Yesterday, Gullivarrr sent me my latest reward, and it was another pirate bandanna. That’s my 5th pirate bandanna overall, and my 3rd red one! Meanwhile, he still hasn’t sent a 2nd pirate-ship cannon. 😛

When I was putting some stuff into storage, I got an unexpected message: My storage is full! 😮

Even though it’s disappointing to know I’m out of storage, it’s honestly shocking that it has taken me a year and a half to do it! I need to stop saving every Gulliver/Gullivarrr item I get, for one thing.

And I do have a lot of unnecessary things in storage that I can get rid of, including tons of materials like sticks, stones, and iron nuggets. I started crafting with some of them, which will help me work towards my crafting goals in my Nook Miles app.

I saw that Flick was in town, and that gave me the opportunity to clear out 16 bugs that I had in storage. I sold them for a total of 186k.

Tonight is K.K. Slider night, so I sat down to enjoy the concert. Unfortunately, he played K.K. Etude, which is the same song he played three weeks ago. Hornsby and Marina also joined me for the show. (She’s just hiding behind K.K.’s speech bubble in this screenshot.) 😛

I’ve been neglecting to give Marina a gift every day, but I crafted a nice fountain for her tonight. I’m guessing it may be too large for her to display in her house, but it’s a nice gift regardless, if I do say so myself. 😛 When I gave it to her, she just gave me a flashy hairpin in return. But that’s okay. Our friendship is growing, slowly but surely.

And speaking of fountains, I customized my two near the plaza. They are now black.

Have you all filled up your storage yet? I’m curious to hear how long it took you all. Or maybe some of you still have a long ways to go? Let me know in the comments, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Gullivarrr was in town today, but he did not want to wake up from his nap. I guess I can’t blame him.

I went diving to find his communicator, and I snared it on just my 2nd dive. I returned it to the pirate, and he’ll be sending me a gift in the mail tomorrow.

There was a heavy meteor shower tonight, so I wished on quite a few shooting stars. Over by the dock, I ran into Celeste! She taught me how to make something called a “star head.”

By the way, I’ve been seeing those cumulonimbus clouds a lot lately. I guess I just didn’t notice them much last year, but they’ve been appearing very frequently over the last few weeks.

Apple was talking about amusement parks, and she said she loves thrill rides. But surprisingly, she thinks ferris wheels are terrifying!

Before wrapping up my night, I made myself a star head.

I feel like Maggie Simpson in her winter coat. See you all next time. 😛

On Sunday, I found a lost item on the ground. It was a bag that featured cartoon characters. I returned it to its owner, Agent S. She rewarded me with some fishing waders.

Wisp was in town, and I gathered up his five spirits for him. In return, he gave me some cork flooring.

On Tuesday, Bones told me about a letter he received from his grandma. She said he was still her special boy…which made Bones wonder if he could be replaced. 😛

Today, I posted a new video consisting of tools breaking…set to music. I know we all hate the fact that tools break, but it isn’t about complaining. It’s just a short, lighthearted video that will hopefully make you smile. 🙂

In preparation for that video, I broke about five or six tools yesterday, to get the last few clips I needed. So I found it amusing today when Tia noticed that everything I try to use has been breaking. 😛

And as soon as I left her house, I dug up today’s glowing spot and my shovel broke. Right on cue.

Tybalt was crafting today, and he taught me a DIY recipe for a jungle wall. Surprisingly, I didn’t have that one already! It’s pretty rare to get new recipes at this point.

Apollo was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him.

The instant that he took it, he said he was all better now. He rewarded me with a waistcoat.

It was raining in town, and Marina was out with an umbrella. She said she would someday like to share an umbrella with someone special. But I just liked how her thought bubble was coming out of her mouth. 😛

I delivered an item from Eloise to Apple, and then I met a few Nook Miles+ goals. After that, I wrapped up my game for the night. I’ll be back with another entry soon, though. See you next time!
