Favorites are Autumn Salad, Turquoise and Pop Music. Sign is Cancer.


She is the beloved Sister of Tulumus Deosil, the great Magician. While he is on a quest of great magnitude he has left his sister with only the clothing on her back and the goal of becoming wealthy. How will Tulumla survive? Will she find love? Let's wish her luck on her journey to 1.000.000$.

Day 2

Tulumlas headed back to Nectar Haven to get a better look at the garden and orchard first thing in the morning.

Wow! Flame fruit and Life plants just waiting to be picked.




She also found a large orchard filled with many types of trees. Harvested until her energy ran out.

Crashed on a couch in the lovely sitting area.



Woken up by a phone call. Hey.....maybe Tumulus is checking in on her.....nope but she was offered a super opportunity.


Took another nap.


Moseyed over to Pee Wee's Pawn and Brokerage and ate an apple, took another nap....used the ladies room and brushed her teeth....the counter was closed so.....off to Everfresh Delights Supermarket to sell the fruits and veggies.

BUTTONSGINGER

Week 2, Day 3

The day begins with a little playing.



Had breakfast.


Sold produce from yesterdays harvest at Nectar Haven.



On her stroll through town, this little gem caught Tumulas' eye. How darling! Just enough room for a garden too!
The local reality showed this listing: Granny's Doll House/ 96 Capitol Way/ $16,206.00. So close....yet so far! Only $1,822.00 more simoleons needed. Tumulas bit her lower lip and hoped it stayed on the market until she had the simoleons needed plus a little more cushion.




More Seeds.....this is good but Tumulas is saving them for her new garden in her lovely little home.


Dropped off some more insects for the Science Lab.....maybe she can get a job here , after she moves.



Across town she found a spider....yipes.....but she really needs the cash. Took a deep breath and pick it up.....ewwww....wiggly hairy legs.



Stopped in at A Bar of One's Own and had stu surprise. Tried out the bubble machine too ....set her back $15 simoleons but gave her a great moodlet....it was worth every errrrrmmm....penny (?).





Checked out the second level and found a nice place to sit. Next thing she knew she was waking up from a lovely dream.....about strawberry bubbles.


Tumulas just had to donate the spider before going home....no way she would get any rest with it crawling all over her inventory!


One last chore before turning in.....sent to gems off to be cut. Here is hoping they will be worth more and not less than their original value!




Household funds: $14,384.00

BUTTONSGINGER

Week 2 Day 5

Received cut gems.

Week 2 Day 6

Good Morning, this is the most exciting day in Tumulas' life. Rises Early.


She harvests the remainder of her plants, packs her sleeping bag and sprinkler and picks up the cell phone.


What Luck! Her dream house is still on the market. SOLD! Tumulas give a bittersweet look at her meager lot. She wonders if Tumulus will be upset with her selling it off. Then again, she hasn't heard a word from her mystical brother. Most of their lives they didn't know the other existed so I guess they didn't miss each other that much. Or did they?


Tumulas jumps out of the cab and runs as fast as her feet will carry her.


She is pleasantly surprised. A cozy kitchen/Living Space.


A comfy bed of her very own.....not going to miss that sleeping bag one bit.


Spends a moment to reflect on all she has accomplished. She is no longer a hobo....." I am bona fide homeowner!"



Hops on her newly purchased bicycle and takes it for a spin.


Drawn to the courthouse ....she registers as a gardener.


Once back home, Tumulas trys out her new stove and whips up a rather tasty Mac-n-Cheese.


Delicious!



A long soak in her very own tub.....how utterly wonderful. No chance on someone walking in on her in here.


Finds Handiness Vol. 1: Unplug It First! in the bookshelf. This could prove to be very useful.


Time to hit the hay.....Gardener rise with the chickens. Tumulas can't wait to plant her collection of seeds.


Household Funds: $805

Week 2 Day 7

First things first.....plant those seeds that have been piling up in Tumulas' inventory.


Have the Breakfast of Champions.


Plant more seeds. Tumulas can't wait to see what they are......sure can't tell by looking at them.


Arrived at Nectar Haven by dusk. Harvested.


Kept working until she could no longer see her hand in front of her face.



Greeted Jackie and enjoyed her Ghost story!



Rushed over to Everfresh Delights Supermarket to sell her produce.



Exhaustion overcame Tumulas and she pulled out her old friend and settled down for a quick nap.

BUTTONSGINGER

Week 3 Day 1

Whipped up a batch of waffles.


Ate them out by the garden.


Work in the garden all day....whew!


Tumulas had a wish to eat at the Bistro.....so off we went. She chose stir fry and a lovely table outside.


Look who was there....Scooter Hubbs.....wow and he is a celebrity too. Let's see if she can impress him.


How about that.....he was impressed with her level 7 gardening skill.


My my....who is this handsome stranger?


All in all Tumulas found Magician1 very charming.....they talked (unprompted by yours truly) for quite sometime.



Holy cow! Look at this dessert....baked angle food cake. Tumulas is gonna have to try it soon!


A nice night for a bike ride....helps to keep those legs nice and shapely for the Gents.


Another day gone.....life is good.



Household funds:[strike] $805.00[/strike] Oh Rubbish....I have no idea how this happened. I lost my last day save....I am back to week 2 day 7....I swear it was there when I opened this time....I knew my HF was 618 only made 2 simoleons ...but now my HF are back to 805 and my seeds are not planted in my garden.

Gave the garden some TLC.


Chatted with Corydoras.


Sent some gems off to be cut....oval cuttings this time.


Released a butterfly ....a garden needs certain insects.


Bought an aquarium and stocked it with a goldfish.


Unclogged the potty. Household chores can be a bummer.



After planning a new outfit....a more Forever the Fifties Style....Tumulas headed over to the Bistro for a quick dinner. Maybe rub some elbows with a few local celebrities.


No celebrities tonight but she did meet a very interesting Sim. They chatted for some time and Tumulas just knew they'd be grand friends.
