Sunday Morning Knee Injury
I've been hard at work remodelling a few facilities on the holiday island, as well as redoing a few rooms in my house. This journal entry will show some sneak peaks of what I've been working on with separate picture entries coming later so I can document them better. So for now, enjoy a not-so-typical Sunday on Tansan!
The day started off with me checking the mail. Now that I've had more time to play daily I've been meaning to start a few correspondence chains to see what kind of letters I can get since I normally don't send letters to villagers. Maybe I should write to Hamphrey to let him know that Jambette knows a thing or two about love and fishing?
My usual routine involves me making my island rounds and busting out my dance moves whenever possible. I'm sure my villagers (and special villagers) are sick of my overly enthusiastic dancing by now. But I laboured for hours building vacation homes for these financially irresponsible animals just to learn how to dance like an awkward teenager, so I'm going to dance damn it!
Afterwards I went to visit Dizzy in his recently remodelled home and saw that Scoot was hanging out! He suggested we play some three-on-three team basketball. I'm trying to keep active, so I took this suggestion seriously, even though I'm pretty sure Scoot has no idea what a team means, or how to play basketball.
Sadly, neither Scoot or Dizzy showed up to our scheduled game. So instead I jammed out with Tabby by the record store. At this point in the morning I was beginning to feel some weird clicking and pain in my knee, but I brushed it off and went about my business.
After some hardcore missing-the-basket, I ran into Ken. To fulfil my good deed quota for the day, I found and I returned Ken's missing coin pouch! After looking all over the island for it, the pouch turned out to be in the most obvious place. Since Ken is such an avid fashionista, of course the last place he'd leave it would be by the Able Sister sales! He was probably trying to keep up with the cool kid trends. But we all know that anything a villager buys on the spur of the moment is just going to end up in my pockets anyways.
Apparently Ken had a present all ready for me. It was a heart apron. Something tells me that he would have found a way to give this to me whether or not I found his coin purse. I'm glad he resisted the urge to gift me a maid apron and opted for a more appropriate toned-down version of his fantasies.
Ken's gift inspired me to do some baking in my newly made Kitchen! Yesterday I moved my hobby room to the basement and made my kitchen (which was previously in the main room) into its own dedicated space! Maybe it's still a work in progress because I was using whatever items I had in my inventory, but I'm happy with how it looks so far! Will post some better photos or updates later.
Of course, baking is better shared with friends, so I brought my pear pie over to Jambette's! It was at that moment that the pain I felt earlier could no longer be ignored. I suspected that the workout I did on my own at the basketball courts in Converses that has zero ankle support is probably the reason behind my problems. I was confident that I could get this sorted out quickly, because I did design the hospital myself with top notch facilities after all.
I hurried to the hospital still dressed in my apron and slippers and made my appointment with Dr. T-Bone. (I thought he'd be a fitting bone doctor what with his career appropriate name and all ha-ha... fun fact: we also share the same birthday). I had only sat down for a few seconds before Nurse Gala called me in, even though it was obvious that the others had been waiting there for hours. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the 50,000 Poki donation I slipped in earlier.
To my horror, it turns out that the problem was my dancing all along. I didn't want to admit it, but it's likely I'll have to tone down the gyrating from now on. The doctor then went on to say some smart stuff and I was beginning to be very impressed with the hospital and professionalism... that's all until Dr. T-Bone told me to wear a full on Halloween costume during my recovery process. Hmm... I wonder how much Poki it will take to remove this doctor?
Since I had only just remodelled the hospital recently, I had no idea that this little interaction with the nurse and doctor could even take place, so that was a fun surprise. I'm looking forward to getting hurt more often and seeing what the other dialogue/cure options are. I guess I better keep on dancing and find out.
