I don't believe I can honestly recall any other time I've felt such a sheer gamut of emotions during such a short time.
Prior to starting there was doubt, anxiety, and second-guessing over whether now was the time to go for it, whether I had prepped enough, whether I had enough goods on hand, then came that giddy, reckless, oh-what-the-heck feeling as soon as I tapped the first order.
Hope and optimism was up when the first board went off without a hitch before the depths of despair hit when the first two orders on the second board asked for the 1 thing I didn't have 20 of, but I was right back to being thankful for great neighbors who keep a grocery store rather than a RSS, then back to begging the HD gods to let me catch ANY fish quick.
Breathless, heart palpitations, stomach fluttering, sweaty palms... it felt like I was about to skydive rather than playing a farming game.
Then with the 3rd board mid way done, when the end was in sight with time to spare, satisfaction crept in along with a sense of fulfillment and glory of knowing I was about to join the elite ranks of TT 3 achievers, then before I knew it I had filled all 30 trucks, but had so much left, I kept going, and going, and going (just like another popular ad!) until I did 75 trucks (a personal best), filled my boat asking for popcorn, soup, and chocolate cake, made $70k, 50k XP and freed up some 250 spaces in my barn which I promptly refilled with all the stuff I still had piled by my machines!! Needless to say that last liberated from clutter feeling was fleeting yet delicious while it lasted, but oh, well, I'm a hoarder at heart!
Far better than any roller coaster (minus the wind in your face:cool:)....up, down, twists and turns, breakneck speed, leaves your legs all trembly when you step off...WOW, what a thrilling ride, but, oh, so glad it's behind me and doubly glad I don't have to get back on it!!:D
