I cannot play video games when I am sick. For most people, that is the optimal time to do so. However, I just cannot pay attention and all I want to do is curl up and sleep after staring at the screen for a few minutes. So, other than one or two days this week, there wasn’t a lot happening on my Animal Crossing: New Horizons island.
And that’s truly okay. This game is designed so that even if you have a few minutes to play each day, you can still accomplish great things when you finally get around to it!
(I’m still exhausted even when writing this, so I am going to wrap it up and go to bed.)
If you missed last week’s Tom Nook’s Snapshots, you can check it out here.

My day was so busy that all I did in Animal Crossing: New Horizons was go through and delete old mail. I really, really wish that 300 was not a firm mail limit, as there seems to be space for much, much more mail.
It is fun to see some of the notes my islanders write me, though!

I never knew Camofrog and Hazel were so lonely in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I ran into him in the plaza today, and he told me about how I don’t need to have a reason to talk with him. I then found Hazel, and she invited me over to her home to try out some spice cake she is working on a recipe for. I am trying to talk to everyone whenever I see them, but I would like some spice cake…
Other than that, I finally started to do something with the mushrooms I keep picking up. I used my tree branches, round mushrooms, skinny mushrooms, and flat mushrooms to make a mushroom wreath! It definitely looks like fall, in my opinion.
I then spent way too much time trying to figure out how to remove the current door decor and add the mushroom wreath instead!

I definitely was feeling sick today, and so I did not do a ton in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
I stopped by Nook’s Cranny and went shopping. I then stopped by Brewster’s Cafe and I got another cup of coffee. He charged me 200 Bells for it, and he asked me if I want pigeon milk in it. I, of course, said yes! Brewster poured me the coffee, handed it over to me, and I drank it down while it was piping hot.
I found that the coffee, with the pigeon milk, was mild, but with plenty of full-bodied flavor!

It is Saturday night, and that means K.K. Slider is in town once again! Today, he decided to play K.K. Break for me and Lulu. There is a lot of funk and soul to this song, and it is crazy to me how K.K. can, well, slide between so many different genres so effortlessly. I liked it a lot!
Afterwards, I walked around my island and shook down a money tree to put a few more Bells in my pocket.

Another day, another visitor to my campsite! Today, it was a masked monkey named Simon who told me he was just trying to meet good food. I really didn’t care for him all that much, and so I left him quickly before he could start trying to draw me into a card game.
I actually spent almost my entire time playing tonight clearing out the northern area even further of flowers. I cleared past the northern lake and down to the river. I went through one shovel and then made a lot of progress on wrecking my second shovel by the time I was done. When you look at the demarcation line set up from the first time I cleared flowers to now, it really feels like I made some progress on trying to weed the area.
I just still don’t know what I am going to put there. There were shooting stars also that night in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and so I made a wish that a revelation would come to me soon as well.

Isabelle started my day off during her announcements that she has given me a recipe for a red-leaf pile! I am not quite sure what I will do with that, but it was good to have.
Outside of Nook’s Cranny, I picked up a lost item. I tried to return it to Goose, but he told me it looked like something Cephalobot would have. I then went hunting for him, and I returned the lost item to him. He then gave me a quilted jacket for my troubles. (Although, it really wasn’t that much trouble to begin with.)
Other than that, I dug up yet another rare mushroom and more fossils! All of which my museum already had, and so I sold them off to Nook’s Cranny for yet more bells.

Hugh talked about him having coffee and now he is wide awake. He called it “brain juice.”
Other than that, I ran into Flick yet again. I ran around catching butterflies, was able to sell him them for a small amount of Bells. And by ‘small’ I mean he paid me 210 Bells for a monarch butterfly.
It was not a lot that I did today to finish out my week, honestly, but it was fun just catching things and selling them off for a small amount of Bells each time!
