Fully Expanded House

Tom Nook has completed the work on my house, adding a back room. The exterior of the house also has a new, larger look.

My newly expanded house.

In the new room, I put up the cityscape wall that Hopper gave me last time. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with this room, though.

My back room, with a cityscape wall but nothing else.

After giving Big Top some more medicine, I went to Nookington’s to speak with Tom Nook. Before he told me how much I owe him for the expansion, he tried to tell me that he’s taking a big loss on this project. Oh, please.

Tom Nook: So, on to the price... Now, I want you to know I'm taking a huge loss on this.He even said he was bleeding money! He then said I owe him 9,480 bells? However, he quickly corrected himself, saying I could afford to pay 948,000 bells. Wow, what a jerk.

Tom Nook: You can afford... 948,000 bells!I wasn’t happy about the price, but at least this will be the last loan I have to pay off. That’s because my house can not be expanded any more.

Tom Nook: And just so we're clear on this, I cannot expand your house any more. Not at all.Crazy Redd was in town, but his lone piece of art this week was a scary painting. I already have that one in the museum, so I held on to my money.

When I ran into Kiki, she told me that she saw Puddles furiously stomping on the beach one day. She said she had never seen anyone do that before…but actually, she witnessed the exact same thing just over a year ago too! So she has seen it before. And maybe Puddles has an annual winter meltdown.

Kiki: I've never seen anyone stomp around a beach so furiously, le meow!

After speaking with everyone in town, I did a little fishing…but I didn’t catch anything good. After selling all my fish, fossils, and fruit, I went up to town hall. I paid 45,000 bells towards my final mortgage.

Roach Brooch

I met up with Baabara out in the snow tonight, and she told me she was looking for a cockroach! But the weirdest part was that she wanted to make a brooch out of it! Gross!

Baabara: I'm looking for a bug called a cockroach, shear me.

Baabara: It has the most amazing shape, shear me. It would make a lovely brooch!
You want a roach brooch?!

Kiki was in her house, with her belongings all packed up! She was about to move out of town! But I made her reconsider.

Kiki: Maybe I should stay after all... le meow.After giving Big Top another dose of medicine, I visited Hopper. He gave me a cityscape wall for free…nice!

Down in the Roost, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Rally for me. I wonder if I’m getting close to collecting all of the K.K. songs in the game.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Rally!After selling apples, fossils, and a few other things, I headed up to town hall. I paid off the remaining 35,000 bells on my mortgage. Yes! I’m debt-free! At least until the next time I play. 😛

Pelly: Oh my goodness! You've paid off your entire loan!I went back to Tom Nook, and he confirmed that he’ll be adding another room to my house by tomorrow. He warned me that it’s going to expensive, though.

Tom Nook: And it's so expensive, your heart may stop when you see the price. Ho ho!
You seem a bit too jolly as you’re telling me I may die.

I got to pick a roof color, and I went with navy this time. I was going to pick black, but it wasn’t one of the options.

Catching My First Tuna

When I visited Curly tonight, he accused me of wanting to snoop around his house. Even worse, he said I wanted to try out all of his leotards!

Curly: You wanna find my unitard stash and try 'em on, don't you, nyoink?!
You have a unitard collection?

Big Top was still sick, so I gave him some medicine again.

Crazy Redd was in town, and he had a warm painting for sale. But I already have that one in the museum, so I didn’t waste my money this time.

Just outside of Redd’s tent, I ran into Baabara. She said passion is what makes people beautiful. Even if their passion is hating Baabara? 😛

Baabara: In my opinion, passion is what makes people beautiful, shear me!

This week’s Message of the Week on the bulletin board was about headphones.

*Message of the Week* Say no to headphones! ...WHO SAID THAT?!Bud asked me to catch a pond smelt for him. But also, I knew I still needed a stringfish and a tuna, so I had three good reasons to go fishing. I fished for 10-15 minutes, and I didn’t come across any stringfish. However, I did catch a pond smelt and my very first tuna! 😀

I caught a tuna! And I'm not talking canned!I took the pond smelt to Bud, and he gave me 510 bells in exchange. I also took the tuna to the museum and donated it.

Blathers: If a tuna stops swimming, it will stop breathing and expire, eh wot?

Of my new apple harvest, I just planted one new apple tree and sold the rest of the apples. I took my cash to town hall and made a 35,000 bell mortgage payment. Only 35,000 more bells to go on this loan!
