Vigor and Verve

On Thursday, I received my monthly bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 93,650 bells in interest this month.

When I visited Filbert, he asked how long I soak in the bathtub. I had to use a slider to respond, with one extreme being “One hour” and the other being “I don’t.” I know I’ve picked the latter option before (maybe not with Filbert, but with someone), so I wanted to see what he’d say if I said one hour. He said that would be a steam bath, and he seemed to laugh at the thought of me sweating in the tub. 🛁

Filbert: Huh huh huh... J-bot is sweating in the bathtub!

On the bulletin board, I saw a notice that the Bright Nights festival is next week! Wow, that seemed to sneak up on me!

Yesterday, Filbert was again being weird. He told me that the ocean in February is full of vigor and verve. 🤷‍♂️

Filbert: The ocean in February seems full of vigor and verve!
…and fish.

Marina was standing nearby too, and she gave me some tips for getting a good score with the Happy Room Academy.

Marina: Don't just toss your stuff on the floor. Remember, nobody likes a slob.

Moments later, I chatted with Marina again. This time, she told me not to be in such a rush. She wanted me to take my time to shake a tree or pull a weed.

Marina: Don't be in such a rush all the time. Stop and shake a tree or pluck a weed!
I do!

I checked the recycle bin at town hall, and I found a weeping fig there. Or at least I think I did…unless it was a fig-ment of my imagination. I’m not sure why it was weeping, but maybe it was going through a root awakening. 😛

Today, I found Curt all packed up and ready to move out of town. He’s never been one of my favorites, but I have earned his photo and he has lived in town for over a year. So I feel like he’s had enough time in Forest, and I let him go.

Curt: ...Just say that Curt had to run from the law, in a pond.

Robin was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon, Robin!

After making my rounds, I went over to the Roost. K.K. Slider was performing tonight, and I asked him for a random song. He played “K.K. Rockabilly” for me.

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

I hope to see you all next week for Bright Nights!
