Notebooks - Sunday Sensations

I really enjoy writing things down. Random notes, lines from poems, quotes, stuff that gets stuck in my mind. I write them down in notebooks and forget about them, then come across them months later and smile.

Mostly I like writing things down by hand. My handwriting is horrible and oftentimes people have trouble reading it, but when I decipher some scribbled passage, and discover something that used to be on my mind ages ago, it makes me happy. Somehow, some little part of past-me survived and made it all the way to future-me.

I have tons of notebooks, different sizes and covers (I was going to say shapes, but they are all rectangular). But lately I have found that at the post office they have the old "China books" from my childhood (only in slightly worse quality and often blue instead of red). So I have started to use them again. Here is an old one:


As you can see it is pretty worn. I used to decorate them like this, with cool things I would find while I was using it, but after a while it annoyed me. Every time my notebook would be perfect, I had to get a new one because it was full.

Now I usually just staple a really thin plastic folder on the inside cover to keep track of loose papers.
I guess we all grow up sometime...

As I add to these notebooks quite often I sometimes find it hard to find one simple thing. So to combat this I try to keep notebooks for specific things. I have one for recipes, one for drink recipes, one for books and one for computer stuff.
They all look alike so it can be quite a gamble to find the one I need. I really should find some stickers...

That is all for this Sunday, now I am going to go back to considering going for a walk.
(Spoiler: I wont go)

Have a great Sunday.
