Even though today is Groundhog Day in America, Wild World does not celebrate the occasion.

I found Gracie outside of town hall tonight, and she was more than happy to insult my clothing.

So…I vandalized her car. Don’t try this at home.

The bulletin board nearby had an interesting notice: Bright Nights start next Monday! This will be a new event for me, and it already sounds more interesting than La-Di-Day or Yay Day.

I found a new house in town, and I went inside to see who my new neighbor was. Turns out, it’s Moe the blue cat. I’ve never been a big fan of Moe; his eyes are so huge that they kind of creep me out.

I did a little fishing with the intention of earning some extra bells. But to my surprise, I caught some new fish that I apparently hadn’t caught before! One after another, I caught a pond smelt, a squid, a sea butterfly, and a bitterling. I promptly donated them all to the museum.

After that, I did catch some other fish that I was able to sell. When I went into Nook’s for the last time tonight, Tom Nook had some news for me. He told me that the shop will be closed February 3rd (tomorrow) as the store expands.

My fish money, along with fossil money and bells from the money rock, allowed me to make another 25,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall.

I’ll be back on Saturday with another entry. Hope to see you then!

My house has now been expanded to add another floor. It’s hard to get a good picture of my house from the center, since part of it would be off-screen and you can’t press up to look up in Wild World. So I walked to the side to get a decent look at it.

The upstairs room is 6 spaces by 6 six spaces. I don’t even know what I’m going to do with the extra space, but it’s good to have it.

I found Pudge’s goodbye letter in my mailbox. So long, little guy.

As I dug holes around a rock to check for the daily money rock, I noticed a snowball rolling towards me. Then I realized I hadn’t caught a dung beetle yet…so this was my chance! I got my net out and gave it a swing…success!

Static was outside today, and he started laughing when I spoke to him. I asked what was so funny, and he said he saw Baabara fall over! 😀

In Nookway, Tom Nook asked how I was enjoying my new three-story house (he’s counting the attic too).

He then delivered the bad news: I now owe him 598,000 bells. That’s going to take me a while to pay off.

I then went to the museum and donated my dung beetle. As you might imagine, he was not exactly overjoyed to receive it.

While I was there, I also donated a tricera torso (which completed the triceratops), and I caught some live music down in the Roost. K.K. Tango was tonight’s random song.

I found a dig spot up by the gate, and it turned out to be a pitfall seed. Since I saw Baabara walking in the area, I quickly re-buried it. It didn’t take long for her to walk right into it.

Speaking of Baabara, she must have started taking up gardening like Chevre. Because her house now has flowers all around it.

I made my way over to town hall, and I found a billiard table in the recycle bin. I think this was the first time I’ve actually found an item in there! Anyway, I paid 25,000 bells towards my new mortgage before heading home for the night.

Baabara asked me to make a delivery to Rod tonight, and I agreed to help (for Rod’s sake, not Baabara’s). When I took him the gift, he was already holding a net in one hand. So how did he open the package? He seemed to shatter it using mind control!

Yikes, I better not mess with this guy! I don’t want him shattering my package!

The gift was a scale armor suit, and Rod put it on right away. On my way back to Baabara, Static also asked me for a favor. He wanted me to deliver a letter to Kiki. Don’t these animals know that the post office is open 24 hours a day?

Anyway, Baabara thanked me for the help by giving me an apple clock. I then went to Kiki’s house and gave her the letter from Static. Surprisingly, she actually showed me the letter!

Static gave me an exquisite rug to thank me for making the delivery.

When I entered Pudge’s house, I saw that he had all his furniture packed up in boxes. He’s moving out of town, and I did not try to stop him.

Chevre and Puddles were both talking about the Happy Room Academy, and they were both upset that they’re not getting good home scores.

I finally paid off the last 13,000 bells on my mortgage, and I celebrated outside of town hall.

Tom Nook was shocked that I paid off the loan, but he was ready to expand my house again. He said I could add another floor now, and I had a choice between “Take me higher!” and “I hate heights!” I assume the latter option adds a basement instead, but I chose to go up. (Update: My mistake. There is no basement in Wild World).

It will be finished tomorrow, although I won’t see it until I play again on Saturday. I’ll be back with more then. 🙂
