Elvira wakes up Friday morning a bit grumpy and bleary, so she does something very unlike her and goes back to bed.
A few hours later, she walks out in her new uniform. Oh yeah, did I tell you she's a Paramedic now? Also, she's about 2 hours late to work, but still has a smile on her face. Aw, our little Workaholic's growing up!
After work, Floyd fertilizes his apple trees with some of the minnows he caught, which apparently are the best fertilizer he's caught so far. He's doing this because he got an opportunity to deliver some great or better apples. We'll see how that goes.
Afterward, he goes to fish at this beautiful spot, Stoney Falls. There's actually a pretty big lot space here and I actually wanted the Nesbitts to live here, but I figured having them smack-dab in the middle of my very own Stepford Wives, Sims Edition was better. Sorry, Nesbitts!
After work, Elvira is once again on hunting duty. Show me the monies! It also gives me an opportunity to get great shots like this.
She then deposits her crawly finds at the Science Facility. I forget exactly how much they got. It was like around 200 simoleans, though. Woo!
Elvira tries her best to appreciate the art out in front.
Elvira: I don't get it.
It's past midnight and Floyd is still fishing. I think this has been his biggest catch so far.
When he finally does stop, he chats with this lettuce plant about his promotion. Yep, he's a Report Processor now.
WRONG, Floyd! It's the weekend!
Elvira's got the right idea. And she's never even started to learn the Cooking skill, so she's not even learning. This is purely Saturday morning relaxation.
While they start to enjoy their weekend, let's check out what it's like living with these slobs.
*Psycho theme*
Actually I've seen worse with just one Slob. At least their toilet and counters are still clean.
After she's been entertained, Elvira finds a package in the mail.
Oh, hey, it's probably from Gwen!
Elvira's gonna kill her.
Most likely because it's art. WORTH 2,300 simoleans! We're selling this baby. And actually that's exactly what they have in the account already, so DOUBLED. Yesh!
Floyd is still asleep and apparently dreaming of how much of a -steal- that painting was. ;D
Aww. Look! Malika grew up!
And her mom's helping her learn to ride a bike!
*furious peddling*
But she makes it out alive.
Aimee: Dangit...
And, no surprise, the workaholic works during the weekend.
During her hunting yesterday, Elvira found a Great apple seed. Yes! Let's hope it brings forth fruit in time.
This is what his little garden looks like for now.
A few minutes later, despite being literally next door probably looking out the window, Marley calls to chat. Even Floyd is confused.
He lets Marley know just how lovely the house has become and the joy of living amongst flies.
Marley: Have you ever thought about, I dunno, cleaning, maybe?
Floyd: *has existential crisis*
Floyd: So I saw your wife's lesson with Malika...
Marley: Oh, yeah. Haha! *scoffs* Women.
Floyd: *chortles professionally while dying inside*
We all feel ya, Floyd.
He changes the subject by detailing the marvels of fishing.
Maybe Elvira doesn't like Chef Boyardee as much as I thought; because, for having no concept of cooking, she sure is a critic.
At 10:00, Floyd finds himself at Stoney Falls once again.
Entertained enough for now, Elvira calls up her boss, though it's nearing midnight.
Elvira: Hey, yeah, Mrs. Martinez. Jennifer. Jen. Can I call you Jen? Yeah, I need some gems, pronto.
Jennifer: ...
Elvira: For, uh, research. Purely medical research.
Elvira: ...WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?
Elvira: *murmuring* Yeah, you better run...
Elvira: Speak at your conference for you? Done.
Elvira (aside): Show me the money!
This is all seriously the sequence of their conversation.
It must have been pretty draining for her because with this face she heads to bed.
Floyd is still fishing.
But DANG look at this sky!
