Not Morning People

Yesterday, Frobert showed me a crazy letter he got from someone. The author said that everything they say is a lie…which would mean that everything they say isn’t a lie, which would then mean it is… 😵‍💫

To Frobert, Everything I say is a lie. Or is it? Ha ha! You'll never know! -A liar...or am I?
Truly you have a dizzying intellect.

I normally fall into the daily pitfall (just so I don’t have to bother digging it up), but Marina beat me to it yesterday! Oops! Poor Marina!

Marina struggles to get out of a pitfall.

Truffles is now in her third week of being sick, and I gave her more medicine yesterday and again today. Hopefully this will be the last of her illness, because she’s starting to hog up all the medicine in the game!

Today, Chief got really mad at me just for talking to him in the morning!

Chief: Mrmh... Would you just shut up! Yap yap yap! That's all you do! I just got up, OK?

He even told me to wait outside until he brushed his teeth!

Chief: Do me a favor and wait outside at least until I've brushed my teeth.

Maybe don’t unlock your door for visitors until you’re ready then, smart guy.

But Chief wasn’t the only one unhappy to be disturbed in the morning. Whitney echoed a similar sentiment. She just wasn’t quite as rude about it.

Whitney: I'm happy that you came to visit me this morning, but I'm not a morning person.
Whitney: So, if it seems like I'm in a bad mood, don't blame me.

I guess my wolves just aren’t morning people. Understandable.

Frobert was talking about La-Di-Day, which is coming up soon. He said maybe this is finally the year for his song “Muscle Hustle” to become the new town tune. 😛

Frobert: This is the year, man! This is FINALLY the year for The Muscle Hustle!

I probably won’t be playing on La-Di-Day though, so he’s likely going to be out of luck.

On Wednesday, I received my monthly bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 95,150 bells in interest for the month. I’m getting so close to the maximum! I must need 20 million in the bank to get the max, so maybe it’ll probably take a few more months to get there.

Chief was still talking about the skull shirt I gave him last week. He said it makes him look five or six years younger. I don’t know about that, but I’m glad he still seems to like the shirt.

Chief: In these new threads, I look at least five... No, maybe even six years younger!

But then, seconds later, he said he wanted some stylish clothes now. These villagers are never happy. 😛

Filbert again asked me if I wanted to see a nice picture of a couch. But this time, I said no initially, and then no again when he asked if I was sure. (I wanted to see how he’d react.) He told me my honesty was brutal…but he said he appreciated it!

Filbert: What? J-bot! Your honesty is always brutal. It stings! But I appreciate it.

He even gave me a free rock guitar! I guess I should remember to always decline couch photos. 😛

Robin was telling me some “disturbing” things that Pascal told her…about polishing gemstones?

Robin: Excessive polishing can nick gemstones. But...exfoliation is totally important!

I didn’t quite understand any of the conversation, to be honest.

Back outside, Marina really surprised me by giving me her photo!

Marina: You're the best friend I've got here in Forest, so I want to give you this.

She’s only lived here for three months, so I was not expecting this at all. It feels like I’ve barely even chatted with her much yet! But I’ll gladly take the photo, and I put it in my house. I had to move Curt’s photo into storage to make room for it, though.

Her favorite quote on the back is “I think I’m the only sane one in this town.” 😛

Quote on the back of Marina's pic: I think I'm the only sane one in this town.

As expected, Truffles is still sick with a cold. I gave her some medicine Wednesday and again today. Get well soon, Truffles!

I spotted Gulliver’s UFO flying over town today, and I was able to shoot it down. Gulliver didn’t remember quite what happened, but that’s probably for the best.

Gulliver: The last thing I remember is...my ship, drifting through the celestial seas.

After I gathered up the missing pieces of his ship, he rewarded me with some plate armor…for the 5th time.

Frobert was trying to move out of town, but I talked him out of it.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone! See you next week!

Five Gallons of Tea?

On Wednesday, I put some more money in the bank and my balance reached 19 million bells.

Pelly: The current bell balance is 19,000,000.

When I visited Filbert this morning, he was still tired. He was thinking of going back to sleep. 😴

Filbert: I'm actually thinkin' about goin' back to sleep, J-bot.
Go for it, sleepy little guy.

But first things first: He had a letter that needed to be delivered to Whitney in just ten minutes! I agreed to help out, and Whitney was overjoyed to receive the letter. Chief was standing there too, also looking very happy (but I don’t know why).

Whitney: Oh, it's a letter from Filbert. What an unexpected treat!

Whitney showed me the letter, in which Filbert said he ate the letter Whitney sent him. He also said he drinks five gallons of bubble tea a day! That little dude must have one heck of a powerful metabolism! 😆

To my buddy, Whitney, I was so hungry that I ate your letter! I drink five gallons of bubble tea a day. -The hungry Filbert

Whitney was entertained by the letter (as was I). When I returned to Filbert, he gave me a library wall to thank me for making the delivery.

Truffles came down with a cold today. I gave her some medicine, but I already know her sickness is going to carry over into next week.

Truffles: Glugalugalugalug... Ooooh, I don't think I'm fully recovered yet, snoutie.

Chief asked me for some new clothing, so I bought him a skull shirt at Able Sisters. He initially said “No way!” so I thought he didn’t like it. But he faked me out; he actually loved it!

Chief, as he puts on a skull shirt: I'm totally into it, on a pig. It's perfect!

He then rewarded me with a white veil.

Enjoy the newly-green grass of spring, and I’ll be back with another entry next week. Never Stop Crossing!
