    Day 22: After chores I brought a bunch of geodes to the blacksmith to get them busted up. I also brought some copper bars and left my pickaxe to get upgraded. I've apparently got to leave that with him for a couple of days.

    It was harvesting day. Picked a bunch of stuff and earned 4764g, which is my biggest payday so far. Mostly from the potatoes, foraging foods aren't worth all that much.

    While I was just running around exploring I got a cutscene of the kids hanging out by the sewer. Jas said she thinks Gunther has the key to get in. There's a strange noise coming from inside. I'm intrigued to get in there and explore.

    After I went to sleep apparently my fields were visited by a fairy or something. Don't know what this does but I hope it's not something for crops because I just picked most of them.

    Day 23: Current!
    Ok, so apparently there's a flower dance tomorrow. What I've learned about events is that they're going to eat up your whole day, so I'm not making any plans for tomorrow.

    Gave some gifts to Abigail and Leah. Bought 30 parsnips in hopes of getting another payday before the end of the season. Noticed the ladies working out at the general store.

    Planted those. Decided to explore my crafting options. Made a recycling machine which has made getting garbage from fishing something to actually get excited about. I kind of want to make a ton of recycling machines now.

    Tapped two trees. Hoping to get syrup because apparently that's needed for a bee house. Smelted down all my copper. Got torches out of my recycling machine, among other things. I may have been not paying attention properly but I think I got some iron ore from it. I'll need to experiment some more.

    Used the rest of my energy chopping down some trees. I think I'll be talking to Robin about upgrades soon.

    I feel like I've hit the point in the game where it's starting to get its hooks into me. I'm starting to see how the different systems play into each other and I'm excited to play around with things.

    Day 24: So, before the flower festival I figured I'd try and go pick up my pickaze from Clint, but turns out the shop was closed.

    I didn't want to waste my whole day on just the flower festival, so I tried walking around and talking to people and catching a few fish.

    Helped Sam figure out what his next song should be about (A city in the sea), and headed off to the festival.

    Went around, talked to everyone before realizing that talking to some people twice would give you the opportunity to ask them to dance.

    Also, Jodi... why are you such an ass?

    I then sat in bed, staring at my screen for like 15 minutes agonizing about who I wanted to ask to dance and how that'd improve our relationship. I surprised myself and chose Leah first... only to discover that you can only dance if your relationship is already good, and everyone will just say no.

    I bought something called a rarecrow because the game told me to collect them all.

    I watched people dance, recycled a few things, and went to bed.

    Day 25: First thing in the morning I got a notice telling me I could pick up my pickaxe, so I guess that means the game will tell me when it's time to go pick up my tools.

    Went to see Clint. Got my pickaxe and dropped off my regular, non pick variety wood chopping axe.

    Did a little fishing, noticed the hat mouse had a new hat, and while I'm not a fan of the style, I had to go full Team Fortress and collect all of the hats.

    Went over to the general store later in the day which automatically tossed me in Abigail's room as if I had snuck in. She was having a hard time with her game, so she invited me to play some two player.

    That was actually pretty neat. Recycled a thing and went to bed.

    Day 26: Ok. Been away from the game for a while so I spent a lot of this day getting my bearings straight again.

    Woke up. Watered my plants. Decided that I wanted to build another recycling machine. Figured it'd be a small task. I knew I had a ton of wood and stone. I figured getting a single iron bar wouldn't be a big deal...

    I only had 3 iron ore, and it takes 5 to make the bar I needed, so, I set out to the mine to find me some iron ore.

    I jumped around from floors 10 to 27 and found everything except iron. Rubber boots, all sorts of gems, geodes, mushrooms, crabs, cave vegetables, a couple of clubs, tons of bug meat. I don't remember running into larvae before, but I found a lot of them and kind of felt terrible about killing them. I'm going to have so much bait for fishing.

    Ultimately, in the end I didn't find any. I went home, made a new chest to hold all of the assorted things I had gathered. I kind of hate where it is, and I hope there's a way to move chests without removing the items inside because I'm going to need to re-organize things.

    Side note: I forgot I had tapped some trees, and as such, completely forgot to check on them. Whoops.
