Now I need a Reflex Bow, it tells me to go to the junkyard, but there's no bow in the list of stuff I can get in there.  I've played it twice, now I'm out of energy.  What's up?

That's what I'm worried about.  I finally started getting some quests after I updated the ledger, everything I had before was to decorate.  All the new quests I got had the item in the list of what was in the HO, a couple stamps, a teapot, but now this one isn't listed in the HO.  Guess I'll have to keep trying once I get more energy.

Pretty much any upgrade opens up something else. Most of my buildings are upgraded but some of my mini games are still locked because I have to get pro on everything. Of course the one and only quest I have right now needs something from a mini game that will not be unlocked any time soon. The daily quests really don't give much so not sure what they are for. 

Wendy, don't forget your keepsakes in your inventory. I tend to use them when I have a full level of energy but they are a good way to build up money quicker. Also the mini games on the island with the paint, film , hammer and such tend to give more money as well. 

I needed to upgrade a couple buildings to be able to play the mini games that the teapots are in, but I had plenty of resources and money, so I'm building the antique store, the porcelain shop, and the toy store all at the same time.  Yeah!!!  Tomorrow will be a much funner day

The place way to the left on the map is Din-something, that's where the toy store is, and the paint place and I think the thread.  The mini games there pay a lot more money, like twice or more of the other places.  I don't remember where the hammers are, but you can scroll through each HO and it wil show them.  Probably a middle HO.  You only get a few things from the HO until you upgrade your ledger to silver, then you get lots, so start saving 5,000 for that.  I ignored that request for a long time, didn't realize what it would do, and it really held me back from a lot of stuff.
