On Thursday, I received Goldie’s goodbye letter in the mail. It’s sad to lose her again, but at least I had some bonus time with her after she left the first time.

I made around 150,000 bells bug-hunting Thursday night. But I was helped out a bit by Harry, who gave me 9,344 bells for a goliath beetle (over 50% higher than the 6k that Nook pays).

Today, Roscoe became the latest villager to comment on my racing helmet. Like Tom before him, he used the ridiculous expression “Sweet monkey of mercy!” 😆

But unfortunately, that wasn’t the only time a monkey would cross my mind today. Just a few moments later, I walked into a new house and met Goldie’s replacement: Nana the monkey.

I don’t particularly like monkeys not named Champ, but I guess it could be worse. At least Nana isn’t as ugly as most monkeys in the game.

A couple of my villagers pointed out that the last fireworks festival of the year is tomorrow.

I may try to squeeze in some fireworks (and bug-hunting) tomorrow night if I can. I do try to play during fireworks at least once a year in each Animal Crossing game.

Marcel was sick with a cold. I gave him some medicine, both on Thursday and again tonight.

At the Roost, I told K.K. I was feeling a little sad, and he played K.K. Condor to try to cheer me up. It is a good song.

See you next time!

Last night, Gabi told me she wanted a photo of herself with a nature theme. So she asked me to catch a peacock for her!

But it’s not Festivale, so I couldn’t track down Pavé! 😉 But of course, she meant a peacock butterfly. However, those aren’t out at night, so she was out of luck.

When I went into Goldie’s house, I was very sad to see her all packed up and ready to move out. 🙁

When she returned to Forest in May, it was the nicest surprise to see that she was back in my life. But I guess it was too good to be true, or at least, too good to last. I’ll miss her. Again.

The Bug-Off was held today, but I played too late to participate. Nat informed me that Poncho was the winner, with a 65-point miyama stag.

When I walked up the ramp onto the cliff behind my house, I saw Poncho, Tom, and Gabi all hanging out there. I don’t know, it just seemed odd. It almost looked like Poncho was thinking about jumping off the cliff. 😛

Antonio told me he challenged Roscoe to see who could stay awake longer. But after 96 hours, Antonio fell asleep and lost the challenge.

Queenie told me that she likes to get massages on Saturdays. This time, she was using essences of ice cream and…fried ice cream. 😛

And as of tonight, my savings account balance reached 57.5 million bells…so I’ve already met my summer goal! But with almost two weeks remaining in August, I’m sure I’ll still do some more bug hunts before the season ends. 🙂

Yesterday, Roscoe sent me a letter (and a modern desk) to thank me for the medicine I gave him last week.

Saharah was in town, looking for old carpets. So I started asking around. To my surprise, three villagers had some carpet to give me! Thanks to Poncho, Tom, and Antonio!

I took the three old carpets back to Saharah, and she gave me a tropical floor. I did not need that one.

I did some bug hunting, and Poncho bought a dynastid beetle off me for 2,110 bells. That’s almost double the normal price.

I seemed to be having amazing luck though; perhaps the best luck I’ve had all year so far. I kept seeing rare bugs very frequently, and I ended up making 255k on the night.

Tonight, I played again, and Roscoe asked me to deliver a gift to Antonio. It was a No. 1 shirt, and Antonio was confused by it.

Roscoe rewarded me with a kitschy tile for making the delivery.

Poor Goldie locked herself out of her house tonight. 🙁 I normally ignore these requests, but not when it’s Goldie! I went fishing, and it just took me a couple minutes to find her key.

I took it back to Goldie, and she gave me a kitchen wall. She was then able to get back in her doghouse. 🙂

I didn’t do as much bug-catching tonight, but I did manage to make over 40,000 bells anyway.
