Still missing a number of things I want to use for decorations so I've been mostly just running chores each day and hoping to get that DIY recipe or find my coveted furniture in the shops. This state I've reached is kinda demotivating me to pick up this game. I think I need to just once again buck up and start the decorating projects even when they are going to be incomplete.

I have quite a number of items that are on my wishlist, and I'm just hoping that they sell them one day in the shops or the DIY recipe falls from the sky.

Wanted to play a farming sim but missed the discounts for the story of seasons games so I went back to this. I haven't played the DLC content yet anyway, and I was surprised to discover that there is considerable gameplay there. There's so much to do and I don't know if I can finish it all.

Redesigning and trying to finish decorating my island as well. The fruit forest, Asian restaurant, Keukenhof, and residential zones are going to be replaced with multiple orchards, a community garden, scattered houses with bigger yard space, and other things I haven't decided on yet.

It's fun to be back, and I hope I get familiar again with who the other villagers are.

Here's the daily New Horizons pic. Since I'll likely never visit an aquarium irl again, it's nice to have that in this game at least.
