What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

Welp, I'm off to a GREAT start this year; I'm already behind on posting by two days! Coulda sworn I posted on the 30th, though...

Ah well, no problem. I hope y'all had a blast! Here's to a new year, folks! 🎉🎊🎉


12/30 (snowing)
• Isabelle mentioned that C.J. was visiting today; after tracking him down, I brought him three golden trout for a collectible.
• Recieved two tailor's tickets in the mail from Label, along with a frozen bed from yesterday's snowboy.
• Chatted with a few of my residents as I ran into them.
• Made another tiny perfect snowboy, recieved three large snowflakes ❄❄❄ (I dunno why, but I'm getting a kick outta making tiny ones, especially since it's quicker to do)
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
• Decided to make a few items I hadn't gotten to crafting until now, and customized what I could so I could catalogue the variations.
• Shook a tree in search of sticks...and accidentally disturbed a wasp nest. Luckily, I made it into Resident Services in time! (Phew!)
• Collected seashells, random rarer flowers, and coconuts to sell. Ended up making a LOT of coconut juice, as it was a hot item today.
• Bought a LOT more customization kits (the pile of cash required 30 kits for a single customization 😱 )
• Put out some warmer dishes at the Sea Shack. A lotta potage is on the menu for the foreseeable future.
• Caught a tarantula lurking around in the snowboy field...pretty sure it might've been the same one that spooked me outside the museum. Revenge is mine 👍

12/31 (see ya, 2022! 🎉 )
• Took the golden trout model out of the mail, also recieved some ice flooring from yesterday's snowboy.
• Delivered the gifts and chatted with everyone. Took me a little while to track down Rhonda.
• Dug up a Rattloid and a Crumploid that popped up from yesterday's snowfall.
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Also discovered I'm only missing two art pieces from the gallery! So close to 100%!
• Had to track down the snowballs amd smash them to do it (found them near the plaza), but I built another little perfect snowboy in the field. Got three large snowflakes from the others. ❄❄❄
• Recieved a light stick from Isabelle and bought the new hats from Nook. Still gonna use my purple one, though.
• Logged out for a bit, and then came back later for the countdown! Also grabbed my own color-changing light stick from storage.
• Goofed off with everyone in the plaza for a bit after midnight hit, then went to bed. Happy New Year, folks! 🎉🎊🎉

1/1 (Happy New Year!)
• Isabelle happily announced that Slider was back in town; I attended the show a little later, and he played K.K. Condor.
• Put my party gear away and put my winter hat back on.
• Today's HHA S-rank puts us at 236,829 points, the same as last week. (Still sad it went down...)
• Recieved a snowperson head in the mail from yesterday's snowboy. Also recieved some art from ingame Mom.
• Chatted with my residents as I ran into them. Rhonda wished me a happy new year, seeing as I hadn't seen her at the countdown. (Rex hadn't been there either, but I didn't run into him today)
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Got to order with pigeon milk today!
• Despite searching virtually the entire island, I couldn't find the two snowballs ANYWHERE, and so no snowboy was made today. Still got the large snowflakes from the others, though ❄❄❄
• Had an unexpected visit from Kitty as I was putting things away. I won a chef's outfit off of get in a card game. To my surprise, she also gave me another copy of her photo! 💚

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉 Today I did a bit of time traveling to catch the special New Year's sunrise and sunset. They were both gorgeous but I found it difficult to take good photos with a proper view of the sunrise/sunset due to the layout of my island. I also tried to ring in the new year with a tiny perfect snowboy but got yet another almost perfect one instead. Oh well

Also saw aurora in ACNH for the first time! I was just happen to be flattening my island so I got a clear view.
 
I moved the museum from the north part of the island on the highest cliff where it had been for over two years since I unlocked terraforming near launch. Its new location is not too far from my player house. I fenced it in like the houses.

Where the museum was, I knocked down the incline and on the highest cliff where the museum was, I'm planting lily of the valley plants so that it blankets the entire ground. I'm about halfway there. Too bad the ground nearby is too barren just a two square-wide road leading to a bridge. It's one of the reasons why I moved the museum because I was struggling for a theme to occupy the spot it does now. For months I had the spooky furniture with the spooky fence surrounding it, then I had the stone fence surrounding the glowing moss stuff. I just ended up moving a bare area that I don't know what to do with but at least it being in the north with nothing really around, it's not noticeable as it would have been if the bare area had been closer to the main part of the island.
