After having near-daily snow for a while, things seem to have settled down in the precipitation department. No snow this week. Anyway, this entry covers three days of gameplay, so I’ll list each day separately.
Sunday
Benedict was finally over his cold, and he gave me an exquisite rug to thank me for the 900 doses of medicine I delivered to him. 😛
Sunday was another point special at Nookington’s: Qualifying purchases gave me five times the normal amount of points! So I again bought all the furniture, wallpaper, and carpeting that Tom Nook had. Doing that took me from 6,059 points up to 7,279. I later ordered three dollies, which took me up to 8,239 points. I love bonus point days!
I made my rounds, watered flowers, and talked Goldie out of moving. I planted a few trees, and then went into town hall. At long last, I had the news I wanted to hear: Forest was now perfect!
All I have to do now is maintain my town for 15 days to get the golden watering can. That means I need to play every day for the next two weeks.
Monday
I knew my town was still perfect, because I spotted my first Jacob’s ladder!
In addition, only one of Sunday’s trees died. So hopefully this means I won’t have to make any further changes to the trees since it was still perfect without planting any additional trees today.
Tuesday
Blathers was talking about taking his sister Celeste camping. His fear of bugs is so severe that one time, he saw a butterfly and needed therapy for a week.
He felt bad for all the bad times he put Celeste through, due to his irrational fear of insects.
Today is New Year’s Eve, and Tortimer was outside of town hall for the occasion. He told me that he was feeling punchy from counting all day.
Of course, there is also a countdown timer nearby. At that moment, there were two hours and 47 minutes to go until the new year begins.
Note: I don’t plan on attending the countdown.
As part of the festivities, there are festive lights on many cedar trees. It’s always kind of weird seeing them at New Year’s, when they weren’t up during Christmastime.
Many of my villagers were also talking about the New Year’s Eve countdown. Big Top told me his new year’s resolution was to “always not look fat.”
My town status is still perfect, so it appears this won’t be hard to maintain. I’ll still keep playing every day to water flowers and pull weeds, though. I don’t want to take any chances.
Have a happy new year, everyone! 🕛🎆
