C.J. was in town today, and he had a freestyle seasports challenge for me. I caught a loach, a red snapper, a dace, a barred knifejaw, and an olive flounder to complete the challenge. I grabbed some fish out of storage, and I sold him over 220,000 bells worth. 💰💰

Beardo was inside his house, sleeping standing up…while successfully holding a cup of coffee. I woke him up, and he told me his ability to nap (and wake up instantly) is his secret to success.

Out on Harv’s Island, Redd had yet another fake ancient statue. I bought it, because I’m going to use it in my obstacle course. And speaking of the obstacle course, I’ve been working on it a lot lately. In fact, I’d estimate it’s about 90% done. So it’s getting close!

I’ve finally uploaded a few of my favorite Happy Home Paradise designs if you’d like to check them out. My Happy Home Network ID is RA-2621-3459-0928.

See you all next time!

On Sunday morning, I bought some turnips from Daisy Mae. She was selling them for 108 bells apiece, and I bought 1,700 of them.

Rover sent me his briefcase in the mail for completing the May Day maze. But that’s the same reward he gave me the first time I completed it 2020.

Bones was talking about things that are fun to ride, and he seems to prefer boat rides. He particularly likes the sea shamblies shanties you can sing. 😛

He also likes screaming “Look out! There’s pirates!” …And that’s why he’s not allowed to ride on boats any more. 😂 I’ve seen lazy villagers’ dialogue about why they’re not allowed on planes, but I didn’t realize there was a similar story about boats.

On Sunday night, Wisp gave me a stack of clothes for recovering his spirits.

On Harv’s Island, I bought a graceful painting from Jolly Redd. The woman in the painting was facing the opposite direction as the fake one I previously bought…so I was sure that this one was real. But as it turns out, this one was fake too! Some works of art have more than one fake version, so this threw me for a not-so-graceful loop.

Yesterday, I went to work a shift at Paradise Planning. Lottie told me it was time to make another facility: a hospital!

I started off by designing the waiting room. I added plenty of seating, a magazine rack, a water cooler, and a small play area for any sick kids that find themselves here.

Next up, I had to design an examination room. I put in an exam table, medicine chest, sink, EKG machine, stadiometer, lab chair, and other appropriate furniture. Here’s the final result:

I was able to choose the staff, and I chose Octavian to be the doctor. That’s mainly because he looks a bit like Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama. 😛 Skye is my receptionist.

Lottie told me to choose a name for the hospital, and I decided to call it Quack Doctors.

Today, Saharah was in town. I bought some mysterious wallpaper and flooring from her. They turned out to be a kisses wall and field flooring.

I went out to Lottie’s island to shop (not to work). I’ve been using Wardell’s catalog to order some safety railings that I needed. Another good thing about his catalog is that his five-item-per-day limit is separate from Nook’s limit. So you can order a total of ten items per day if you use both catalogs. 👍

I saw Cephalobot out on the beach there, and he said he was going to do something worth blogging about. Just don’t go swimming unless you wear some rust-screen! 😉

See you all next time!

Yesterday, I found Ketchup wearing my “Where’s Waldo?” hat. She looks so cute in it! And she called me her bestie. 😊

Flick was in town yesterday, and I grabbed some bugs out of storage for him. He paid me 94k for the twelve bugs (mostly tarantulas and peacock butterflies).

Today, the Nooklings were only paying 45 bells per turnip, so I had to sell at a big loss again. The prices never went up a single time all week! Every day, the price was lower than the last! I’ve had such bad luck with turnips lately.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed K.K. Aria. He had a decent crowd tonight: It was me, Sasha, Bones, Static, and Marina. We all enjoyed the show.

The new May Day Maze is available now through May 7th, so I flew out there tonight.

After doing May Day mazes the last two years, I knew what to expect. I navigated my way through the maze, smashing rocks, hopping over holes, picking up materials, crafting an axe to cut down trees, and so on. I didn’t have too much trouble with it, and I found all nine bell vouchers. I found Rover at the end, and he mentioned that he normally travels by train (a reference to the GameCube game and also New Leaf).

He said he’ll be sending me a note in the mail.

If you played New Leaf, you probably know that you could view your town history by sitting at your town tree. The feature isn’t in New Horizons, but I posted a video today showing what it might look like. So if you’d like to see a look back at my island history, take a look:

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
