Yesterday, I received Camofrog’s goodbye letter in the mail. So long, Camofrog!

Rosie had the brilliant idea to teach a bitterling to play baseball. She said it would make us rich! 🤑

She was really asking me to catch a bitterling for her, and I agreed to help. Fortunately, it didn’t take me long to find one. When I took it back to her, she was thrilled and she kept going on about how grateful she was!

However, there was no longer any talk about teaching it baseball and getting rich! Maybe she’s going to teach in baseball in private and not include me. 😛

Biskit was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and again today. Get well soon, doggo!

Today is Valentine’s Day, and Rosie sent me a valentine in the mail! I was a bit surprised to see that she is my valentine, but I’m not complaining!

She sent me a chocolate heart, which I wanted to eat. But unfortunately, I can’t eat it in this game. 😛 Thank you anyway, Rosie!

Chip hosted a fishing tournament today, with prizes going to the biggest fish (no specific theme this time). I caught a dab and took it back to Chip. But it only measured 20.3 inches, while Willow had already caught a 77-inch tuna. Yikes!

I knew not to even bother fishing any more, because I knew I didn’t have a chance. 😛 Congrats on the win, Willow. (Even though the tourney hadn’t ended yet, nobody’s going to catch her.)

And before I wrapped up my day in Forest, I had to stop in get a Valentine’s Day treat from Brewster…some hot chocolate!

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! 💘

As a reminder, Festivale is coming up on Monday! I have Festivale guides for City Folk, New Leaf, and New Horizons if you need a refresher!

Yesterday, Willow was out in the snow with her net. She said she catches bugs for the enjoyment of it, although she doesn’t touch the bugs directly. Only with her net.

When I played today, I found Camofrog all packed up and ready to move out of town. This was not a surprise, because we talked about it last week. So long, Camofrog!

I ran into Biskit near the top of the waterfall (where I used to hold sumo matches years ago). He told me to snap a photo of him, so I did!

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed “My Place” for me. Good song!

A few minutes later, Rosie asked me to deliver a gift to Willow. I agreed to help out, but Willow absolutely hated the gift (a burglar’s shirt). To be fair, I can’t blame her since it implies that she’s a burglar. Sorry, Willow. I know ewe are not a crook.

I then returned to Rosie and told her the bad news. She was clearly upset at Willow’s reaction, even if she tried to play it cool.

Still, Rosie rewarded me with some kitchen tile for making the delivery.

I headed over to the Roost tonight to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Aria” for me. At least it wasn’t “Cafe K.K.” again, like it was the last two weeks!

I was walking down the very western edge of my town (I normally walk on the path alongside the river instead), and I apparently haven’t done that in months. That’s because I found a mushroom on the ground there! It’s normally hidden by the cherry trees there.

So it’s been there since November! It was just a regular skinny mushroom though, so it wasn’t a piece of mush furniture or anything rare. But it’s kind of funny that it’s been sitting there for at least two months without being noticed! Oops!

Big Top asked me to catch a bagworm for him, so I went around shaking trees. I never found a bagworm, but I did find several bees…and they all stung me. Of course, my villagers were quick to point out my swollen face.

Moments later, Camofrog pinged me. He was thinking about moving out of town.

Even though he hasn’t been in town very long, I decided to let him go. He’s not one of my favorites, so I’d rather it was him that left instead of one of the villagers I like a lot. He’s not leaving just yet though, so I’ll probably see him next week still.

I took the bus out to the city and I paid Katrina 100 bells to tell my fortune. She said that she saw two little stars that grew brighter and brighter, and they shined down on me with a soothing, gentle light.

She said they revealed a gentleness and universal appeal that will garner me support, particularly among those who share my gender. I was curious to see what would happen, so I returned to Forest. Regular conversations didn’t seem any different. But when a male villager would ping me, they would tell me how cool they think I am. 😛

Biskit was the first one to do it, but later Big Top shared a similar sentiment.

It was pretty cool to see this, because I rarely go to Katrina. And even when I do, her fortunes seem to be neutral more often than not, so they don’t usually have any interesting effects. But it’s nice to be cool, at least for one night. 😛

See you next week! Never Stop Crossing!
