I put in my big Paperblanks order. It ended up being the Dickinson journal over The Little Prince which, in the end, I think was a good call - although we'er probably still going to use TLP as a leitmotif in the correspondence eventually.

3 bookmarks, a pack of pencils, a pencilcase, a canvas bag and the daily planner + notebook. It was expensive, but I can manage for this round. Better than having to order in smaller batches and have to pay for shipping each time on top.

It should be here in a week. I'm hoping before the weekend, because sometimes DHL is fast, but I can survive until the other side of the weekend, of course, if I must.

I'm just so ridiculously happy. I'm so happy that I did this for myself (and that my girlfriend helped). It's been a dream for a while and Marie-Claude deserves good stationary for her big project. As gf and I talked about today over dinner (which was hotdogs, simple but perfect for the weather), although it's a correspondence between Jean Louis and her, it is truly Marie-Claude's character arc that is front and center. JL has reached a point of stagnation and only needs to settle into that state of immobility. Whereas Marie-Claude grows. I like that. And I like that gf and I agree on it, too.

End of the week can't come fast enough, so we can begin.
