This sweet wonderful boy is Zipper. He has a stuffed duck he likes to carry around everywhere. He doesn’t like storms. He’s my mom’s eight year old chihuahua mix. It’s funny my mom has never been a dog person. She never wanted one of her own. Until she met Zipper eight years ago. He sleeps in her bed(I never thought I’d see that happen in my life), she shares her food with him (only the dog safe), he’s my mom’s baby and means a lot to her.

last Monday my sister noticed something was wrong with his mouth. They took him to the vet and he’s now on pain medicine and antibiotics but he needs tooth removal. Which vet said is 150 bucks. Which is hard for us right now. The first vet visit was 120 bucks which wiped out what we had left for the month pretty much. I don’t understand why life can’t catch us a break. I’m stressed out and scared and I don’t know what to do. I just want to curl up into a ball and cry.

So the Florma I created is very special to me and a sim idea I am super proud of. That being said I want to share 5 Florma with other simmers. I have already given a Lavnder Florma do a friend I trust. And I have four more I'd like to adopt out to simmers who would like to use them in a story or their legacy. This is the only batch I am making for others. Just message me if you want one and which one.

Wisteria- He's very smart and has a strong sense of devotion. Being a Wisteria Florma he can increase the knowledge of others as well as instill devotion to a cause. He's resilient and refuses to give up. He loves to read and write. He's always trying to learn something new. He's not opposed to settling down, but it's also not his main goal.

Red Tulip- He left the garden not long after being born. He wanted to explore the world, He is full of passion and lust(feelings he can cause others to feel as a red tulip florma) and has partaken in many a one night stand. He's always up front with others about his intentions and never purses anyone not interested. But maybe someday he will meet a man or can cause him to want to plant roots and settle down? He also loves music and art.

Petunia- She loves to help others. Being a Petunia florma she has the ability to fill others with hope. She was eager to leave the garden after she was born as she wants to help others. She loves animals and helping them is a passion of hers.

Poppy- She is a gentle being who stives for finding a peaceful solution to any problem. Being a Poppy florma she is able to feel others with a sense of peace. She hates conflict and loud noises. Poppy was hesitant to leave the garden, but eventually she decided she wanted to see the world. She loves to paint.

We have a clinic!

Victor: Here we are, family! Home sweet home for the next year.

Victor: Look, Caroline. We’ve got water all around. You can swim every day if you want to.

Caroline: Yes! I totally want to.

Victor: I think you’re going to love it here. You’ll make lots of new friends at the village school, and you can ride your bike anywhere without having to worry about cars, and when Yuri and I aren’t working we can all go on lots of adventures.

Yuri: We should go to that place where people can swim with dolphins.

Caroline: We can really swim with dolphins?

Yuri: We can, and we can pick our own fruit, and go sailing.

Victor: I’ll teach you how to sail the outrigger. Then you can come and help me when I do house calls.

Caroline: Cool!

The clinic has a room for overnight patients. Victor knew when he accepted this nurse exchange assignment that he’d sometimes be responsible for sick patients around the clock, but he doesn’t mind. It’s all part of the job, and he gets a lot of fulfillment from his work.

Victor can’t imagine a more beautiful and peaceful place for people to recover.

WIP Build. Dubbed it 423 Cawthorn Trail ( @cawthorntales )

Was futzing around in build seeing if I could build off their description of the house they want for Rose. I don't know what they had in mind for the bedrooms, but currently there are 2 child, 1 adult, and 1 baby room, 2 bathrooms, dining room, large living room, kitchen, backyard has cow, llama, and chicken pens with some gardening, floral decor, patio and a small (country fish) pond in the front.

It's CC free and mainly BGC with the exception of the pens which are cottage living and maybe the shelfing from decorator which could easily be swapped out. I have all the packs... yep... even the stupid ones!! It's ridiculously hard to build with BGC only... I went with that because I wasn't sure what Cawthorn has and does not have. So I challenged myself to try to build without any extra packs. Turns out it's not impossible, but not probable. I miss so many of the other build items... BGC is so sparse but I think it turned out ok.

More to see under cut. It's been many a day since I dove into building homes from scratch. I figured it's time to get back into it. If they do not want it, I will release it to the wild (public) and if it does get released into the wild I'll go with my standard, shell, landscaping, full furnishing options.

Lemme know what y'all think.

At The Field Station...

The next afternoon, Félix and Belle returned to the field station. Davian was excited to see Félix.

Davian: I missed you.

Félix: I missed you too.

Davian: Did you uncover any good stuff?

Félix: We did, and Belle found something that might be significant. I’ll have to clean it up to know for certain, but it seems promising.

