Yesterday, Nook Inc. sent me a reward (a protein shake) for forcing encouraging residents to participate in group stretching. 😛

Nook’s Cranny was buying turnips for 188 bells apiece, so I sold the remainder of my turnips at that price.

I gave Admiral some head bandages as a gift, and to my surprise, he put them on right away. So if anyone saw me go inside his house, and then saw him come out with bandages on his head, they might think I just beat him up! 😂

Wisp was in town, and I gathered up his spirits for him. He rewarded me with an outdoor kitchen.

Today is Admiral’s birthday, and I attended his party (Louie was also there). I gave Admiral a gold rose wreath that I crafted for his door, and he seemed to like it.

Happy birthday, Admiral! Well now I feel bad for beating him up yesterday. 😂

Tonight, I went out to Lottie’s island to work a shift. Lottie told me that she ordered a workbench for Paradise Planning. Once it arrives, it will be placed upstairs (where the lockers are), and she said I’ll be able to use it for my own projects at any time.

I went out to the beach to look for customers, and Papi wanted a vacation house with lots of wooden furniture.

I chose a location with a forest of cedar trees. In the yard, I gave him a swinging bench, a sleigh, a destinations signpost, and a chainsaw…so that he can cut down more trees if he needs to. 😛

Indoors, I gave him a wooden bookshelf, simple vanity, and a wooden double bed…in addition to the items he suggested. I also gave him a few snacks to enjoy as he reads.

With the job done, I returned to Paradise Planning. Lottie gave me a new title of “Promising Designer,” and she gave me a raise! I got 9,000 Poki for this job. Not bad!

See you all next time!

On Sunday morning, I bought some turnips from Daisy Mae. She was charging 109 bells each, and I bought 1,600 of them (for a total of 174,400 bells). Later that night, Wisp was in town. I recovered his five spirits and he rewarded me with a garden table.

Yesterday (Monday), Daisy Mae sent me a recipe for some turnip salad in the mail.

Eloise taught me an interesting new recipe: She told me how to make a pile of cash! 😀

Unfortunately, it costs 297,000 bells to make it! 😮 So “making” cash isn’t as easy as she made it sound.

I’ve been spending some time working on my town (mostly my castle, but I’ve made a few other small changes elsewhere too). Static noticed a (56,000 bell) castle wall in my pockets, and he wanted to give me a shirt for it. A shirt! No way, Jose!

Out on Harv’s Island, Jolly Redd had an amazing painting that looked real. I still needed it for the museum, so I bought it.

Today (Tuesday), Louie sent me a famous painting in the mail! It was real, but I didn’t need it for the museum. However, I also received the amazing painting I ordered from Redd. I donated it to the museum, and it is huge!

It appears that I only need seven more works of art to complete the museum! 🙂

Nook’s Cranny was paying 122 bells for turnips today. That’s obviously not an amazing price, but it is more than I paid for them. And after losing a bunch of bells on turnips last time, I decided to sell most (1,300 of my 1,600) turnips today at that price.

After doing some stretching at the plaza, I earned 2,000 Nook Miles for stretching on 30 different days. That’s not the final goal, there’s another one when I reach 50. But still, this one kicked my balance up to 1.5 million miles.

Label was in town again today (just four days after her last appearance!). This time, she wanted to see me in a fairy tale outfit. The outfit she gave as an example was a bit odd, though: A school uniform with necktie? How is that a fairy tale thing?

But she also mentioned some other examples, such as knights and princesses. So I crafted a knight’s helmet, iron armor, and armor shoes. She loved the outfit, and she rewarded me with a Labelle knit shirt.

See you all next time. Have an amazing knight!

Label was in town yesterday, and I decided to speak with her…since I’ve been ignoring her the last three or four times she has visited. 😛 She wanted to see me in a theatrical outfit, and that’s a pretty easy one for me. I remembered that I can simply wear my pirate outfit to pass the fashion check, so I headed home to change.

Immediately after changing into my pirate suit, a visitor came over (of course). It was Bones; he wanted to chat and play a card game and…taste me?

He then corrected himself to say he wanted to eat my D.I.Y. workbench. Ah, I see. That’s much more logical. 🙄

After he eventually left, I went back over to Label. She loved my pirate look, and she gave me some Labelle shorts.

My nice painting from Jolly Redd arrived in the mail, and I took it up to the museum. It is the real deal! Nice! 😉

Sasha seemed to be wearing a disguise today! I barely recognized him. 😛

I visited Admiral today, and he was standing in front of his fan…even though it’s the middle of winter! But yeah, this is what the inside of his house looks like.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed K.K. Samba for me and Agent S. That was not a new song, so I’ve apparently acquired all of his new songs now.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
