Mitzi Moves Out

Yesterday, I got something in the mail that I never wanted to see. It was a goodbye letter from Mitzi, who left unexpectedly. 🙁

My dear friend Jeff, I'm leaving. You've been the nicest person in Forest! Thank you so much for everything! Miss you! -Mitzi
No! Come back, Mitzi!

Today, Drift asked me to make a delivery to Eloise. It was a gold armor suit, and Eloise said she liked it…but for some reason, her reaction sounded a bit insincere to me.

Eloise: Hey! I've always wanted a gold armor suit.

She thanked me for the delivery, and Drift later rewarded me with 510 bells.

I spotted a large fish shadow in the river, and I caught myself a stringfish! I always love catching these. 😁

Whoa... I caught a stringfish!

When I ran into Octavian, he told me the spot where we were standing reminded him of a nail clipper he once had. Wait, what?

Octavian: Hey! This place always brings up memories of this nail clipper I had...
Weird guy. 😛

When I came out of Caroline’s house, I heard (and spotted) a shooting star up in the sky. I quickly made a wish.

Wishing on a shooting star in Animal Crossing: Wild World (ACWW).

I’ll get a letter from Wishy in the mail next time, although I’m not hoping for anything in particular.

Dotty has still been sick this week, so I gave her more medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and then again today. And of course, that’s in addition to the three doses I gave her last week. Oof. I don’t think this medicine is working. 😛 Get well soon, Dotty.

See you all next time!

The Meaning of Petunias

Saharah was in town on Wednesday, and she asked me to make some deliveries for her. So I delivered some wallpaper to Tom Nook, some wallpaper to Mabel, and some carpeting to Phyllis.

Saharah: Done! It is finally done! Thank you so much for your help, friend!

She rewarded me with a blue tarp.

On the bulletin board, I found a new “Talking to Myself” post. The author is considering sending a big cookie to her dad on his birthday. 🍪

-Talking to Myself- I'm thinking about what to send my dad for his next birthday... Maybe he wants a big cookie! Yummy!

Tonight, Caroline was telling me about the meanings of flowers. She said that petunias can either mean “your presence soothes me” or “I totally resent you.”

Caroline: Get this: a petunia can mean either that your presence soothes me...
Caroline: ...or that I totally resent you and want nothing to do with you!

Interesting. But if it was the latter meaning, then why would you giving that person a flower anyway? 🤔

At the Roost, K.K. Slider performed Go K.K. Rider for me. Good song.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Go K.K. Rider!!

Bones told me there are three things that would turn his house into a “severe place:” Some bubble tea, a harmonica, and him. Sounds good. I wouldn’t mind seeing a dog play the harmonica. 😛

Bones: Some buble tea! A harmonica! And me!

Dotty has been sick lately, so I gave her some medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and again tonight. Get well soon, Dotty!

Bright Nights 2024

It’s Bright Nights week in Wild World, and villagers’ homes (and some cedar trees) are decorated with festive colored lights. Here’s a photo of Eloise’s and Caroline’s homes:

The decorated house of Eloise and Caroline during Bright Nights.

After looking around at all of the houses, I decided that I liked Octavian’s house best (mainly due to the proximity to decorated trees).

Outside of town hall, Tortimer was enjoying the event…maybe a little too much. 😛

Tortimer: Brrrr-right! Cha-cha-cha! Brrrrr-right! Cha-cha-cha!

I told him that Octavian’s house was my favorite, and he said he would let Octavian know of my choice. But I saw Octavian in the background, so I went to speak him immediately. Somehow, he had already heard the news. He thanked me and said he owes me a root beer.

Octavian: You know, kiddo, maybe I owe you a root beer, yip yip!

I found a note in a bottle on the beach, but it was just an advertisement for Lyle’s insurance. I would’ve thrown it back into the sea if I could have. 😛

Valued Patron Some Stranger: This special offer is just for you! Sign up now, before it's too late! Don't be fooled by imitations! -Your insurance agent, Lyle

If you haven’t seen the lights of Bright Nights yet, you have through the weekend. Enjoy the sights! The snow will be gone in a few weeks too!
