I spotted Saharah as soon as I came out of my house today. So I grabbed my turban, and headed over to speak with her. She noticed the turban immediately, and she asked if she could have it. Of course!

Saharah was really happy about the turban, saying that she has nothing to fear now. She said “Not even the desert sun can touch me!” In return, she gave me a massage…chair.

That was good news, because that’s the item I needed to continue on and get the golden axe. The next step, according to Thonky’s golden axe guide, is to give the massage chair to Tortimer. He should be outdoors for the Bug-Off later this month, so I can give it to him then. In the meantime, I tested it out!

Anyway, I spoke with Saharah again and I was able to make deliveries for her. I took a rug to Tom Nook, a carpet to Mabel, and then a carpet to Blathers.

For my reward, Saharah let me choose either an ancient wall or a music room floor. I chose the former.

I saw a balloon present, so I shot it down; there was a Corinthian post inside. Hmm, I wonder how that balloon was strong enough to carry a Corinthian post, and yet weak enough to be popped by a pebble from a slingshot. 😛

There was a new “Talking to Myself” message on the bulletin board. The author said she just ate some candy that has as much Vitamin C as 300 lemons! That must be some really sour candy!

Goldie was still sick, so I gave her some more medicine. I’m starting to feel like this is just a medicine-dispensing game. 😂

When I spoke with Peanut, she said she was on a really tight budget this month…that’s why she was hunting for bugs to sell. But she apparently hates looking for bugs, and considers it to be a gross job. 😛

Even though I plan on playing tomorrow, there probably won’t be a new entry unless something major happens (like Margie’s replacement moving in). But I’ll be back with more next week! Enjoy your weekend, and Never Stop Crossing!

I was very surprised and disappointed when I checked the mail today. Margie sent me a goodbye letter! She moved out without notice! 🙁

Margie has been one of my favorites since she moved in over three years ago. Our last conversation was on Monday. She asked if I still had the photo she gave me, and I said “of course!” Her last words to me were “It’s like I gave you a little piece of my heart, and you kept it safe and warm!” 😢

It’s odd that I get more random move-outs when I’m playing more frequently. When you only play once a week (especially if it’s on the same day), you may find someone in boxes. But you can always talk to them and change their mind. I went a very long time without losing someone randomly. But when you’re playing more frequently, even skipping one day can cost you a favorite villager.

Anyway, I ran into Samson and he accused me of gaining weight, blowing off his training regimen, and lying about it.

So I pitfall’d the rude rat.

Olivia told me that she could totally relax if she had a room full of white furniture. But she already has a room full of white furniture!

Goldie was still sick, so I gave her some more medicine.

I shot down a balloon present and got a retro TV from it. But overall, it was a disappointing day in Forest. Margie left, no Saharah, no UFO, no spotlight product, and it seemed like everyone was in a bad mood.

Maybe tomorrow will be better. I hope so.

Samson just moved into town yesterday, and today, he’s celebrating a birthday! I stopped over at Nookington’s to look for a birthday gift, and I found just the thing! 😉

I then headed over to Samson’s house to enjoy the party. Hopefully Samson can find the strength to install his new barber’s pole. ✂️✂️

He gave me a lady palm in return. Peanut the squirrel–not Samson’s supposed girlfriend Olivia–was the other villager at the party.

Have Samson and Olivia already broken up? Well, their relationship was a game of cat and mouse, after all. 😛 Or more likely, Rolf was wrong about them being together in the first place. You have to take everything he says with a grain of salt.

And speaking of Rolf, he was bad-mouthing the pelican sisters over by town hall tonight. He said that Phyllis is a pain in the neck, and Pelly might be even worse…even though Pelly looks nicer.

And then he said they were both nuts. 😮

Once I went inside, Pelly had some more dialogue for me. Now that she knows Pete doesn’t drink coffee, she said she doesn’t enjoy going to the Roost much any more. But Brewster did try to cheer her up…by telling her that a good cup of coffee can change a man’s heart. Pelly thought it just sounded like a commercial for the Roost. 😛

Margie must have given her cold to poor Goldie, because Goldie is sick as a dog now. Fortunately, I was there to give her some medicine. I guess I’ll have to keep buying more every day, because these colds last forever in Wild World.

There were no special visitors in town today, and I played too late to have a chance at a balloon present. Tomorrow is Redd’s day, so I’ll probably skip playing, but I’ll be back with (at least) one more entry later in the week.

See you next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
