In today’s mail, I got a goodbye letter from Gabi (who moved out this morning), and also this letter from “Momz.” She attached a blue tie-dye shirt, which I put on.
Just outside my house, I spotted two rocks next to each other. Each day, there will be a a rock that isn’t normally there. I like to think of it as a fake rock. When you hit it with your shovel, the rock shatters to reveal a gem. This one contained an amethyst, which is worth 2,000 bells.
I saw my next-door neighbor Big Top, who reminded me that Aurora is sick.
So I headed up to Main Street so that I could buy her some medicine. While there, I saw the new supermarket, Super T&T.
Timmy informed me that this store has a place for items that can be hung on walls. Nice! Today’s wall item was an astro clock. A digital clock for your house that hangs on your wall? Pretty cool!
As for the other shop in progress, it was still under construction for a second day. So I headed back to town and gave Aurora her medicine.
After going outside, I spotted an animal I wasn’t expecting. It was Phineas! I didn’t even recognize him without his balloons. In New Leaf, he apparently hands out badges that mark certain achievements. He gave me the Fish Maniac badge, which shows that I’ve caught many types of fish. I’m not sure if there’s any real point to it or not, but I’ll take it.
In the river, I spotted a bug that kept going underwater. It was a tricky little bugger, but after a few minutes of trying, I finally caught it. It’s a diving beetle.
When I was over by the town tree, Katt asked to come over to my house right away.
I reluctantly agreed, so I led the way home. Once inside, she would comment on some items (namely my metal guitar), but never asked to buy anything. After a few minutes, I was tired of her creeping around my house, so I went out the door to end her visit.
Back outside, I ran into Fuchsia. She asked if I should get some sleep soon. It was only 5:00 pm! This isn’t the first time she has acted like it was later than it really was. Sorry, girlfriend, this is a Night Owl town now. Get used to it.
After collecting my fossils for the day, I headed back up to Main Street. All of my fossils were ones the museum already had. That’s fine, because it means more bells for me. I went into Club LOL and gave Shrunk three peaches, and he taught me the curiosity (question mark) emotion. That’s one of my favorites, so it’s good to have.
When I went into Re-Tail, Yuka was in there, looking at the mango I had put up for sale. She asked me if the price was fair. I’m the one selling it, so what do you think I’m going to say?
Next stop? The island! I took the boat over, and the shop there finally had the black wet suit I wanted! Sweet!
But I also did some fishing while I was there. I caught my first Napoleonfish!
When I was done, I returned to town and put my wet suit on. Time to swim! In the northeast part of town, I have a small, private beach! You can only get to it by swimming in the ocean, and only people with wet suits can swim.
I swam the whole length of the ocean. I even snuck up on Kapp’n!
When I was done playing in the water, I sold the rest of my fish. And I had enough to pay off the museum renovation! It will be done tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping by, and please check back tomorrow for another update!
