Pokémon Mansion Journals (currently: ACHIEVEMENT: GOT HOUSE)

HOUSE LOAN HOUSE LOAN YAY

ALSO FACTOR V POSITIVE FUCK (basically knew this one bc my whole family has it but still)

 

I forgot I could name myself Typhlosion on Hisui island. Like, duh! I might reset again anyway because I’m not too fond of the jock starter villager I got, but Cherry came back and she’s my favorite!

 

I did in fact restart again, and got Quinn and Teddy. Both acceptable villagers imo. Quinn is very pretty in game that I didn’t get from her amiibo picture and Teddy just looks soft.

My island is wide enough in the starting area I could put the homes side by side too, so I’m already a leg up in the terraforming issue.

Hope my smug villager is random gen’d to someone not terrible. I’d have to hit him with a net if he is.

 

Under contract for a house that we got undervalue for the neighborhood. Seller is leaving us some nice furniture as well.

it is almost 2,000sqft of living space! On a 6,000+sqft lot! I’m gonna have chickens! :)

 

Haven’t updated in a bit, mostly been stressed about the home/work is kind of stupid and adding to the stress.

I looked it up and basically informed myself that I already paid too much in taxes so I updated my W-4 to withhold federal tax. Probably a nice chunk of money going back to me per paycheck maybe?

 

Assuming nothing goes wrong: house on the 26th. I’ll hear back hopefully this week about what’s Basically a promotion (to me).

marriage next year

still in crossed animals heck. With villagers I kind of like? Still waiting on my smug villager, I hope I don’t hate him!

 

Been a whole mess of a month for various reasons but the end result is we have the house!

It is, very unfortunately for us because of work, absolutely filthy. Like the old owners hadn’t cleaned in a year. It’s all maintenance, nothing extremely bad except the radon mitigation we need to pay for, but that’s easily fixed with some nice connections and a mother in law who is paying attention to her son now that he has a chance of giving her a grandkid (lol).

Found out my coworker is my next door neighbor. I said, “so it’s you I have to steal the pears from,” and she, while gesturing to the very heavily fruiting (but neglected) tree, said “it’s dead because I have two chaotic kids and don’t have time to care for it.” I’m going to prove her wrong and make her pear butter from that tree.

My poor fiancé spent four hours only vacuuming. And we have to vacuum again today (after work because I took a Saturday shift to help the clinic). And then a rug doctor. And then maybe vacuuming some more. Then there’s the wood that needs to be oiled and dusted and the laminate kitchen floor is yellow from age and I have to figure out costs for a chimney sweep because we also have a fireplace and it’s soon winter and…

It’s my home.

 

No less than 6 hours (collectively) of vacuuming and I’m still pulling up dirt from the carpets. These people never actually cleaned. Like clean cleaned. Sure there’s less dust than if they didn’t clean at all (on counters) but there’s actual stain tracks from where they walked where their couch was to the kitchen and on the side where the beds would have been. The rug doctor we rented has been pulling up gunk too.

I wish I could afford a Sebo E3 vacuum, because that’s supposed to be amazing with combination pet and allergy and carpeting. I can at best get a K turbo which addresses similarly to carpet but isn’t as great with allergens like dander and pollen.

 

Why did I get jumpscared by an identical hospital bill for a service that came before the service bill I paid off already? Why is that, hospital? Why did you sent a bill for the 20th of January a few days ago, after you sent and had me pay off a 27th of January bill back in September?

explain???
