Low level anxiety caused by the lack of certainty that they'll sell for a profit?
I have the same kind of reaction whenever I have to wait for results of exams, job interviews, etc.

Yeah, something like that. It's just kind of messed up that it's causing me anxiety at all - I don't want the items any more, I have no use for them, they were just occupying an entire closet, their cost was entirely sunk, and it'll be nice to get a nice fat check. Auctions are always kind of a roll of the dice though - I have nightmarish thoughts of only realizing a tenth of the value, for example.

Shocked at the levels of dishonesty some people will go to in order to cover their obviously exposed ass.
I guess I shouldn't be shocked anymore. I've seen it so many times before. I'm shocked at the brain's ability to defend utter crud as if it was gold dust.

I can't with forum essays
I'm getting more conscious of it. Like I realise these are spaces to write fully formed opinions, have discussions, maybe debate sometimes, but damn, if your post is over 500 words I'm not reading it. Especially if it's one continuous unbroken prose as well.

Break it up a bit. Make some paragraphs, throw a gif in maybe. Make it easy to read.
Why is my scalp itching so much? Getting on my nerves.

Plus those that act like punctuation exists just to mess with our heads, and will make no attempt, correct or otherwise, to punctuate or capitalize properly.
As for me, the shoulder is still bugging me. Got much better for a while, but now? It's kind of redegenerating to where it was.

I'm feeling positive for a change. But we'll see how long that lasts.
