What I’m Reading

Huyen Hac Helen Tran

27 May 2024

I need 300 wood.

I had so much wood in the first year and now it’s Year Three and I want another big barn, but I’ve got to water all my crops every day and I want to get to the bottom of the skull cavern. I also keep forgetting all the women have an exercise class on Tuesdays, so I can’t go see Robin OR Marnie, so now I need to quickly ride my horse back to my farm, get all my fishing gear, figure out which food gives me extra luck, and try and up that skill. I am so busy!!!
