I had a hair appointment scheduled for this Friday, so I decided to take a few days off work to spend time with my parents. The hair salon I go to is back at home, so I have to drive an hour and a half to get there. Driving for a total of three hours just for a hair appointment seems wasteful, so I got the most of my visit by spending a few days down in Iowa. It’s also Tulip Festival weekend, so carnival rides, food stands, and craft vendors were all outside. My best friend and I were going to together but she had a last minute problem come up, so I enjoyed everything by myself.
My mom and I went down to Omaha on Thursday because she took the day off work, so we went on a shopping trip. I definitely didn’t need to spend the money because I went shopping the week before, but it doesn’t matter because I’ll make it back eventually. My hair appointment the next day was a little over $100, so I made a significant dent in my bank account in 2 days.
My Animal Crossing town progression has slowed down. My hours basically doubled this summer, so I haven’t had as much time to play. I also recently moved apartments, so all of my days off last week were spent packing my things and moving them a few hundred feet across the hallway (I’m living on campus for the summer, and I moved a few doors down).
While my town was left unattended, my flower garden became overgrown and a shoe store opened up. Once I started playing again, I discovered that I had one million bells (Animal Crossing currency) saved in my bank account. To get my town up and running again, I’ve started to do some landscaping and start fundraising for a police station. I don’t know what the police station will add to my town, but it’ll make my approval score higher.
I’ve also started to design my own flower guide for the game. It’s still a work in progress, but once it’s done it’ll definitely be posted!
