My entire monthly spread got wrecked by a leaky pen

I was setting up my April pages last Friday with a new fountain pen I got. I left the notebook open on the kitchen table for maybe ten minutes, and my cat jumped up and knocked over a glass of water right onto it. The ink ran everywhere, smearing my calendar and task list into a blue mess. I had to carefully blot it and then redraw the whole thing on the next page, which took over an hour. Has anyone found a truly waterproof ink that still writes nice in a bullet journal?

I used to think waterproof inks were too fussy, but a spilled coffee changed my mind.

Interesting point, @reese124. I've always found the trade-off isn't worth it for my own notes. Most waterproof inks I've tried dry too slowly on the paper I use, and they can be a real pain to clean out of a pen if it sits for a week. I'd rather just be careful with my coffee cup.
