So sorry about your pen loss. My husband managed to misplaced/lost his Omar last week. Honestly, I think pens are really wanting to get out and about these days!

Knowing me, I put it in the fridge and will find it when I finally clear out those old take out containers.

Thanks for the good juju. Hoping one or both reappear soon.

I feel your pain. It is part and parcel of our attachments to treasured things. I’ve gotten into the habit of asking myself two solid questions before leaving the house with any pen, fountain or ballpoint. Can it be easily replaced? (In stock somewhere in my country, relatively affordable.) Will I become super emotional if and when it does become misplaced or is stolen? Then, breathe and go on.

Becoming more intentional about carrying methods is also something I’ve been thinking about. I thought I had a good method for carrying pens and such, but after an al fresco meeting, I discovered I was missing a Kaweco Sport with which I’d been taking notes. Love it, but it’s too apt to go missing when on the move. But most Sports can be easily replaced, even those with the BB nib. And let’s not talk about inadvertently dropping and dinging a Metro (one of my first “good” pens). It can now be carried freely since the preciousness has worn off.

I do hope you find your pens very soon,
