God, the post-rain flowers that grow are ridiculous.
Couldn't find half the fossils today, no new DIYs. customized a ton of stuff. GREAT day for Able Sisters though! I wish that once you catalog a Nook Miles redemption item, you could just order it. I want to order a bunch of green streetlights. I cannot.
But, for today's cataloging updates:
51% to 53% for Total clothing
55% to 56% Tops
51% to 53% Bottoms
34% to 36% Headwear
29% to 32% Socks
Dress-Up, Accessories, Shoes, Bags, Umbrellas stayed the same.
Absolutely amazed at how much stuff I got today. Finally around 56% of furniture too. I thought clothing would catch up by now.
My Kapp'n boat tour today got me to Acorn Island. Got a Pike, which I needed. Got the Deep Dive achievement.
I was running up the eastern staircase, through the stone arch, when I had to double back because I saw something that was part-white (which blended with the grey) and part-green (which blended with the grass).
I FINALLY GOT PERFECT-TOWN STATUS. There's not like, an over-development penalty like in previous games where you could have too many trees, right?
Went from 56% to 57% Tops and 37% to 38% Dress-Up today.
Fell WAAAAAY behind on posting, sorry for the length
6/21
• (Please Note: Today, my power was out.)
• Isabelle mentioned that Label was here today; I passed her Work-themed fashion challenge with flying colors and received a Labelle cap in thanks.
• Dug up a Jingloid and a Boomoid that popped up from yesterday's rain.
• Visited Buck at his house; he promptly complimented me on my custom design (the hoodie he was wearing), which admittedly felt nice.
• Found a lost bag outside the picnic area. After taking a look at it, I managed to bring it to its rightful owner on the first try: It belonged to plucky
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
6/22
• Isabelle mentioned that Flick was on the island today; I waved hello.
• Chatted with everyone I ran into; visited Buck at his house, who was busy pouring through a fitness magazine.
• Later, Buck mentioned that Rex left something at his house after his last visit, and he asked if I could return it for him. However, Rex decided to just let me keep it; it was a pair of full body tights, and I'm almost too concerned to ask...
• Caught a scorpion that was lurking around in Kitty's yard. Still surprised I didn't get stung, since I was a bit slow in getting my net out; maybe I got saved by Kitty's fence being in the way?
• Vsited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Got to order with pigeon milk today!

<Day lost due to a family visit and losing track of time...again. I completely spaced...>
6/24
Record Not Available
<Day lost due to long IRL events, being exhausted afterwards, and getting home late. Could've TT'd to fix it, since I missed the Bug-Off and all, but I really don't like doing that...>
6/25 (short day)
• Isabelle happily announced that Slider was back in town; later in the day, I attended the show, and he played K.K. Love Song.
• Today's HHA S-rank puts us at 231,613 points, the same as last week.
• Found Gayle standing immediately outside my front door, doing reps with a little weight. Not sure why she decided to do it in my yard, let alone in front of my door, but I guess it meant she was waiting for me.
• Immediately afterwards, I ran into Buck (on walkabout, gathering up sticks), and then right after that I ran into Rhonda, all within at least 30 seconds of each other. Small island.
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Got to order with pigeon milk today, and also got to see Timmy drop by!
6/26 (late day, very short day, raining)
• Found a gyroid fragment on the beach!
• Chatted with everyone I ran into; found Buck out for a stroll in the rain.
• Ended up going on a treasure hunt with Rex due to mindless button mashing. At the very least, I found it fairly quickly (took about a minute and twelve seconds). It turned out to be a maxi short dress.
6/27
• Isabelle mentioned that C.J. was visiting today; despite walking all over the island, I never ran into him once...
• Dug up the gyroid fragment from yesterday; retrieved an Oinkoid! Also dug up a Jingloid and a Whistloid that popped up from yesterday's rain.
• Buck carne to me with s question; apparently, Mathilda didn't like Buck's catchphrase, which he'd actually picked up from Gayle. That aside, since he asked, I helped him come up with a new one.
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
• Deposited a lot of bells into savings.
• Decided to order a couple of things with Miles and bells. Not quite sure yet what I'll do with them, but I'll think of something.
• Had an idea to redo my villagers' yards once construction is underway; already have an idea on making a deck for Gayle after eyeballing a pink Moroccan sofa...
