Not My Day

Yesterday, I was shocked (and horrified) to find a goodbye letter from Filbert in the mail. He left without warning. 🙁

Oh, by the way, Jeff, Oh, hey! When I moved out of Forest, I took a tile from the plaza... Was Tortimer mad? I'm nervous! -Filbert

He had become my favorite villager in town, and it’s incredibly sad to see him go. 🙁

Yay Day is coming up on Sunday, and Pippy said that she would have to come up with something nice to say about me that was believable.

Pippy: I'm gonna have to come up with something nice to say about you that's believable.
I can just feel the love.

I apparently neglected to keep up with the time, because a UFO flew by and I was not prepared for it. I was all the way down by the beach, so I had a long way to run to chase after it. Despite my best efforts, I was not able to catch up to it in time.

The UFO got away.

It was definitely not my day. But I did manage to wish on a shooting star later.

Today, I received a letter from Wishy. He sent me a kiddie stereo for wishing on him.

To the wisher, Jeff, I heard a small voice call to me one lonely night. It made me happy...so I will grant your wish! -From Wishy the Star

I found a note in a bottle on the beach, and it was a love letter from Lucio to Joanna.

My beloved Joanna, I've sent you so many letters. When am I gonna get one back?! I can't sleep thinking about it... -Your Lucio

I’ve seen this one (and Joanna’s reply) before, but I still appreciate seeing these occasional notes on the beach.

Marina told me that one time, she tried playing hockey with a big mouthful of ice cream. Unfortunately, it got stuck in her throat!

Marina: ...It got stuck in my throat! It was terrible!

It sounded like a serious situation, but she survived. I’m glad she found a way to lick that problem.

Frobert asked me to deliver a letter to Whitney, so I hopped on over to Whitney’s den. Whitney said the stationery was cute, and she showed me the letter:

Hey, Whitney, I love getting stuff in the mail! Keep it up! You gotta stay strong! Eat cioppino! Bye! -Frobert

Despite liking the stationery, she didn’t seem to understand the letter. But she said she likes receiving mail all the same.

Whitney: It didn't make much sense to me, but I just like getting mail, on a pig.

When I returned to Frobert, he thanked me…but didn’t give me a reward. I then realized my pockets were full. Oof.

Have a good weekend, everyone.

Not Morning People

Yesterday, Frobert showed me a crazy letter he got from someone. The author said that everything they say is a lie…which would mean that everything they say isn’t a lie, which would then mean it is… 😵‍💫

To Frobert, Everything I say is a lie. Or is it? Ha ha! You'll never know! -A liar...or am I?
Truly you have a dizzying intellect.

I normally fall into the daily pitfall (just so I don’t have to bother digging it up), but Marina beat me to it yesterday! Oops! Poor Marina!

Marina struggles to get out of a pitfall.

Truffles is now in her third week of being sick, and I gave her more medicine yesterday and again today. Hopefully this will be the last of her illness, because she’s starting to hog up all the medicine in the game!

Today, Chief got really mad at me just for talking to him in the morning!

Chief: Mrmh... Would you just shut up! Yap yap yap! That's all you do! I just got up, OK?

He even told me to wait outside until he brushed his teeth!

Chief: Do me a favor and wait outside at least until I've brushed my teeth.

Maybe don’t unlock your door for visitors until you’re ready then, smart guy.

But Chief wasn’t the only one unhappy to be disturbed in the morning. Whitney echoed a similar sentiment. She just wasn’t quite as rude about it.

Whitney: I'm happy that you came to visit me this morning, but I'm not a morning person.
Whitney: So, if it seems like I'm in a bad mood, don't blame me.

I guess my wolves just aren’t morning people. Understandable.

Frobert was talking about La-Di-Day, which is coming up soon. He said maybe this is finally the year for his song “Muscle Hustle” to become the new town tune. 😛

Frobert: This is the year, man! This is FINALLY the year for The Muscle Hustle!

I probably won’t be playing on La-Di-Day though, so he’s likely going to be out of luck.

On Wednesday, I received my monthly bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 95,150 bells in interest for the month. I’m getting so close to the maximum! I must need 20 million in the bank to get the max, so maybe it’ll probably take a few more months to get there.

Chief was still talking about the skull shirt I gave him last week. He said it makes him look five or six years younger. I don’t know about that, but I’m glad he still seems to like the shirt.

Chief: In these new threads, I look at least five... No, maybe even six years younger!

But then, seconds later, he said he wanted some stylish clothes now. These villagers are never happy. 😛

Filbert again asked me if I wanted to see a nice picture of a couch. But this time, I said no initially, and then no again when he asked if I was sure. (I wanted to see how he’d react.) He told me my honesty was brutal…but he said he appreciated it!

Filbert: What? J-bot! Your honesty is always brutal. It stings! But I appreciate it.

He even gave me a free rock guitar! I guess I should remember to always decline couch photos. 😛

Robin was telling me some “disturbing” things that Pascal told her…about polishing gemstones?

Robin: Excessive polishing can nick gemstones. But...exfoliation is totally important!

I didn’t quite understand any of the conversation, to be honest.

Back outside, Marina really surprised me by giving me her photo!

Marina: You're the best friend I've got here in Forest, so I want to give you this.

She’s only lived here for three months, so I was not expecting this at all. It feels like I’ve barely even chatted with her much yet! But I’ll gladly take the photo, and I put it in my house. I had to move Curt’s photo into storage to make room for it, though.

Her favorite quote on the back is “I think I’m the only sane one in this town.” 😛

Quote on the back of Marina's pic: I think I'm the only sane one in this town.

As expected, Truffles is still sick with a cold. I gave her some medicine Wednesday and again today. Get well soon, Truffles!

I spotted Gulliver’s UFO flying over town today, and I was able to shoot it down. Gulliver didn’t remember quite what happened, but that’s probably for the best.

Gulliver: The last thing I remember is...my ship, drifting through the celestial seas.

After I gathered up the missing pieces of his ship, he rewarded me with some plate armor…for the 5th time.

Frobert was trying to move out of town, but I talked him out of it.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone! See you next week!
