I went into Able Sisters on Monday, and I was seemingly greeted by what looked like the ugliest Able Sister yet! But it was actually just Diva, who was shopping as a tourist. I just wish she wouldn’t get up in my face and stare at me like this. It’s kinda creepy. \ud83d\ude28<\/p>\n\n\n

On Tuesday, I got my shovel out to dig up a fossil, but a tourist walked right over to the dig spot and just stood there! As if she was purposely keeping me from digging it up! \ud83d\ude06 Move it, Big Bertha!<\/p>\n\n\n

Yesterday, Miranda the duck was camping over at the campsite. I’ve never been a big fan of her, dating back to my ACCF days. Some of you may remember she used to walk over and interrupt my online sumo matches back in the day. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

C.J. was in town today, and I completed his seasports challenge by catching three “small fry” fish in a row. I then sold him 29 fish (mostly sharks) for a total of 457,500 bells. When I put my day’s earnings into savings, my balance reached 139,230,000 bells.<\/p>\n\n\n

And that’s certainly not a nice, round number, so you’re probably wondering why I’m even mentioning that. But there is <\/em>a reason: My New Horizons savings balance has now just (barely) surpassed my New Leaf savings, for the first time! So this is my new highest total for any game in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of you may remember the line graph video<\/a> I posted of my bell balances in each Animal Crossing game two years ago. I suppose I’ll have to update it soon! Although I may wait until the difference between ACNH and ACNL is a bit larger so it doesn’t look like they end with a virtual tie at that scale. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, here are a few other quick notes about this week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
