I finally cleaned up the rivers, no more water areas now. All I have to do now is remove the back island 2nd floor and this island will be as flat as a tire.
I managed to nearly clear an entire quarter of my island! With all of the new items I'm completely revamping my island, while at the same time trying to keep its new layout more open. I wish the five star island didn't require so much overdevelopment--it makes the space feel claustrophobic and makes regular gameplay more difficult.
I did all of my dailies!
Checked mail, harvs island, hit rocks, dig up fossils, daily DIYs, kappn island, talked to all villagers, got coffee, checked both shops and did all my nook miles + 2x goals! just have aerobics left.. hope my villagers like a 2 am workout

• Today's HHA S-rank puts us at 227,760 points (sure, I expected it to go down since the season changed, but I didn't expect it to drop THAT much...).
• Recieved a DAL umbrella in the mail.
• Tried getting some of my back room ready for winter and X-mas.
• Dug up the gyroid fragment from yesterday; retrieved a Spikenoid!
• Chatted with Kitty (doing yoga in her yard), Patty (making fish and chips, which she then taught me how to make), Pekoe (doing some house-cleaning), Pashmina (chilling at home), and Rhonda (out for a stroll).
• Later, Kitty asked if she could visit some time; we headed over for a little while (admittedly, due to a misclick; I'd meant to schedule a hangout for tomorrow instead). She gave me a tee and towel.
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
• Got to buy some new things from the Able Sisters and the Nooklings!
• Visited Harv's island and checked in with everyone. Got a fortune from Katrina (increased luck with money), one acorn from Cornimer, and customized a lot of items with Reese and Cyrus.
• Went on a trip with Kapp'n and retrieved another gyroid fragment. Replenished some material stores and crafted things to sell.

Part two of my major island revamp which mainly consisted of me putting in a rather large waterfall behind residents services. Then that turned into a small river on second tier with a bridge connecting the two areas. I wasn’t planning such a major overhaul but I’m liking how it’s turned out so, up next is moving Able Sisters and Nook’s Cranny which should add a bit more symmetry to the plaza area in general.

✿ Checked the daily exchange rate on the AB&PD, it was 100 Poki = 222 Bells. ✿ Bought an Inflatable Bird Ring from Wardell. ✿ Picked up daily Message Bottle; had the Glowing-Moss Pointed Cap recipe in it, which I already have. ✿ Spoke to my restaurant's head chef, Cube, and got my daily recipe from him. He gave me the Peach Tart recipe, which I did not have before!
I received Pippy's photo and went into Able's to access some custom paths. After laying down all the island's pathways with in-game paths, I decided I'm not loving the dirt in-game paths. I had totally forgotten that weeds and flowers can grow in them and cross them. I want paths that will stop flower spread! And weeds too but mostly flowers. So I erased one area of in-game dirt path and replaced it with custom worn cobblestone path. I'm liking it better already but it will take time to switch out all the dirt for custom paths. Fortunately, the in-game stone path is working nicely for the major public areas, like the shops and plaza. So I guess I'll use a combination of in-game and custom.

12/6 (snowing)

• Chatted with Patty (chilling at home), Kitty (busy fishing), Rhonda (walking along the beach), Pashmina (staying indoors and staying warm), and Pekoe (shopping at the Able's).
• Later helped Patty get something returned to Harry, as he'd accidentally left it behind when he visited last.

After work I'm going to continue the long process of trying to buy and catalog all of the able sisters clothes.
Part two of my major island revamp and today I did a fair amount of time travelling so I could move Nooks and Able Sisters. Now that they’re placed I’m loving my shopping district and the zen bridge that connects the two areas with the river and waterfall running underneath. Sadly it’s hidden behind resident services but I also love that it’ll be a nice surprise for anyone who visits my island in the future.
Other than that I’ve decided that the plumeria bushes are the only bushes I’ll have my island going forward. Once they bloom in the summer months they’ll look gorgeous alongside my white and purple flowers. Up next for my island revamp is decorating the areas that connect my island entrance, resident services and shopping district with trees, mush parasols, mushroom platforms and some of the glowing moss items to make it all look more magical in general.
Today I did some minor work on my island, crafting some new items and placing them to fill up my campgrounds and bamboo beach area more. I also did a lot of work on my clothing catalogue, purchasing around 100k bells worth of items from the able sisters and cataloguing a good hundred or so from another user here. Finally 3/5ths of the way through it!
Actually terraforming my island and decorating it all pretty. Omg I love the new update sooo much it actually inspired me to tear everything down and build stuff.
Today I got the real Stone Head Statue from Redd and gave it to Blathers. I also fully paid off the gyroid stand at the bottom right corner of Harv’s Island, which I assume is Kicks
