Month: July 2021

I was very surprised and disappointed when I checked the mail today. Margie sent me a goodbye letter! She moved out without notice! 🙁

Margie has been one of my favorites since she moved in over three years ago. Our last conversation was on Monday. She asked if I still had the photo she gave me, and I said “of course!” Her last words to me were “It’s like I gave you a little piece of my heart, and you kept it safe and warm!” 😢

It’s odd that I get more random move-outs when I’m playing more frequently. When you only play once a week (especially if it’s on the same day), you may find someone in boxes. But you can always talk to them and change their mind. I went a very long time without losing someone randomly. But when you’re playing more frequently, even skipping one day can cost you a favorite villager.

Anyway, I ran into Samson and he accused me of gaining weight, blowing off his training regimen, and lying about it.

So I pitfall’d the rude rat.

Olivia told me that she could totally relax if she had a room full of white furniture. But she already has a room full of white furniture!

Goldie was still sick, so I gave her some more medicine.

I shot down a balloon present and got a retro TV from it. But overall, it was a disappointing day in Forest. Margie left, no Saharah, no UFO, no spotlight product, and it seemed like everyone was in a bad mood.

Maybe tomorrow will be better. I hope so.

Samson just moved into town yesterday, and today, he’s celebrating a birthday! I stopped over at Nookington’s to look for a birthday gift, and I found just the thing! 😉

I then headed over to Samson’s house to enjoy the party. Hopefully Samson can find the strength to install his new barber’s pole. ✂️✂️

He gave me a lady palm in return. Peanut the squirrel–not Samson’s supposed girlfriend Olivia–was the other villager at the party.

Have Samson and Olivia already broken up? Well, their relationship was a game of cat and mouse, after all. 😛 Or more likely, Rolf was wrong about them being together in the first place. You have to take everything he says with a grain of salt.

And speaking of Rolf, he was bad-mouthing the pelican sisters over by town hall tonight. He said that Phyllis is a pain in the neck, and Pelly might be even worse…even though Pelly looks nicer.

And then he said they were both nuts. 😮

Once I went inside, Pelly had some more dialogue for me. Now that she knows Pete doesn’t drink coffee, she said she doesn’t enjoy going to the Roost much any more. But Brewster did try to cheer her up…by telling her that a good cup of coffee can change a man’s heart. Pelly thought it just sounded like a commercial for the Roost. 😛

Margie must have given her cold to poor Goldie, because Goldie is sick as a dog now. Fortunately, I was there to give her some medicine. I guess I’ll have to keep buying more every day, because these colds last forever in Wild World.

There were no special visitors in town today, and I played too late to have a chance at a balloon present. Tomorrow is Redd’s day, so I’ll probably skip playing, but I’ll be back with (at least) one more entry later in the week.

See you next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

On Friday, I received Antonio’s goodbye letter in the mail. He seems to think we’ll still be friendly rivals. Good luck with that.

I gave Margie more medicine on Thursday, and by Friday, she was finally over her cold. About time! She thanked me for all the medicine, and she rewarded me with a claw-foot tub.

At town hall, Pelly told me about her plan: She would ask Pete if he liked coffee, and then when he said yes, she would ask him to join her. But Pete surprised her by saying that he liked hot chocolate better than coffee, so Pelly abandoned her plan. Pelly told me Pete was being “unsweet,” but that’s not really fair to Pete. She never even asked him to join her!

Early this morning, I bought another pack of red turnip seeds from Joan. Of course, I still have a red turnip from last week waiting for Wendell. It can’t hurt to have spares though, because this trading process is going to take multiple attempts to get everything I want.

Later on tonight, it was raining in town. Rolf spoke poetically about the rain, and then he called me a jerk for no reason. He acted as if I insulted his poem, but I didn’t say a word!

Then he asked me if heard about Samson and Olivia’s relationship. Wait, what?!

I hadn’t even heard about Samson! So I checked the map and headed over to his house to meet my new villager.

These villagers really seem to come and go quickly in Wild World, if you let them. It feels like a revolving door lately. As for Samson specifically, I guess he’s okay. I’m not a big fan of the mice in general, but I’ll try to give him a chance.

Saharah never showed up last week, so I’m hoping she comes one day this week. Not only do I need to give her the turban, but I also still need the carpet and wallpaper to go with my space room.

Completing my space room is a goal of mine that I had forgotten about. However, it could be a goal that takes years. In fact, I’m still waiting to get the lunar surface in City Folk, going on 12.5 years already!
