What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

I finally decided to give in again to the terraforming. Was giving myself the challenge of not doing so (plus I kinda went overboard in my last town before my old Switch crashed), but kept *kinda* quitting because my layout didn’t make it easy for the things I have in mind. Turns out I wasn’t enjoying myself, and finally starting to give my “new” town a needed facelift for the first time since starting it in late 2022 lol.

Since work takes up most of my time and energy, this’ll take a very long while, I’m accepting. But happy to have it that way, since it’ll occupy me til we get any sort of news for the next game.

I was moving some houses around and I think I finally have all house locations figured out now. 😊 My other file/island resident and one other villager (rip Raymond) were secluded on the beach for a long time, so it's nice to have that figured out. I also decorated some cliffs on my island. That may not seem like much, but I have a lot fair amount of decorative cliffs that I've been meaning to add to, but I've been so lazy about doing anything lol. I also went on my other file that I don't often play because today is her birthday, and I was curious to see who would host her birthday party! It ended up being Raymond which was a little unfortunate since I plan to kick him out. 😅 This file doesn't really have much progression so I was also buying some clothes at Ables to give her a proper outfit. It doesn't seem like much but little things like that really help piece my island together and make it feel more complete. ^^
 
I got a new villager -Norma! I sometimes spend forever trying to find a new villager on the islands. I've left it to fate in the past, because I wasn't happy with the villagers I ran into on the islands.

I was thinking of using the amiibo card and inviting Chai, but - I put my cards in a safe place and have no idea where they are now. Pfft.

So I went island hopping, and on the 2nd island, there was Norma. Pink asthetics (love!) and normal personality, perfect! Goodbye Francine, hello Norma!

I DID IT I GOT ANOTHER PERFECT SNOWBOY THANKS TO THE @Mountain_Elements METHOD.

Thanks, but I don't deserve the credit. :D Credit goes to whoever first discovered it and to the author of the article that publicized it. I'm amazed that it's not more popular though. Counting seconds is a lot easier for me than trying to stand in just the right place to measure a snowball to just the right size.

I got the 3000 Nook Miles for Miles achievement today! The 1000 task stamp I got in August 2020 which really nicely illustrates how much my playing has slowed down since then but better late than never! I also made it above 125k Nook Miles today.

I finally decided to cook a bunch of recipes! I just reached the achievement for cooking 100 things if I read it correctly (was kinda speeding through my tasks today but I swear that's what it said lol). I find diys and cooking tedious tbh, so I've put off that stuff for the most part unless I know they're items I need to use for a build or decoration. I didn't go out of my way to cook every recipe I had, but I did a good chunk which I'm proud of. 🥹 I also finally planted a few more crops because I needed more pumpkins and I think I just got the achievement for planting 20 produce. Seems like so little, but I think I got most of my produce plants from islands or trades, so I've really had no reason to plant anymore. My island doesn't have a farm or crop area so the few crops I have are limited to my villagers yards. 😅 I also cleaned up my beaches today, as they had a bunch of items scattered all over the place and I was getting tired of it + it was hard to remember and keep track of all the items I owned.

-Talked to the rest of my villagers
-Gave Punchy some wrapped fruits and he gave me an athletic outfit in return
