Mott told me that he wanted to move out of town, and I didn’t try to stop him. He didn’t know what day he’d be moving, but it’ll be soon.

I overhead a conversation between Static and Chow this evening. Chow was talking about how much he loved coffee cake, and he said he just had some at a restaurant with his niece. Static apparently saw them at the time, but he didn’t know the girl was his niece. He figured Chow must have been blackmailing the girl to have lunch with him! Ha!

I visited Benedict, and he told me that he recently had a cold, but that he didn’t take any medicine for it. Uh, what? I definitely gave him medicine last time. But he didn’t seem to remember that at all, so he didn’t thank me or give me a gift. Maybe he needed more than one dose, I suppose. But still, there have been times I’ve given animals medicine just once and they still thanked me for it. Hmm.

One of my villagers gave me a hint that the skies would be colorful later on tonight. And sure enough, after 11 p.m., I spotted an aurora up in the sky–along with a nearly full moon.

Since Benedict was there, I had a chat with him. He seemed to know this was the last time we’d be seeing the northern lights for a while.

The snow will be all gone by tomorrow morning. Bring on spring! I’ll be back with another entry later this week, so I’ll see you then!

I visited Aurora today, and she warned me about Crazy Redd…and cheese.

She didn’t say why exactly, but let’s just that the gas pump in her house was not the real source of the gas leak I was smelling in there. Whoooh!

Benedict was apparently sick today. But I actually think he might’ve been faking it, just so he doesn’t have to go in to his job at KFC. He may think he’s next on the chopping block and he doesn’t want to be fried fired.

Saharah was in town, looking for old carpets. But the first few villagers I asked for carpet all said they didn’t have any.

I bought some medicine for Benedict and took it to him. He gulped it down and flipped for it.

Aurora had an old carpet for me, but no one else was cooperating. Initially, I wasn’t able to ask Chow because he was locked out of his house. So I decided to fish for his key, and fortunately I found it on my very first try. I took it to him and asked about old carpets, but he didn’t have any for me.

There was still one villager I hadn’t seen though, despite at least five trips around town: Static. He wasn’t sleeping, he wasn’t home, and he wasn’t outdoors (and five other villagers were already outdoors). But then I remembered there is one other place a villager can be: The Roost. And that’s where I found him. I’m not sure if he was on a date with Phyllis, but both of them were sitting next to each other. I ordered a cup of coffee and joined them for a minute.

As for the one old carpet I got from Aurora, I put it into storage for next time.

Today is Valentine’s Day, and I got a valentine in the mail from…Twiggy? I wasn’t expecting her to be my valentine, but she did send me a chocolate heart, so I won’t complain too much.

I took the bus out to the city, and it was snowing there. But it felt more like Halloween than Valentine’s Day when I saw Tabby! She seemed smitten by the clerk in Gracie Grace.

When I returned to Forest, I found a new house in town: Marina the octopus just moved into town! And her lovely carpet has hearts on it–quite appropriate considering her moving-in date!

Brewster does something special for Valentine’s Day: Instead of coffee, he serves hot chocolate today. What a sweet treat!

Alli asked me to find her a centipede today. So I went around banging rocks until I found one; it didn’t take me long. I returned the long bug to her, and she was thrilled with it (for some reason). She rewarded me by giving me 552 bells.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
