I've had butterflies in my stomach all day with absolutely no reason nor clue as to why. No new women in my life to speak of that would cause such a feeling. Maybe I'm missing something.
Finally feel rested and without pressure to do anything in particular. Which means I want to do things now. Steel beams and welding are in my future, as is finishing a stereo set-up. It's an amazing feeling not to have work hanging over your head for once. To actually know you don't have much to worry about other than what you choose to. Fucking love...

Just made a good day even better, kitten.

Lay off the squirrel suit buddy! I hope you had a great Christmas!
I hope you had a great Christmas!Sleep and rest are my friends right now, ones I rarely see though. Sorry if I haven't written back. Been a bit exhausted. It's a shame aggravated assault is a crime.
Appraisal done. Now back to your normal jewelry insanity.
Christ this appraisal is killing me. I want it done and out of the way so I can move on to better work, or at least new work. There are custom pieces I want to jump headlong into. But no, I'm stuck writing up tchotches.
I'm distracting myself from finishing an estate appraisal, an expensive estate appraisal. Writing my master's thesis was more fun and easier than this. So fucking brain dead right now.

Oh, and the appraisal is a monster. Some 240 items to catalog and price. I've spent over 200 hours working on it; typing, researching, grading, crunching numbers and trying to assess the appropriate price for items that are really invaluable. One of a kind pieces, Tiffany's pieces a hundred years old, wristwatches worth as much as a new Audi A4 and diamonds that could buy you an Aston Martin or a small Peruvian boy. Insanity I say.
rickroyal:
Damn. That does sound tedious. Best of luck with all of that.
Can anyone think of a reason why I shouldn't buy a $1,200.00 turntable? Legitimate reasons please. None of this "you so crazy".

rickroyal:
Might be boring, but a calculation of expense/profit would most likely do it. What will be your profit (not necessarily money) from getting the turntable and will that offset the $1200 (either sooner or later).
For example, last year I upgraded my camera. Body, lenses, other assorted equipment ran me about $2000. I'm not a pro. I don't make money from my photography. It's just a hobby. Is the enjoyment from the hobby (profit) greater than the expense? For me, yes.
Will you get ~$1200 worth of value out of the turntable? If so, buy it and enjoy. If not, don't.

Rickroyal, that is by far the best justification for buying something most would say is ridiculously expensive. You're a goddamn genius. Thank you.
Ah, rejection, again. Surprisingly I'm less upset by this than the rest of the fucked up things happening around me. Probably because I already know this emotion. All the rest is new.
Fuck me, does it ever end, or even get just a little better? I'm going to go pick a fight with that wall again. It's just asking for it.
