On Thursday, I received my monthly bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 93,650 bells in interest this month.

When I visited Filbert, he asked how long I soak in the bathtub. I had to use a slider to respond, with one extreme being “One hour” and the other being “I don’t.” I know I’ve picked the latter option before (maybe not with Filbert, but with someone), so I wanted to see what he’d say if I said one hour. He said that would be a steam bath, and he seemed to laugh at the thought of me sweating in the tub. 🛁

On the bulletin board, I saw a notice that the Bright Nights festival is next week! Wow, that seemed to sneak up on me!

Yesterday, Filbert was again being weird. He told me that the ocean in February is full of vigor and verve. 🤷‍♂️

Marina was standing nearby too, and she gave me some tips for getting a good score with the Happy Room Academy.

Moments later, I chatted with Marina again. This time, she told me not to be in such a rush. She wanted me to take my time to shake a tree or pull a weed.

I checked the recycle bin at town hall, and I found a weeping fig there. Or at least I think I did…unless it was a fig-ment of my imagination. I’m not sure why it was weeping, but maybe it was going through a root awakening. 😛

Today, I found Curt all packed up and ready to move out of town. He’s never been one of my favorites, but I have earned his photo and he has lived in town for over a year. So I feel like he’s had enough time in Forest, and I let him go.

Robin was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon, Robin!

After making my rounds, I went over to the Roost. K.K. Slider was performing tonight, and I asked him for a random song. He played “K.K. Rockabilly” for me.

I hope to see you all next week for Bright Nights!

On Wednesday, I went to the museum and watched the fish in the aquarium for a while. And you may call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure I saw a red snapper and a coelacanth kiss. 😆

Today, I received a letter from Mom in the mail. She said her pile of dirty dishes never disappears, no matter how many dishes she washes. 😆

Over by town hall, Whitney told me that good posture is the most important thing to keep in mind when walking. So she told me to strut around town like I’m “the cat’s meow.” 😸

At 9:57 p.m., I stood by the gate and I heard a sound I haven’t heard in a long time. It was Gulliver’s UFO, flying through the snow!

This the first UFO I’ve seen since last June! That’s over seven months! I already had my slingshot out and ready, so I had no trouble shooting it down.

When I made my way over to the crashed UFO, I found Frobert and Whitney there, fighting! They must’ve just had an argument, because Frobert was steaming mad. He was trying to walk away, but in the direction of the passed-out Gulliver. Whitney was standing just below him, so he couldn’t walk down either. 😛

I searched around town to find his missing UFO parts, although one of them was right next to a pitfall. It was like a baited trap…that I fell into. Thanks, Gulliver.

Once I retrieved all five UFO parts, I took them back to Gulliver. He thanked me by giving me a 2nd Merlion. Nice reward, but not what I needed. This was my 45th UFO reward, and I still haven’t completed my collection of Gulliver items. (I still need the tribal mask.) Maybe next time… 😮‍💨

Saharah was in town on Wednesday, and I helped her out by making deliveries to Mabel, Blathers, and Phyllis. The recipients were grateful…well, most of them were grateful.

Saharah then rewarded me with a desert vista.

Yesterday, Whitney was talking about her preferences in clothing.

Robin has been asking me for blue furniture again, so I gave her a blue wardrobe that I bought at Nookington’s. She was happy with it, and she rewarded me with a croton. She put the wardrobe on display in her house right away, and apparently, she even made a mess of it already! 😆

But as long as she’s happy with it, that’s what matters.

Back outside, Frobert was going on and on about how magnificent he looks when he pumps iron late at night. 🙄

Tonight, Filbert was talking about paparazzi, and he was wondering how to pronounce the word. But then he surprised me by warning me about Whitney! He said she always seems to be chasing people down!

Frobert had me deliver a nebula shirt to Filbert, and it was a big hit! Frobert then rewarded me with some cabana flooring.

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed one of my favorites, “Two Days Ago.”