Davian: That’s awesome. Where is Belle, by the way? I thought she came in with you.

Félix: She was right behind me, but she noticed a butterfly and went back out.

Davian: That kid and her butterfly obsession… She might end up becoming a biologist instead of an archaeologist.

Félix: She can do whatever makes her happiest.

Davian: Exactly. Anyway, I’m gonna run outside and see what she’s up to.

Félix: While you’re doing that, I’m going to unpack her artifact, and then I’m going to hop into the shower.

Davian: If you’re showering, maybe you can wait for me. Nothing says ‘welcome back’ like the things I can do to you in the shower.

Félix: Ooh… Well, my original intention was to get clean, but I could see myself getting a bit dirty as well.

Davian: Hold that thought, ‘cause we’re absolutely coming back to it.

Félix: Can I get a preview?

Davian: Yeah… you do need a shower.

Félix: *laughing* You know what? I’m not even offended.

Davian: Get clean, then get dirty. That’s the plan.

Félix: I concur.

Davian: Hey, kid. I missed you. How was the expedition?

Belle: It was fun! Except for Félix's cooking. And the bees. That wasn’t fun.

Davian: What bees?

Belle: I got swarmed by bees, but it wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been. None of them stung me.

Davian: How can you be so calm about it? I’d be freaking out.

Belle: Not freaking out is how to keep yourself from getting stung. I was a little scared, but I tried to stay still like Félix said.

Davian: Man, I’d be running for my life. You definitely take after Félix when it comes to bugs and stuff. So brave.

Belle: It's all part of being an explorer.

Davian: Want some lemonade?

Belle: Yes, please!

Davian: So, tell me more about the excavation site. Félix says he thinks you found something important.

Belle: He thinks it might be a temple icon, but we have to get all the dirt off it to be sure. It's kind of a mess. But, guess what? If it turns out to be something important, Félix said he's going to put my name in the report because I was the one who actually uncovered it. And maybe in the museum they'll even put a sign on it like, 'Discovered by Belle Blanchet and Félix Blanchet'.

Davian: That'd be cool, having your name on a sign in the museum.

Belle: Yeah! None of my friends have their names on a sign in the museum.

Davian: The only one of your friends I can imagine having their name on a sign some day is Junior. One of those signs you have to hold at the police station when they take your mugshot.

Belle: *giggling* Junior's not that bad, Davian. You know he only does bad stuff so all his parents and step-parents and whoever will pay attention to him. He told me he doesn't like going to the trailer park with Dylan, but ever since his grandma and grandpa arranged for his real dad to get married again, he doesn't feel like he fits in at home either.

Davian: I can relate to that. Having a deadbeat parent isn't much fun, and when your favourite parent gets remarried, that's a struggle too.

Belle: At least Grandma Charmian never had any more kids after she married Papa Langston. Junior says it's weird to have a stepmom, and he really doesn't like having a sibling.

Davian: Auntie Chloë and I wouldn't have liked that either. We were thirteen and fourteen when Mom married Langston though, and I don't think she wanted to raise any more babies anyway.

Belle: That was lucky for you. And I'm lucky that I don't have a sibling and that you and Félix are gonna be together forever and that you always give me lots of attention.

Davian: Having you wasn't easy. You're like one of those rare treasures that you have to work really hard to get, and it becomes so important to you that you pour all your heart and soul into protecting it and admiring it and showing it off. Y'know what I mean?

Belle: That's your way of saying you love me, right?

Davian: Yeah, but I can say it the traditional way too.

Belle: I know, 'cause you say it to me and Félix all the time. Personally, I think you should have a talk with Junior's family and teach them how to say it, 'cause he needs to hear it more.

Davian: Maybe if the opportunity ever comes up, I will.

Belle: Okay. I'm going to play for a while, and maybe see what Indie and the other students are doing. Indie said she'd do something cute with my hair, and Natsuki promised to teach me how to use chopsticks.

Davian: Okay, but don't bother them if they're busy. Think about how you'd feel if you were in the middle of something and somebody interrupted you.

Belle: I know not to bother them if they're busy. If they're doing something else, I'll just ask when would be a better time for them to play with me.

Davian: Good. And while we're on the subject of playtime...

Belle: You and Félix want to have playtime? Don't worry. I won't interrupt you either. But you should try to be quiet in case you interrupt everybody else.

Davian: *laughing* Anybody ever tell you that you know way too much?

~ playtime ~

If you hadn't guessed, they weren't particularly quiet about it. Some o the students were a little shocked, but nobody was really surprised.
