What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

Yesterday in Valencia:
The last few plots autofilled!
Marshal moved in! I welcomed him to his permanent island.
Yuka also moved in. I talked to her.
Harry moved in as well.
Speaking of Harry, he gave me a drying rack for decoration purposes.
I unlocked Reactions!
I customized my town flag and tune.
 
I really gotta stop falling behind like this...



2/1
• Isabelle gave us advice on what to do should we find someone passed out on the beach; Gullivarrr had washed ashore again. Luckily, it didn't take very long to find the missing phone.
• Recieved a three-tiered snowperson in the mail from yesterday's snowman.
• Delivered the gifts and checked in with everyone 👍
• Pietro was thinking about moving away...and after a while, I gave him my best wishes. It was odd how I didn't feel too bad about letting him go, but I still hope he'll go somewhere nice.
• Discovered that Plucky was stuck, so I swung by Nook's Cranny to get her some medicine (I gave her her present after she started feeling a bit better).
• Noticed that Carnivale items were starting to appear on the store shelves... I should probably start decorating soon.
• Had to undo a Dung Beetle's hard work first, as the snowball in question was massive by the time I got to it, but I made another perfect snowman 👍 also got three large snowflakes from the others ❄❄❄
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.

2/2 (Pietro's Last Day...)
• Isabelle made the offical announcement for Pietro's Move.
• Recieved a frozen sculpture in the mail from yesterday's snowman, along with a Pirate-treasure Robe from Gullivarrr.
• Found a lousy journal near Gayle's house. Funnily enough, the first person I asked about it turned out to be its owner; Rhonda was happy to have it back!
• Visited Pietro one last time and wished him well. I also tidied up the yard, putting the extra furniture back into storage.
• Made another perfect snowman, recieved three large snowflakes from the others ❄❄❄
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Got to order with pigeon milk today!
• At the end of the day (which was actually past midnight), I headed off to Harv's island, invited Pietro to Photopia, and did a farewell photoshoot. It took a little while to get him at an angle that looked good, and I ended up fighting with my storage for screenshot space (which was when I realized I had WAY too many just sitting around unused, and I had to go on a small deleting spree), but I eventually got a good picture 👍

2/3
• Isabelle mentioned that C.J. was visiting today; although I didn't participate in his fishing challenge, I did bring him three tuna for a collectible. I'm now officially out of specimens to give him for collectibles...at least, until the fish I'm still missing are back in season.
• Recieved some embroidery in the mail from ingame Mom (IRL Mom shares her sentiment about it being too darn cold 😆 ), along with some ice flooring from yesterday's snowman.
• Found a gyroid fragment on the beach!
• Made another perfect snowman, recieved three large snowflakes from the others ❄❄❄
• Helped Pekoe resolve an argument with Patty by acting as the delivery girl; Patty was actually thrilled with Pekoe's choice of an apology gift, which was a reaction I don't usually see. They smoothed things over quick.
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
• Ended up having Francine over at my house for a short visit, won a rocket lamp off of her in a card game.
• Redeemed some Miles for 10 NMTs in preparation to island hop for our new resident.
• Visited Harv's Island and customized some items with Reese and Cyrus. Also visited Saharah and Kicks while I was there.
• Deposited a lot of bells into savings.
• Began island hopping...but ended up only doing it once. I found Buck the Horse, and since he'd been one of my neighbors in New Leaf (heh, "neigh"bor), I ended up immediately offering him an invitation. He'll be moving in tomorrow!
 
Got my reports done earlier today, seeing as I didn't yesterday.

• Sent a letter to Buck along with a housewarming gift (I sent him a quilted-jacket, as I didn't know if he'd prepared for winter or not). I hope he likes it.

Not today, but a few days ago, as usual at the beginning of the month, I gave each islander a new door wreath. This month it is the shell wreath. As usual, also, they all put them on their doors! :D

February 7th

I started off by digging up 1,000 bells from the daily glowing spot. I then went around and talked to all of my villagers, catching up on their latest news and gossip.

Next, I gathered materials from all the trees and rocks, making sure to collect as much as I could. I also completed a couple of Nook miles+ achievements.

Later in the day, I stopped by able sisters and Nook Cranny to see what they had for sale. I bought a couple of clothes at Able Sisters and bought all the furniture at Nooks.

While diving in the ocean for scallops, I spotted Pascal and was able to trade with him. I also spent some time picking up all the shells on the beach and found a giant clam. I found and dug up the daily fossils, adding to my collection.

In the afternoon, I participated in a group stretching session and checked the recycling bin at Resident Services. I also
claimed the 300 bonus Nook Miles from the Nook Stop terminal. To finish off my day, I bought 5 items from Nook Shopping.
.
 
Got 7/10 cats on my island. Katt just moved in. Hamlet asked to move so I'm currently trying to re-home him so I can go cat hunting again. Still got about 300 tickets to search for the next one. Katt took 257 tickets to find. 😵‍💫
 
2/8
• Isabelle mentioned that C.J. was in town today...but seeing as I had no fish for him, I did not seek him out...
• Recieved two tailor's tickets in the mail from Label, along with a frozen bed from yesterday's snowman.
• Chatted with Buck (out for a stroll).
• Dug up the gyroid fragment from yesterday; retrieved a Babbloid!
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
• Made another perfect snowman, recieved large snowflakes from two of the others ❄❄
• Decided to dig up clams for fish bait.
• Tried to catch Stringfish specimens for C.J. ... All I managed to catch after 30+ tries were loads of black bass 😤
 
2/9
• Isabelle warned us of the risks involved with buying art from shady sources; Redd was back in town. Unfortunately, I already had each of the art pieces on display, so I bought some furniture to keep him happy.
• Recieved a frozen pillar in the mail from yesterday's snowman.
• Chatted with Buck (making an orange pie).
• Made another perfect snowman, recieved three large snowflakes from the others ❄❄❄
• Ended up going with Rex to his house to hang out for a bit. He gave me a copy of Wandering.

I'm now one step closer to crafting every DIY at least once!

omg GOALS! I try to keep up with this but a lot of the flower-based ones trip me up 🥲 But slowly but surely working on it, and good luck to you with completing that goal!

I've not played yet today but yesterday I managed to finish clearing out everything on ground-level on the western side of my island so I could really commit to getting Boyd's farm mapped out. I kept getting stuck with it before because it was never enough space, and I had the realization last night that where I've got him placed, I don't need to use for anything else. So I made his usable space for the farm a good 3-4 times larger than it was. It also helped to realize that I don't have to make a path connecting all the way around my island. I can just let his farm be off to the side and "off the beaten path" so to speak.

I thiiiiiink I'm happy with where everything is placed for his crops. I struggled with the wheat, but I hav a couple ideas for where it could go if it looks off once it's fully grown in. Oh! I also gave Boyd an orchard on part of his farmland. I've never planted one in this game before but there was a bit of space that looked really awkward until I realized it could perfectly fit two rows of fruit trees. I am very excited to see how those look fully grown. I believe by the end of the weekend they will be done? Or like Monday at the latest (I always forget exactly how many days haha).

I can't wait to get home and play today. I've decided to have a really full forest between Boyd's farm and the beach to the south, so I'll get to snag a bunch of trees from a Nook Miles or Kapp'n trip and plant those. That will really help things come together!

Now to just spend the next week and a half order 5 wheat fields a day so I can fill the other part of his farmland... 😵
