. However, the method I use most often to get thoughts captured is the keyboard.let those thoughts come untangling out your fingers

Re: Write it down Wednesday PWYC
Morning girls…
Back from class and coffee with the girls and am now eating my brunch.
Next up…
Finish morning routines
Water my sunnies
Walgreens
Get my nails done
Groceries
I am definitely a pen and paper girl. I like the feel of writing this way, plus I remember things better this way. Right now I have a grocery list going. I keep a very small notebook and pen in the table beside my couch so I am write down things I find on FB or other sites I want to look up. It’s a running list that I cross off after I have looked things up.
I also have a page dedicated to shows on Netflix and such of things I want to watch. I also have an area where I list books or kindle books I want to read

Listening to c.e. class.
Weepy day yesterday lots of things in this month of losses of past family members in heaven now. ~Sigh~
full moon and eclipse this week could be a factor.
I did see more flowers in bloom on my walk yesterday that was good.
I need a bite of my breakfast. X
I need to put duds in the dryer. x
Waving have a great day!

Re: Write it down Wednesday PWYC
Not sure where to put this, but as you've heard, the other SHEForums phpBB is closing down, and the crew that posts daily in the fun and games thread would love to stay together. We're a tight knit group of about 11-12 SHEs from around the world, including 3 from Europe and 3 or more from Canada. Is it possible for us to move here?
If so, we're wondering if we could have our own "fun and games" thread here as we do at the old site? We all post lists - lots of lists and rather long ones; we keep our ideas organized on the website. Would that be OK in our own thread?
I'm already a member here, but I'm not sure about the others. Maybe Kitty is too. I see aflyer is here.
I've reached out to Kathryn in a PM. I'll reach out to Harriet or Twins as well.

Re: Write it down Wednesday PWYC
Helia = it is good to see you posting here. Harriet is the go-to person for questions about this SHE forum. Don't worry if it takes her a bit to respond because she has a slew of medical appointments happening. I am confident that Harriet will get back with you as soon as she can.
How much happiness and contentment can one person have? I hope I haven't exceeded my amount and it continues. I am thankful for each day that is filled with joy and doing things I am passionate about. I acknowledge that life isn't always filled with good times, so am grateful for these moments and want to soak them up to save.
Skippable garden chatter - All the tomato and pepper plants have been transplanted into 8" containers and are doing very well. I had to choose what to transplant next .....herbs or flowers? Herbs are a bit more finnicky about cool weather so I decided to start doing the flowers. I have 8 flowers transplanted into 8" pots so far today. i looooove having my hands in dirt and watching for the signs that spring brings.

Re: Write it down Wednesday PWYC
I completed every thing I need to do. I am tired so I’m taking a break.
Tomorrow I’ll be working on my side garden as well
As things in my house. It’s actually warmer this afternoon but not over night and early mornings. Right now my sunnies seeds are warming in the sun, but I will cover them before dinner.
I need to mop my floors but since I keep going in and out of the house from my yard so I’ll wait till I’m finished working outside. I am vacuuming the main areas each day to pick up all the stuff I’ve been tracking in

Re: Write it down Wednesday PWYC
The class is actually pretty boring this afternoon. It's using DNA in Research reports. She talks really fast and my head hurts and I guess I don't have ibuprofen or tylenol up here. Break is soon!
I walked the ddog a lap at the lunch break, two before class. She's up here messing with me (barking!) so I think I need another lap with her.
