Things are moving quickly
We put our house on the market yesterday yesterday morning by the afternoon, we already had a realtor wanting to show our house to a buyer and then another that evening wanting to video our house for another buyer (most likely our of state). So two showings and the house has only been on the market for 1 day.

@Anthony Buntyn Glad you think so, I do as well but no one is here to ask. Working on getting out of the house for the first showing.

@Anthony Buntyn Thanks. This one is just the realtor to take video for the people out of state. There have been a lot of families moving from California lately.
What have you spent too much money on?
We all have that thing in our wardrobe we have spent too much money on. A guilty pleasure, something we really really wanted. Maybe a watch, a ring, a bespoke suit? Spending too much money is relative, if you love it then it wasn't too much money. But what do you feel guilty about buying? What is your story? Mine is a Fedora. I have at least a dozen fedoras of various qualities and looks. I am a thrifty person so I usually look for very good deals in vintage Fedoras. However, recently I found a vintage Mallory beaver felt chocolate brown fedora from the mid 1940s in nearly mint condition (I thought) on ebay. It cost 4 times what I would normally spend but it was exactly what I wanted. When I got it in the mail I sent it directly to McLaughlin & Hayes in Milwaukee for a full professional cleaning and reblocking. To my annoyance as could be expected the hat band stitching was rotting off the hat and it had to be replaced and restitched and the original band reinforced. The restoration bill cost more than the hat, which was 4 tines more than I should have spent. A little over $450.00 for a fedora....Oops...but I got what I wanted. I will send photos when I get it back. What's your story?

I have an ESQ watch that I bought on my honeymoon in Cancun 22 years ago. Something broke inside it a few years after I bought it and I could never afford to get it fixed but it was so special to me that I ended up about 6 months ago spending a lot more than I originally paid for the watch to get it fixed. In my opinion, it was well worth it.
Leading a notebook as a life-changing habbit
Hello, Ladies and Gentleman, this post will be about how one simple decision for your own good can change your lifestyle. About notebooks, I have two, one standard A5 for my thoughts, written in my room. The second notebook is smaller, it's for the same purpose, but during work (especially night shifts) or traveling. Everything started four months ago, when I started my white collar job. I was excited at the beginning, but for a time I was getting more and more stressed, exhausted, making mistakes and feeling of pressure led me to bad habits from the past, like porn. Also, I just started drinking alcohol, not like drinking to death, but by buying myself a beer, or just drinking alcohol from home storage, hiding it from my parents. I was feeling bad and depressed. I don't know any 20 yo in my area who went to weekend university and got a job at the same time. I'm always the one who provides maturity and wisdom in my friends group. A lot of bad events were just escalating, like multiple rejections, delayed promotion. Only one thing that's holding me to this day (by inspiration) is the Mad Men series. The character of Don Draper just persuaded me to try wearing a suits without vests, which new style made good impression on my peers at university (especially ladies). I even bought a fedora. During one episode, the protagonist started leading a journal, that made me into writing my thoughts, feelings, everything I has in my head at any moment. This idea was great shot, my written thoughts lead me to stop feeling bad, expressing my thoughts, that lead me into into idea trying to get rid of stress instead of fighting with addictions (cause they start to dissapear with stress), which lead me to succesful pushing forward, rejected my over-working routine I had before, for caring about my skin, diet, habbits and sleep, even finding more outfit inspirations from what I have. That's how one habbit lead to change way of my thinking and living. Cheers

@Jason Rochester @Julian T Don Draper is a role model in some aspects but I don't think he was an honorable man. He did lead two different lives so I would pick that apart from his business life. Don't get me wrong, I liked the series and think that he is a man that can be looked up to but he had a part of him that we should stay away from.
