What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

Last night I finally got my last giraffe stag for the model woohoo!!!

I thought I'd go nuts decimating a couple of islands every frickin night last week just to get it since other rare stags would show up, but nooo, not the giraffe stag!

Then when I checked my list I realized after my museum donation, I never kept any of the extra giant snakeheads I caught for the model, I sold them all so I have to add that to the list now lol.
 
I have long wanted to do the flip into the water that we saw on one of the first Nintendo New Horizons videos. Giddy posted how to do it recently on the “Today I Learned” thread. It took me dozens of tries but I finally got the timing right and can now do flips off the pier (most of the time :rolleyes:)!

• There was a visitor at the campsite today; Papi the Okapi.
• Chatted with Pashmina (hanging out in the hybrid gardens), Kitty (who decided that I needed a pair of striped tights), Mathilda (admiring the museum's bug exhibit, and also wearing the shirt I'd sent her as an apology gift) and Pekoe (hanging out near the beach by Plucky's house). No matter where I looked, though, I couldn't find Patty anywhere.
• Saharah was visiting today; as usual, I bought her out.

8/12
• Visited Gayle, and found her asleep while standing up.
• C.J. was here today, this time with freestyle Fishing Challenge; upon completion, I brought him three pufferfish for a collectible.
• Chatted with Kitty, and helped her return a piece of furniture to Gayle she'd borrowed and had forgotten to return.
• Chatted with Patty, who decided I needed a cycling cap to go with my hula top.
• Found a lost bag at the picnic area nearby the museum. After asking around, I was able to return it to its owner: Mathilda (who I then chatted with for a little while). She gave me a camo tee in thanks.
• Chatted with Pashmina (who was exercising outside her house) and Pekoe (who was hanging out in the hybrid gardens).
• Witnessed a conversation between Pashmina and Patty about the importance of apologizing to friends and having the stubborn mindset of setting and changing trends. I'm pretty sure most of it went over Patty's head, because Pashmina looked rather exhausted and defeated by the end of the conversation.
• Ran into Wisp for the first time in a while; after helping him out, I received a broom and dustpan as a reward.

For the last couple of days:

-Learned diys from villagers
-Wrapped foreign fruits and gifted to every villager. No photo yet
-Yesterday, Redd, Celeste and Wisp all came together :) Redd had 3 genuine arts and I learned starry sky wall from celeste. Forgot what I got from Wisp
-Turnip price is still very low in the 70s
-Did some quests for villagers. Gave Lolly an apology gift from Moose and fished a freshwater fish for Ruby
-Talked to Dolly but she gets annoyed if I talk to her more than 4 times. I thought it was my issue but she was good today and I was able to talk to her my daily 6 times as well as gifted her a wrapped apple
-Did some online trading today! Haven't done that in a while and I thought I didn't want to waste my Nintendo Online while I still have it
-Sahara came! Redeemed the tickets that I have been saving up
 
Hamlet moved out and I’ve been villager hunting and on my 23rd ticket I found Diana and I couldn’t be more pleased. The start of my woodland villagers collection for my island has officially begun. 🥳
 
Just got cast master on my second island.

Today is my first day of legit playing it after terraforming it.
(I did a character transfer so I had terraforming from the moment I created the island)

So today was the first day I caught any fish on it.

To me it needs to be done as soon as possible so that losing a fish isn't stressful any more haha
 
⚪️ I bought some more cockroaches from nookazon. I managed to place one up for decoration. The rest are still undecided.

⚪️ I finished my last second character room.

⚪️ I rearranged back my beach area ( after moving it slightly for the camp event aquarium).

⚪️ I gifted Agnes some nicer clothing.

⚪️ Added a creepy tree to my plaza.
 
i haven't done much today...

except for moving some flowers & inviting maple for her first day of moving in :>


honestly, thought... i don't have much to do right now....

i really want to wait till the next major event that's coming up.... :>

I haven't been playing as much but I did give presents and buy another fake statue from Redd (yay!) and Miranda gave me her photo, the 160th one I've received. I like Miranda but when she asks to move, I'll let her since I'd like to replace her with someone whose house has more autumn-ish colors. Plus I gifted her a hibiscus hairpin accidentally and she's been displaying it in her house. :-(
