My Lucky Socks

Soon after starting up New Leaf today, I got some good news. Gabi is moving out on June 1st!

Gabi: Right now it's looking like I'll go on the 1st of next month. Don't get me wrong. I love this place.It’s interesting that she’s announced her move before I even got a replacement for Harry.

Anyway, I’m not a good artist at all…but I decided to draw a simple picture for my face-cutout standee. Look, I’m STEVE HOLT!

My horrible stick figure design for my face-cutout standee.And then I spotted a fenced-off area. Benedict the rooster will be moving in tomorrow. Although, he’s going to be living right next door to Yuka. Good luck to him.

Sign: This spot reserved for Benedict's new home. -Nook's HomesI found the money rock and got eight hits in…but I didn’t get the usual 16,100 bells. I got 32,000 bells! Wow! I didn’t understand why I was so lucky, until I noticed Katrina’s tent and went inside. She said the key to unlocking good fortune was…

Katrina, telling me my lucky item: Socks...Socks. I was already wearing socks, so that explains why I already had the good fortune.

Katrina: Since you are already wearing a lucky item now, I think you will be fine for today...Then I headed up to Main Street. I gave Shrunk three peaches and he taught me the “outrage” emotion! That is yet another rare emotion that I’ve been trying to get in City Folk for years.

Shrunk: My old teacher's Outrage Joke is the thing to CURE what ails you!And that’s no hogwash.

Shrunk: "Hogwash, madam!"With the bells I got from the money rock earlier, I easily had enough money to finish off paying my current home loan. I’ll be getting an upstairs built tomorrow!

Tom Nook: The work will be fully completed by tomorrow morning. I'm so sure you must be very excited, yes, yes!After I was done on Main Street, I returned to Forest. I went in Yuka’s house and I think I walked in on something…

Katt glares at me while in Yuka's house.An ugly convention perhaps. I didn’t hang around too long, and I soon made a trip to the island. I have now earned enough medals to buy a wet suit! Unfortunately, they didn’t have one on sale today. But I did a little fishing, and I caught a blue marlin. It’ll be going in the museum.

I caught a blue marlin! What a true darlin'!One of the fish I caught was a sea bass. I didn’t want to waste a slot in the basket on a sea bass, so I sold it to Leila for 10 bells.

Leila: YAY! Thanks, fwiend! T'at was fun! Let's pway supermarket again sometime!I made a stop at Re-Tail to sell some of my catches, and another stop at the museum to donate the blue marlin. And then I ended my day in Forest. I’ll be back tomorrow with another update, so I hope to see you then!

Happy Memorial Day for those of you in the U.S.!