Isabelle will complain if you have what she considers to be "too many trees"; she'll insist that other villagers keep getting lost in them at night and fear for their lives (I had this happen multiple times, which was absurd if you ask me).
Two of the past three days ended up with short entries, so I just decided to post them all together. Though admittedly, it was partly due to my own laziness...
6/28 (short day; family emergency)
• Isabelle mentioned that Celeste was here today; after running into her, she handed me a cancer star fragment, and I got to ask her about the constellation.
• Found Gullivarrr washed up on shore. The communicator actually happened to be very close to the shore he ended up on, I was just blind and didn't realize it until after I'd passed by it the first time (I initially thought it was another Acorn barnacle)
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
6/29 (raining, another short day)
• Isabelle mentioned that Kicks was in town today, so I made sure to pay the esteemed skunk a visit.
• Received a blue Sea Captain's coat in the mail from Gullivarrr.
• Rhonda was thinking of moving away, but I was thankfully able to change her mind (phew!). I chatted with her for a bit afterwards to reassure her.
• Found a gyroid fragment on the beach!
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Got got to order with pigeon milk today!
6/30
• Isabelle mentioned that Flick was here today; I stopped by to say hi, and ended up selling him an emperor butterfly I'd caught along the way.
• Dug up the gyroid fragment from yesterday; retrieved a Rattloid! Also dug up a Flutteroid and a Bwongoid that popped up from yesterday's rain.
• Was randomly gifted a wrestling singlet from Rex.
• Chatted with everyone I ran into; found Buck doing exercises in the plaza.
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster
• Finally started brainstorming ideas for the future Boardwalk design; I opened up the room sketch app and proceeded to spend at least an hour making different scenes to see what they might look like, using multiple references both from other designers and real life influences, and I'm going to see how it turns out.
• Decided to start ordering some of the things I might need for the boardwalk.
• Began chopping wood for all the new stalls and other items I'm going to need. Made some money by selling all of the fruit I ended up with.
• Was randomly gifted a polo shirt from Rhonda.
• Discovered that Rex had fleas; he had to have picked them up some time between then and when he'd given ne the wrestling singlet. Took care of it for him, to which he seemed grateful.
• Visited Harv's Island to customize some items with Reese and Cyrus (I did not attend the final wedding photo shoot). Checked in with Kicks and Saharah, and managed to pull a rainbow soft serve from Red's Raffle.
I have decimated the ecology of a small island but.
Got an Arowana and Goliath beetle. AND A GREAT WHITE SHARK. And a Blue Weevil Beetle, and the Tiger Prawn, and a Rainbow Stag, and Horned Dynastid and a Cyclommatus Stag, and a Horned Elephant and a Cicada Shell AND FINALLY THE ****ING GAR. GOD I HATE POND FISH. Also a Horned Atlas.
Did some minor decorating in the front yards of Katt, Punchy, Jacques and Audie on Parkwood. Nothing major, just trying to match flowers with their appearances somewhat. I'm not very good at decorating with flowers, so we'll see how long I'll like what I have going for.
Their houses are located in the downtown canal part of the island, since I think those villagers are more city-like compared to the other residents (except Olivia, but I couldn't fit her house with the others so she'll have to be situated elsewhere). The other villagers will most likely be in the country part of the island.
Got a Giant Isopod today. Got Mermaid Vanity DIY. Got lucky and maxed-out a Labelle fashion check today with Fairy Tale theme.
Got Wall from 62% to 63%, and Floor from 65% to 66%.
Did my big round of customization. Got Gyroids from 40% to 45%. Wall-mounted from 53% to 54%, Ceiling Decor from 90% to 91%.
I somehow went back down to a 4-star rating. I haven't removed any furniture except the ROTTEN TURNIPS I WAS USING TO FARM FLIES AND ANTS. Really annoying, but whatever, I got the Lily of the Valley plant and the Golden Watering Can DIY and that's all I care about.
Got fashion total from 56% to 57%, tops from 61% to 62%, bottoms from 56% to 58%, dress-up from 39% to 40%, headwear from 40% to 41%, socks from 40% to 44%, shoes from 80% to 81%.
Planted 6 cherry trees (my starting fruit was apples, hence the name of my island — Applewood)
A new neighbor finally moved in — Simon! He is precious and must be protected at all costs 
Got over 1,000 Bells for selling a horned dynastid to Nook’s Cranny. Who would’ve guessed that they’d be that valuable?
