Hopelessly Chasing

On Thursday, Chief was talking about the upcoming Bug-Off. He said he’s going to love watching me hopelessly chase after bugs! It sounds like he doesn’t have much faith in me.

Chief: I'm gonna love watching you hopelessly chasing after nasty critters!

But I probably won’t be playing on Sunday for the event anyway, so I guess I can’t prove him wrong this time. 😛

Saharah was in town, asking me to help make deliveries for her. But she was really up in my face!

Saharah: Yes, yes, very important. This must be delivered right away.

I took some carpeting over to Pelly (for Phyllis) and some wallpaper to Mabel at Able Sisters. And unlike last time, I actually remembered to return to Saharah to collect my reward. 😆 She gave me a meadow vista.

Pippy asked if I liked her clothes, and I must’ve picked the sweet spot on the slider. She was thrilled that I liked her style, even though she kind of insulted the rest of the town in the process.

Pippy: Really?! I knew you'd like my style, in a pond!
Pippy: You and me are soooo the 'it' personalities in this backwater town!

Marina was still sick with a cold, so I gave her some more medicine. But by yesterday, she was finally feeling better. She thanked me for the medicine and she gave me a Persian rug.

Marina: Seriously, without your care, I'd probably still be sniffling in bed.

It was raining in town yesterday, and Derwin said it was a great day for staying home and sleeping. Except that he was outside instead, getting rained on. (And not sleeping.)

Derwin: Days like today are great for staying at home and sleeping all day.

But he has been annoying me lately. All he ever wants to do is have a competition to see who can catch a rarer bug. That’s all he ever says any more, and I’m not interested.

Tonight, I went over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. He performed “K.K. Gumbo” for me.

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

After the show, Chief had a pop quiz for me. He said if I answered correctly, he’d give me something “unbelievably good.”

Chief: If you're right, I'll give you something unbelievably good, on a pig.

So he asked me how he was feeling, and I guessed that he was feeling “fine.” That was correct, and he gave me a lab wall. I don’t see how that’s an “unbelievably good” item, but I guess I’ll take it.
