... until it sank in how much of an idiot I am.

I've gotten accustomed to doing Haunted Lights for quests, so I figured I would try to get the first couple of Butterfly prizes this time around. Then once I got those I figured I may as well try for the final chest - it was just a question of how much time I had. Well, I just got it - and I really should have looked it up in the store to see what I was aiming for, because it certainly wasn't worth the cost in tools - and rubies - and more tools - and more rubies. Let's just say my cell carrier (I think most of them do) limit online purchases to $100 per calendar month. And apparently I'm done making purchases for this month.

I thought that insetead of waiting for tomorrow to finish, I just plowed ahead against my better judgement and easily-broken personal rules about bailing from a  puzzle if I don't finish it before time runs out. I was seeing red and used up all my tools and reserve tools, all for a chest of 5 each of the most easily-found (or crafted) fixers. I just saw a chest and figured it must have at least SOMETHING useful inside. Lesson learned. I'll avoid these puzzle-only mini events from now on and stick to the main event and the mini events that hit all the rooms, like Lost Symphony.

What a goober I am.
