What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

[MarzipanDragyn]

Holiday prep foils my posting plans once again It's probably gonna get worse until X-mas is over, but it is what it is..


12/20 (snowing)
• Isabelle mentioned that Leif was visiting today; as usual, though, I didn't buy anything.
• Took the violin beetle model out of the mail.
• Remembered I needed to make a temporary space for our finicky rock, so I cleared out a spot for it in the field near Rhonda and Gayle's houses.
• Found a gyroid fragment on the beach!
• Rock update: INTHEFRIGGINFIELDAGAIN. Hopefully, thanks to the open spot, it'll show up elsewhere tomorrow...
• Made a perfect snowman, and recieved two large snowflakes from the others ❄❄
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
• Gathered up some snowflakes!

12/21
• Isabelle mentioned that Celeste was in town! (I'm not used to her announcing that, so it still surpasses me when she does) I had to track her down, but she gave me instructions for making a tree-branch wand!
• Recieved a frozen partition in the mail from yesterday's snowboy. Immediately found a place for it
• Chatted with a few of my residents as I ran across them.
• Rock update: ...it didn't pop up in the open spot...it's BACK IN THE DANG FIELD!!! (I opened up another spot after I broke it; one way or another, I'm getting it outta the field)
• Dug up the gyroid fragment from yesterday; retrieved a Bendoid! Also dug up a Boomoid and a Clatteroid that popped up from yesterday's snowfall.
• Made another perfect snowman, and recieved two large snowflakes from the others ❄❄
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
• Gathered up more snowflakes, made a few more decorations.

I did it! I finally made my princess mononoke room

 

[Chere.]

Got some of the final pieces for my backroom as well as my bathroom. I only started decorating my house a few days ago and I'm pretty happy with the progress I've made so far. My literal empty house was getting pretty sad and I realized I basically never went inside LOL. I feel like for the holiday season too it just felt fitting to make my home feel like a home.

I went mystery island hopping to find a new villager to match a gothic theme but no luck. I'll need to use an amiibo card. I did harvest a bunch of resources so the island hopping was useful.

 

[LuchaSloth]

I took all of the fake art I had in storage, brought it to a mystery island, and left it on the beach.

Of course, I now come to learn that I could have just placed it in a crafted garbage can. But, I didn't know that.

I accomplished disappointing two villagers.

I thought maybe my villagers would like coffee outside of Brewster’s, so I bought two to-go cups of coffee.

Gave them to a couple of villagers who acted like I gave them a handful of garbage.

Wow. Just…wow.

I want to try that now. Seems kind of weird they'd program it that way.

Did Toy Day today and everyone was so sweet I don't recall doing personal exchanges last year or the year before? I was probably too busy with irl holiday stuff so it was honestly really nice to take the time to gift exchange with all of my villagers.

Toy Day was huge fun on my island today. Even if in exchange I got one too many road racing sets! But especially being Santa's (well, Jingles's) little helper to start it all off.

I felt bad only for my new villager, Rex---today was his moving-in day (I met him on a remote island and he seemed nice enough and happy enough to think about it that I couldn't resist inviting him) and he couldn't be part of Toy Day with us today, but since I bought wall-mounted television sets to give my villagers on Christmas Day, I can make it up to him with one of them.

 

[Saah]

After a lot of giveaways and path building, I finally got rid of the junk (hybrids) in my island and got to move my game fair from the right side of my island to the left one! Now there's more space (I was finally able to fit the 2.0 plaza furniture in it!), and my right side is empty so I can finally do what I've been planning to do with it!

Problem is, I forgot what the plan was

LOL yeah I think I definitely got a few too many toy dinosaurs on my end but the feeling was honestly nice and wholesome. I only got into decorating my house this past week and before that I really only went on AC for my some dailies every few days. So it was nice to do something more/different.

I'm sure Rex will enjoy that wall-mounted TV though! Who could refuse such a great gift

[Bobbo]

I want to try that now. Seems kind of weird they'd program it that way.

And these were villagers that I’ve seen drinking coffee at Brewster’s!

 

[NookSchnook]

LOL yeah I think I definitely got a few too many toy dinosaurs on my end but the feeling was honestly nice and wholesome.

I got so many green toy dinosaurs you'd have thought someone was recruiting me for a franchise of Sinclair gasoline stations!

I only got into decorating my house this past week and before that I really only went on AC for my some dailies every few days. So it was nice to do something more/different.

I'm sure Rex will enjoy that wall-mounted TV though! Who could refuse such a great gift

He and the rest of my villagers loved getting them.

Naturally, I got in return a few "zonk" gifts---a suit of armor, a couple of ugly floors and walls, maybe the millionth fast-food uniform since I built the island in the first place, you have to say my villagers have delightfully perverse senses of humour. (And speaking of things that make no sense, what on earth are fast-food uniforms doing circulating around places where you don't have fast-food restaurants? )

After a lot of giveaways and path building, I finally got rid of the junk (hybrids) in my island and got to move my game fair from the right side of my island to the left one! Now there's more space (I was finally able to fit the 2.0 plaza furniture in it!), and my right side is empty so I can finally do what I've been planning to do with it!

Problem is, I forgot what the plan was

Today I decided to catch the critters I had been missing, then I found out I was only missing the Giant Snakehead this month! So I went to the pond and... huh? There was no pond in my island! I'm guessing maybe that was my plan for the right side, so I made a cute heart-shaped pond and caught the Giant Snakehead - I'll get the remaining fish and bugs in January and the one last sea creature in February! Now if only the art part of my museum was half as full as the others...

I also opened up my storage and sold all orderable furniture (and clothes I won't use) so now it's wayyy emptier and cleaner! What would I even do with the three sewing kits I owned? Got a lot of bells from all that, so I'm pretty happy!

And I updated my wand outfits - can you believe they were still long-sleeved? It's the middle of summer! Now they're short-sleeved, but while writing this I realized maybe I wanted sleeveless outfits... Hmm... Maybe you'll see another outfit-related post here tomorrow!

 

[NookSchnook]

This morning:

* Seeing the Christmas tree and trimmings removed from the Resident Services building, I started taking down the Christmas
decorations I put up around my island. Have to be ready for New Year's Eve, you know.
* Scored my usual four fossils during my morning "patrol."
* Watered my two produce fields, my house's flowers, and those around my villagers' homes. (Thank God for gold watering cans!)
* Bought expanded storage---good grief, I have almost ten million bells in the bank, what the hell do I need that much money for? Expanded storage only cost $700,000.

Redd was on my Island and I bought a genuine version of that robot like statue.
