On Tuesday, I got a look at the inside of Midge’s house now that she’s unpacked. It looks nice, although it’s surprisingly yellow.

The interior sure looks a lot different than it did before.

Ankha mentioned that I found a lot of fossils the previous day, and she asked if I took them to Blathers. She said Blathers likes to ramble on about musty old things. Hmm, I wonder what Blathers would say about Ankha? 😉

Rio told me about a prize she got in a box of crackers. She said it was a miniature soccer rule book, which she didn’t want to open because it would lose its value. 😛 And also, because she doesn’t “do” soccer. ⚽

On Wednesday, Static started working at Able Sisters! Or at least, that’s what it looked like. 😉

Label was in town today, and Punchy said he was too shy to say anything to her, because he was afraid he might burp. But that seemingly silly fear wasn’t as unfounded as it sounded…

Speaking of Label, she wanted to see me in a party outfit. She gave me a space parka as an example of what to wear. A space parka? 🤔

But I put it on and added some spangle shorts, a birthday hat, and some birthday shades.

It wasn’t my finest fashion moment, but it did the trick. Label was very happy with the outfit, and she rewarded me with some Labelle tights (that I’ll never wear.) 😛

A few other quick notes about this week:

• On Tuesday, Wisp gave me some camo pants.
• My savings balance reached 56 million bells on Wednesday.
• Gullivarrr sent me a pirate-treasure robe yesterday.

Have a good weekend, everyone! 🙂

On Friday, Ankha asked me if the weather was gorgeous, in a pyramid.

I don’t know, it might be a little dusty, dry, and dark in there.

I grabbed five Nook Miles Tickets and headed off to some mystery islands to hunt for a possible new villager. Pango the anteater greeted me on the first one, and she was standing on one foot. 😛

My options were not looking very enticing, especially when Walt and Biff were on the next two islands. However, I was a bit surprised to find my buddy Hornsby on the 4th island!

I like Hornsby a lot, but I just had him and let him go. He only moved out in January, after all…so I left him there and continued on. The 5th (and final) island had Alice the koala. Even though she’s cute, I chose not to adopt her (sorry, Xavier). 😛

At this point, I decided to just roll the dice on a random villager. I checked the plot yesterday, and I was quite surprised to see who was moving in! It was a villager I’ve already had before: Midge!

Midge moved out in 2021, and it feels so weird to have someone move back in again so soon. I haven’t even had any former New Leaf villagers move back in, and that town is almost ten years old!

K.K. Slider was in town last night, and he performed K.K. Fusion for me, Bones, Ankha, and Punchy.

Today, I went in to meet Midge. She did not seem to remember me. But welcome back, Midge! 🙂

She came from J.C. Island, which is Jac’s town. I kinda wish villagers didn’t move back in so soon like this (unless it was intentional, from using an amiibo, of course). This didn’t happen in the older games; whenever a villager returns in GameCube or City Folk, I find it’s usually at least 7-10 years from their first stint in town. (Unless it was a result of train travel on GameCube.)

But at least Midge is a character that I know and like. I just hope it isn’t awkward between her and Marina, though. Marina is the other pink normal animal in town…the one who took Midge’s original house plot. 😛

I found a lost item on the beach today, and it turned out to be Louie’s workout journal. He thanked me for returning it, and he gave me some simple sunglasses.

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

On Wednesday, Gulliver sent me a hula doll in the mail.

Yesterday, Sasha told me that he wanted to move away to see the world. I thought about it, and I decided to let him go. He has lived in town for a year and four months (since December 2021), so he’s had a nice run.

Ankha asked me for a new catchphrase, and I decided to use one that Beth suggested: In a pyramid. 😆

Huck the frog was camping at the campsite, so I said hello. I wasn’t interested in him, even though he’s clearly a lot better than the frog I got in City Folk last week. 😛

Today was Sasha’s moving day. He said that on TV, nobody says “goodbye.” They just smile and say “I’ll see ya later,” he told me. And that’s exactly what he did.

Jolly Redd’s ship was parked on the north beach, and he had very low-priced products today! He was selling a bath bucket for 250 bells, and a toothbrush-and-cup set for 630 bells. That’s both non-art items for under 1,000 bells! Maybe Redd’s not as greedy as I thought he was! 😉

At those prices, I didn’t even bother checking my catalog to see if I needed those color variations. I just bought them.

I’ll probably use some Nook Miles Tickets tomorrow to hunt for a new villager. But if I don’t find anyone good after a few tries, I may just leave it to chance. See you soon!
