All I wanted to do was just save a little money while not having to wait half a year before my BP could move out of his already cramped quarters and having to make up a second temporary enclosure in the meantime. I simply didn't have the funds to comfortably drop close to if not half a grand on something I wasn't sure I'd see within any reasonable stretch of time. Yet all I ended up doing was just waste MORE money anyway because of course that's how it always works so now I have to wait even LONGER to get an actual proper setup than if I just bit the freaking bullet months ago because now there's for sure no way I can afford anything of the sort.
I get it wasn't as expensive a mistake as many expensive mistakes tend to be, but when you're in financial straights like I am it might as well be like buying a lemon car.
I take mistakes and failures hard, and this was easily the most egregious personal case in a long time that I'm going to be very bitter about for weeks...
