On Monday, I received confirmation in the mail that I won the fishing tournament. 🙂

A fish trophy was attached to the letter, and I put it on my mush table…which has become my trophy table. I believe my trophy collection is now complete…and it’s nothing to sneeze at.

Outside, Bob was talking about the ways to hold a net. He said that Peanut holds a net in each hand…except that he called Peanut a “he,” not a “she.”

I gave Bunnie some more medicine on Monday, and she was all better by Tuesday. She thanked me for all the medicine by giving me a cabin rug.

Peanut asked me if I’ve seen a flea lately, and I said no. So she figured that maybe they’re out of season, and she blamed Bob for fooling her. And she called him a jerkface. 😛

Yesterday, Phyllis was snapping and cracking her gum in town hall…and she didn’t care who was upset by it. 😛 She said she’s been stressed out lately, because of some “stupid boy.”

Olivia asked me for a new catchphrase today, so I told her to say “it’s a lie.” Now it will sound like everything she says is a lie. 😛 This has some potential to make some good screenshots in the future.

Kid Cat’s replacement moved in today: It’s Roscoe the cranky black horse. I’m not sure how I feel about him yet; I don’t have much experience with him, but we’ll see how it goes.

That’s enough horsing around for this week. I’ll see you all next time. 🙂

On Friday, Tom Nook was talking about his friendship with Sable. She helped him to stop feeling bad about his unpleasant time in the city years ago.

Moments later, Samson surprised me by giving me his picture!

I displayed the photo in my house, and Samson’s quote is “This isn’t a dress I’m wearing! It’s a muscle tee!” I can’t imagine a muscle tee being mistaken for a dress though, so I’m a bit confused by that quote.

I spoke with Kid Cat outside, and he told me to come talk to him if I ever have any problems. After all, he said, “we’re photo-pals.”

But I received some bad news from Kid Cat this morning: He moved out of town! Without warning. How am I supposed to go to him with my problems if he’s not around? I’m sorry to see him go. 🙁

I also received my latest house score (206,151), and I bought another red turnip from Joan.

Later on, the fishing tournament was underway. With Tortimer in town, I was able to give him a massage chair for a scallop…and then I did it again. It’s good to know you’re not limited to one exchange per day. And if you order multiple massage chairs, you could easily stock up on scallops for Pascal.

Olivia told me she was was definitely going to win the tourney, so she told me to “back the HECK up.”

In contrast to Olivia’s bravado, Goldie’s talk of her fishing strategy was almost comical. She said she sticks her face in the river to become one with the fish. 😛

Bunnie has been sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine Friday, and then again today.

After making my rounds, I started fishing. My first several attempts didn’t go very well, but then I caught a 43.3-inch sea bass that took the lead. Tortimer gave me a tulip table as my prize.

But I didn’t stop there. I continued fishing, and I eventually topped my high score with a 45.8-incher, and then a 46.2-incher. Tortimer rewarded me with a fan and a trash bin.

At 6:00, the tournament ended. There is no immediate confirmation of the winner, but I was still in the lead as of 5:59, so I’m pretty sure I have it wrapped up. Even though I’ve participated in a couple of fishing tourneys before, this will be my first win.

In this week’s letter from the Happy Room Academy, I was informed that my house score is 202,539 points! I’ve topped 200k for the first time! The addition of Bob’s pic last week must have been the reason (or at least the main reason) for the boost!

Once I complete my space room, I plan on posting a house tour video.

Wendell was in town on Monday, and I gave him a red turnip. In return, he gave me another turban. Now I just need Saharah to show up again, and hope that she gives me a red vase for it.

When I visited Peanut, she told me she was fully recovered from her cold. She thanked me for the medicine I’ve given her lately, and she gave me a green lava lamp.

Tom Nook was telling me that a customer told him his clothes were too old-fashioned. It reminded him of his days in the city, where he was known as “Off-the-Hook Nook.” 😂

On Wednesday, Peanut told me that she read in a magazine that football fish oil prevents wrinkles. But she said it was too expensive…so she wanted to catch a football fish and then just rub it on her face! 😮

Tonight, I shot down a UFO. In the process, I helped Gulliver crash land exactly where he intended. 😉

I gathered up Gulliver’s UFO parts as I made my way around town. After I returned them all to him, he rewarded me with an Arc de Triomphe. I added it to my Gulliver room.

Goldie asked me to make a delivery to Peanut, and of course I agreed to help out. Once the job was done, Goldie got right to the point and rewarded me with a cactus.
