Meeting Joan

On Sunday morning, Daisy Mae was selling turnips for 110 bells apiece. After losing a bunch of money on turnips the past two weeks, I was determined to turn things around. So I bought about twice as many as usual: 3,400 turnips.

Gwen the penguin was at the campsite. I don’t particularly like her, and I’m already trying to get rid of her in City Folk. 😂 So clearly, I did not choose the camper in front of me. 😛

I found a lost item, a bag, on the ground. When I investigated it, it said it was a stylish bag that was more about style than function. That made me think of a peppy villager like Agent S or Ketchup. So imagine my surprise when Agent S said it belonged to Beardo!

Later, Static asked me to play a treasure hunt game. But he only gave me three minutes to find the buried item, and I didn’t find it in time. Once I did track it down and return it, Static was a bit rude about it.

On Monday, I took the advice of an anonymous commenter, and I went to the hospital. I was surprised to see Joan there, for her usual Monday checkup. 😂 She gave me 100 turnips for free!

But I learned something else new while I was there. Skye (the receptionist) informed me that I can get an examination from the doctor! Also, they’re accepting donations to expand the hospital and build a patient ward! The cost is 120,000 Poki, so I’m going to need to design several more homes before I can pay that off.

When it was time for my exam, Dr. Octavian told me that I needed a mummy outfit to cure the stinging pain in my knee. 😂

I don’t know what I expected. This place is called Quack Doctors, after all. 😉

Back in town, Beardo asked me to visit his house. I declined, and he said it was okay because he was just going to go home and stare at himself in the mirror.

I guess that’s one way to overcome a fear of monsters.

Today, Static was sick with a cold. I grabbed some medicine out of storage and took it back to him; he rewarded me with a spinning wheel.

Flick was in town, so I went in my house to get some bugs out of storage. As I did, Beardo barged in. I didn’t even speak to him. I just got my bugs and left the house. 😛

The Nooklings were paying 131 bells for turnips today. That’s the first increase I’ve seen in a long time. But after digging myself into such a hole, I wasn’t about to sell all my turnips for only 21 bells of profit apiece. I’m hoping for a larger jump tomorrow.

In other news, I finished up my obstacle course today! I plan on hosting a few races on an afternoon this week (probably Thursday or Friday between 4-6 p.m. EDT). When I’m ready, I’ll post on Twitter asking for people, and I plan on doing several runs with different groups of people. I also uploaded a new pattern today (hint hint).

See you all next time!
