Last Wednesday, Mom sent me a letter telling me about a plant that can bring happiness. A coffee plant? Nope. She said it was a corn plant, but then she enclosed a dracaena instead. That did not make me happy. 😛

I also received the massage chair that I ordered.

On the bulletin board, someone wrote a “Talking to Myself” post about being called too “right-brained” by Blathers. Normally, I tend to think these posts are written by Pelly or Phyllis, but this one seems to have been written by Celeste. Interesting.

Today (Sunday), I started up the game in the morning briefly to buy a red turnip seed from Joan. I’m trying to stay prepared for the trading sequence, until I earn all of the rewards. And with that in mind, I played again later to give Tortimer my massage chair.

In return, he gave me another scallop to give to Pascal. Even though the Bug-Off was underway (which is why Tortimer was out of his nursing home office in the first place), I did not participate.

Olivia asked me to deliver a letter to Cyrano, and I agreed to help out. But once I handed over Cyrano’s letter, he got an attitude with me.

When I returned to Olivia, she rewarded me with a fairy-tale wall.

Kid Cat has still been sick lately, so I gave him some medicine on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. By today, he was finally over his cold. He gave me a white bishop for helping out with medicine all week.

When I returned home and checked my mail, I was astonished when I saw this letter. My jaw literally dropped.

BIG TOP MOVED OUT! WITHOUT WARNING! Big Top has been one of my favorites for a long time. And he’s been here for such a long time, too. My town will turn five years old next month, and he’s been here for 4.5 of those five years! Not only am I sad to see him go, but Forest is going to feel so different without him.

I already lost Margie two months ago, and now Big Top. I believe that now makes Goldie the (current) villager who has lived here the longest, and she hasn’t even been here two years yet. That’s less than half as long as Big Top. Such is life in the Wild World/City Folk era.

Fortunately, I do still have Big Top in New Leaf. I’ll be back with another entry at some point this week, so I hope to see you then.

Out in the rain today, I listened in on an unpleasant conversation between Olivia and Goldie. Olivia was insulting Goldie, saying that she was boring!

This made sweet little Goldie start crying. Poor doggie. 🙁 Olivia is a meanie.

Wendell was in town, and I gave him a red turnip. This was the last red turnip I had, so I’ll need to buy another one soon. In return, he gave me another turban (that’s a good thing, based on what I’m trying to do).

I’ll need to give this turban to Saharah, but this time, I’ll be hoping for a red vase, not a massage chair. And speaking of the massage chair, I learned of a little shortcut: After you’ve obtained the massage chair once, you can order it from your catalog.

I ordered one tonight. It can be given to Tortimer for another scallop, which should get me Pascal’s pic next time, since I’ve already earned the golden axe. Sorry, I know this is all a bit complex and confusing. 😛

Over at town hall, Pelly was again talking about Pete and his slap mark. She wondered if he broke up with his girlfriend, and that’s why she slapped him. Sounds like wishful thinking by Pelly, in my opinion.

Pelly asked Phyllis about her theory, and Phyllis suggested staying away from Pete (who she called a fool).

Why would Phyllis have such anger towards Pete? Unless she is the ex-girlfriend that Pete supposedly just broke up with? Pelly might be right about the ex-girlfriend thing, but she clearly doesn’t suspect that Phyllis is the ex-girlfriend. Interesting. 😛

Kid Cat was still sick, so I gave him a third dose of medicine today.

Over the weekend, I posted my latest Wild World video, episode 37. I hope you enjoy it.

See you all next time!

Saharah was in town yesterday, and she asked me to make a delivery to Pelly. After I did, Pelly had some new dialogue: She told me she was about to confront Pete, but she lost her courage when she noticed it looked like someone had just slapped him! 😮

She decided to just back off for now.

Next, Saharah asked me to deliver some wallpaper to Mabel. I did, and Saharah offered me a blue tarp or a daisy meadow. I chose the daisy meadow.

Kid Cat is the latest animal to catch a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and then again today.

Today, there was a new house in the spot where Margie recently lived. I went inside and found Cyrano the anteater. I’ve had him in City Folk before (quite a long time ago), and I like him.

Nookington’s had a spotlight product today, but it wasn’t a painting. It was a lucky gold cat, and I bought it for my house.

On the beach, I found a note in a bottle. It was a “Thought for the Day” by a fortune cookie philosopher, about two paths to enlightenment.

I’ll see you all next time.
