So, I dug up a fossil this morning that I already had and after talking to Patty for ages until she mentioned she wanted one, I whipped it out and gave it to her.

She rewarded me with …a rare item? Nope! …a ton of cash? Nope! a rubbish 500 bells? Yes! Even Nook would give me more than that, I reckon. (If he wasn’t shut today.)

You know, I’ve been thinking about why Animal Crossing has the hold on otherwise relatively normal people and what makes two thirty-something men plan to meet up online to return a kitten to her lost mother… but I’m having real trouble finding an answer. If I do, I’ll let you know.

And talking of runaway kittens, Kaitlin’s back in town. Her kitten is in Sausages, apparently, so it looks like I’ll have to make more plans for a reunion. And it’s the kitten-end of things that gets the thank you, not me. I just get the mother out of my town for a while, which I suppose is a blessing in itself.
