June 3rd
Today I had made up my mind to completely pay off my second home loan today. I was about 48000 bell short, with only about 10000 bell in my pocket. I decided the fastest way to make up the difference was through ocean fishing. Ocean fishing you ask? Yes, there are two species of ocean fish that are worth a lot of bell each. The “Red Snapper” as I like to call it worth 3000 bell and the “Zerba” worth 5000 bell.
Now, fishing on the ocean is a little tricky. Normally the fish swim close enough to the beach that any fast or loud movement will force them to retreat to the ocean floor. Another problem is that since there is a stream running out to sea, you can’t walk the entire beach without having to move around the stream… ugh!
Anyway, I was able to quickly catch enough “money” fish to pay off the rest of my loan! I was quite happy being debt free again! Nothing feels better than not owing a soul… just wish that was the case in erm… “real” life
Later that day I visited Tanuki’s store and he asked me if I’d like to have my house upgraded and painted. Not thinking clearly, I said yes, please upgrade my house and please paint it red. Not completely realizing what I had just done, I left the store with less than 800 bell to my name.
June 4th
Rain started to fall again today… it’s June in the forest… why is it raining so much still?! Bah, just means I need to tote around my umbrella so I don’t catch cold.
Much to my surprise I appeared to have left a LARGER house today! Oh my! The outside of my house is now really starting to appear more non-square like. The roof is in two sections and there is now an overhang covering my head from the rain at the front door! Inside there isn’t anything unique yet, just more room for stuff! Not really thinking about how much this new beauty would cost me, I headed off to read my mail and run some errands.
I received my dialy dose of three fossils, all of which I have already donated. I also received my dialy Hyper Room Academy (HRA) mail. To my surprise my rating had jumped up to 8339! Alright!
I glanced over at my pocket book and saw the sad site, 718 bell… ouch! Well, guess I should sell those fossils and that terrible fish platter that the Mayor gave me sometime ago. Why was I still hauling that ugly and smelly thing around?!
Tanuki was unusually happy to see me. Hmm… strange. What you cooking Tanuki? Ah yes, my new home, it’s great! I love the red roof, what’s that you say? I owe you some bell for that? Sure, not a problem, I should have that paid off in… what?!? 398000 bell?! Are you kidding me? *falls down* After I awoke, Tanuki informed me that I could pay the Post Office weekly as usual. Uh, right… I’ll get right on that, boss. Shaken, but not stirred, I sold my fossils and extra items which netted me about 6000 bell. Yeah… still poor Determined not to let my new loan get me down, I purchased a new bonsai plant that Tanuki had in stock for the first time. I was had for 1500 bell… maybe this will boost my HRA rating, they seemed to really like my first bonsai plant. Plus I just wanted to get another lottery ticket for the end of the month drawing. So far I’ve got three… I’d like to have 30 by the end of June which would equal 6 chances to play. (Dreams of NES carts)
Leaving the store with empty pockets and a broken ego, I headed off to the dump to collect everyone’s trash. Uh… garbage man? Do you not work on rainy days? There were 5 pieces of trash mixed with the normal items today… Man, Leia must be busy fishing out boots and cans…. LOL! Anyway, I netted an ugly outfit and more writing paper.
You can never have enough writing paper I always say. No really… uh huh. 398k… Hopefully I can win a spot on the AF Millionaire show
