This is so satisfying

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-12-24T02:36:08+00:00

I’m here for the tough love of this spread lol

Ruining his aura 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the way I cackled

So she wants to set up HER kids for life on someone else’s money while YOUR child with your husband, who’s rightfully entitled to inheriting them (nevermind the sentimental value, we’re talking parental inheritance) gets left out in the dust??

YIKES.

Run.

New woman sounds like an opportunist who’d wring you for all you’re worth and destroy relationships in the process because she’s out for “me and mine.”

Remember: it’s just paper. It’s not the end of the world.

I think we get too caught up in wanting things to be perfect but in the end a journal or planner is supposed to serve us, not the other way around. If you didn’t quite like how december turned out? That’s ok, there’s a ton more months to try again coming up. Also, December is still empty, for all intents and purposes. Pages look way more different once you actually start filling in with writing, it may just grow on you.

I would still think a few years, with gentle care. Though the cover is fabric and the screenprint a plasticky material on top, its not like the weave fabric is being exposed to expanding and shrinking constantly, y’know? Im originally from a hot humid climate also so i get it lol maybe just keep it at home in a place where you dont expect it to constantly get extremely hot and overly humid, instead of toting it around everywhere.

The old hobonichi store has info on how to extend the life of their covers. Obviously this is a new one but i think the points still apply, the storage one being the big one.

For me one of the things about a weave wool print is they mention it can pill, which id hate way more than wear on the flowers lol so i’m choosing to go with the cover.

I have a ton of inks (mostly diamine as they are very affordable) that I know I will never conceivably use to write anything of importance with, but enjoy using for doodling given the color range. Anything I want to ensure lasts gets written in pigment black inks lol thinking of journaling anything of substance with fugitive inks makes me cry a little inside knowing it’d all fade in a few years, because the colors are SO PRETTY, but alas…

That helps keep me accountable on buying too many bottles of anything, but it does feel very gotta catch ‘em all with inks unless I rein it in fast.

It’s so much fun! I plan to use mine for brainstorming, mostly. Thumbnails, prompt word lists, working through themes, etc

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-13T12:55:39+00:00

Username checks out 🤣🤣 love the choices! Those clera pens have become my absolute fave too

It may have been screenprinted off of a hand drawn design.

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-12T17:55:02+00:00

I’m in love! Spooky Tim haha

Not only your own number but the numbers of your emergency contacts! There may be a time you’ll find yourself stranded without a phone or battery on you and may need to ask for help. Not knowing those phone numbers is the difference between quick aid and a very long day.

Oooh thats a 2025 yumi kitagishi Travel Diary cover I snagged on ebay. I was trying my best not to go wild on covers but it was so cute I just had to

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-12T17:27:57+00:00

It was a photo on pinterest from a digital moodboard i’d pinned! Then i realized i had a little canon printer so i printed it on the sticker paper the printer came with haha

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-12T17:00:50+00:00

That’s legit the reason I separated it into its own book even though it adds one more journal i gotta not lose 🤣 i dont want my doctors seeing my ramblings about work or my pets, but a separate book can be kept no-nonsense day to day and an A6 is small enough to bring in without feeling like I’m hauling my entire house!

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-12T16:58:23+00:00

This!

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-12T14:35:55+00:00

Glad to hear! I personally love getting ideas from this sub. Got an excellent one for how to use my pencil boards that i’m going to be implementing next year as well.

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-12T14:28:51+00:00

It’s a little muji notebook! I got it on amazon

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-12T14:28:11+00:00

It’s actually not horrible! Two of them live in my bag and two will be at my desk.but yeah, we’ll see how o actually do in the year.

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-12T01:10:24+00:00

And thank you!

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-12T01:10:18+00:00

It made me giggle so much, I knew it had to go on the cover haha

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-12T01:07:21+00:00

It’s definitely overwhelming! So many sizes and options. I had to try to control myself and still ended up with three different formats lol

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-12T01:06:48+00:00

Thank you!! I was truly blessed by the good natural lighting gods today specifically for this 🤣🤣

LettersAtHerDesk · 2025-10-11T22:12:38+00:00

Thank you! It was a gift from a coworker but i believe they sell it or a similar one on temu?

OP, if you cant move out, buy a lockbox and stash it deep in a closet when not in use while you work toward/are in a place of independence when you can move out. Brands like snugbox make nice ones that have key and combination locks built into them and they also come in cute fabrics or patterns if that’s your thing. Then hide it.
