Maggie, *millions of hugs* may you have the happiest and brightest days forever!

My last event was a disaster averted in the very last second, and so I'm still kind of recovering from it, and seeing you celebrate my milestone with a name change made my day so, so much! You're beyond generous and kind!

I shall tell you of my misadventure. Imagine this... It's Thursday after work, and I suddenly realise that I have 6 days to reach my goal (moving avatars, so 50% Virtuoso). "Agh, aghhhh, aghhhhhhhhhhhhh," I think to myself as I look at my meager pass inventory. I'm at 88% Detective, so the situation is not an irreversible misery, but the prospects are very far from being optimistic considering the time frame.

"I have 6 days to reach 50% Virtuoso, so I need exactly 3300 more event passes, which means I need to produce 550 event passes daily", I convince myself that this is doable. (Spoiler: it is not.) Feeling moderately positive, I set out to harvest the electronic crops. When it's 12 o'clock, I have about 300 passes and call it a day, because 1) I'm a Cinderella and 2) I need beauty sleep for Friday. I should have earned 220 passes more, but I convinced myself I could get those during the weekend.

This pattern repeated itself on Friday (400 passes), Saturday was better (700 passes), Sunday was really good (1300 passes), Monday was okay (300 passes).

The worst day was Tuesday. In the evening I drowned in tea to keep myself focused and semi-awake. I didn't feel my hand or my legs or the unmentionable part. At the beginning of this I happily rolled here and there, but by then I was a starved pirate, eyes red, ready to plunder the most vile of places just to get my passes.

At 10 o'clock I reached my pass goal, then I binge-visited City Bridge till midnight, when the magic spell wore off and I turned into a pumpkin again. I was at 29% Virtuoso. I decided to finish this journey in the morning. Before work I carefully crawled up to 50% Virtuoso and it was the most amazing feeling ever!

All that resulted in me being a deflatted balloon this week... I do plan on getting to 50% Virtuoso during this event as well, but hopefully the road is less bumpy this time.

Anyway, thank you again, Maggie! The adventure is a lot more fun with you!
