As others have mentioned you certainly have a set of cojones to nmake this post.
I will say early in my flying career I made a similar mistake with a better outcome but the possible outcome was scary nontheless. i followed the exact same chain of decision making you did and afterwords thought "how stupid of me". Why does this happen so frequently in aviation when it is so easily avoidable. Then I did it again 25 years later. Simple fact is we are human and we make mistakes. If we are lucky we do not become statistics.
Great post and thanks. Just reading it will probably prevent at least one person on this forum from doing the same thing in the near future.
