On Saturday, Big Top pinged me, interrupting me while I was hitting the money rock. But the money didn’t stop because I accidentally talked to him. The bells just stopped coming out of the rock once Big Top reached the opposite side of the rock (even though I kept hitting it)! So I only got 300 bells!

He gave me a free shirt, but that wasn’t much consolation. 😛

At town hall, I made my very first donation to the town of Boondox. I handed over 10,000 bells.

And at the Roost, K.K. Slider played some heavy metal music for me before I ended my game on Saturday night.

I picked up the game again today, and I received a letter from Boondox. The residents there told me they got to eat croissants today instead of day-old donuts. Wait, is that even an upgrade? Well, at least they’re not eating grilled dirt.

They also sent me a green feather as a gift, and I put it on right away. I still haven’t earned the first feather in City Folk, despite playing that game for 9.5 years! It’s much easier in Wild World.

Anyway, the Flower Fest began today. Curly said he didn’t care about it, because he’s not into girly stuff. 😛

At the nursing home town hall, they let Tortimer outside today. He told me about the Flower Fest, and he gave me a yellow rose bag. However, I don’t really plan on participating in the festival this year.

The new Message of the Week informed me that mice can indeed move mountains! It just takes some time. 😛

Baabara was sick, so I gave her some medicine. She sparkled as she drank it down.

Once I was done making my rounds, I went fishing in the river. Believe it or not, I actually caught two new fish today: A guppy and a bluegill.

At the museum, I donated both fish. Blathers told me that female guppies are quite dull…much like his sister Celeste. Wow, that’s harsh.

The Flower Fest continues through Sunday, so good luck if you’re giving it a try! See you next time!

On Saturday, Curly was finally feeling better after being sick for a while. He thanked me for the medicine I took him by rewarding me with a wooden box.

At Nookington’s, I bought a telescope for my house–my space-themed room, to be exact.

And down at the Roost, K.K. Slider performed the song “To the Edge” for me.

I played again today, and now that April is here, many of the trees are pink.

Crazy Redd was in town, and I used the password “lax adulthood” to gain entrance into his tent. He had a nice painting for sale, so I bought it. It turned out to be real, so I donated it to the museum. After a long stretch of not having luck with Redd’s paintings, I’ve now bought real paintings three weeks in a row!

If you’re keeping track, I only need four more paintings for the museum. But I still need 12 fish and six bugs, as well.

At town hall, I made my first deposit into my savings account: 50,000 bells.

I haven’t donated any money to Boondox yet, but I may do that sometime soon. See you next time!

Crazy Redd was in town today, and he had a basic painting for sale. I bought it, and it turned out to be the real deal! I quickly donated it to the museum.

The new Message of the Week said that money is the root of all evil. It then advised to dig, dig, dig. 😛

After correctly answering Big Top’s quiz, he gave me his gas pump. He told me to use it however I’d like.

While fishing, I caught a pale chub. I must have missed out on this fish last year, because this was my first one! I made sure to donate it to the museum.

At town hall, I paid off the last 35,000 bells that I owed. I am now completely debt-free! Yay!

I returned to Tom Nook, and he thanked me for paying off my loan. There was no reward for paying it off, but he advised me to open a savings account at town hall. Wow, thanks a lot, Tom Nook.

With that, I ended my game for the night. And now that I’ve fully paid off all my debt, I have a small announcement. I will now only be updating this blog once a week (for the most part, at least). While I still plan to play twice a week for a while (since I still need artwork on Tuesdays and K.K. songs on Saturdays), there generally won’t be a 2nd entry unless something significant is going on.
