Planner Update and Wednesday Happenings

THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED. Yesterday I shared that the writing had disappeared from the bottom outer halves of my planner pages. Karen said “It probably IS due to the heat but not sure why just the edges. Frixion erases from heat. Try popping your planner in the refrigerator/freezer!”

That’s what I did… and the ink reappeared! Isn’t that cool? That is, it would be super cool if I were nine years old. Think of the possibilities… secret notes with disappearing ink! Not quite as cool for an adult who’s trying to get the most out of a planner. As to why it was only PART of the pages that disappeared, Nicole said “I use both the frixion pens and this exact planner. If that part of the planner was in the sun and the rest was in the shade, the sun would have warmed that area more and the ink will disappear.”

That is obviously exactly what happened. Needless to say, I will NOT be using these pens moving forward, or leaving my planner in the car. Thanks to Karen and Nicole (who also suggested putting the planner in the freezer). I never would have thought of that.

This means my May goals have reappeared, but I kind of wish they hadn’t. Could these goals be any less fun?

My Wednesday was really nice. After a run, breakfast, some reading and a couch nap (with cat, obviously) I did a little shoe shopping- well, browsing. I didn’t buy anything…

And then I went to Starbucks for more reading!

I accomplished my goal of reading a whole book- or I should say, I will accomplish it before I go to sleep. I love the feeling of getting in bed with my book, knowing I’m going to finish it.

And now… back to work. Sigh!

What would you do with a Wednesday off- no big chores or appointments?
