I woke up. It was about 9:00 am when the alarm started buzzing. I really hate mornings, for different reasons. No one was up, save Sheldon, most of the shops opened an hour later, and my bed is always comfortable. But I managed to force myself out and change into not-so-smelly clothes. As I left my house and locked up, I grabbed an apple off the nearby tree to have for breakfast. Of course, it wasn't a perfect apple, but it was good enough to at LEAST be delicious. I decided that I should walk around town, not to enjoy the scenery...okay, that's ONE of the reasons, but to fish out ideas for a public works projects. Given that the town has barely developed project-wise, I figured this would at least be some change. I noticed Sheldon doing his training (and by training I mean just running around in the same place) and decided to say hi.

"Hey Sheldon!" I yelled.

"Oh, hey Tyler. What's up?" Sheldon said as he turned around.

"Nothing much, just woke up," I said as I stretched a bit. "I was also going around finding places for public works projects."

"Oh that's cool, cardio! Maybe you could have one of those PUBLIC opinion polls? Eh? Eh?" Sheldon joked. He was a nice guy, fun to be around, but he was notorious for making horrid puns. He kinda reminded me of Emile from Palette. (If you don't know who that is, go watch chuggaaconroys lets play of New Leaf. You'll understand when you watch.)

"Oy vey Sheldon, you have GOT to stop trying," I groaned.

"WHAT?" Sheldon said. "Well, I gotta go, cardio. Me and Hamlet we're going to do some cardio together."

"Okay, now THAT was a good one," I remarked. When he tries, he fails, but when he doesn't, they're decent.

"Hehe, I know. Later!" Sheldon said, running off.

I looked at my watch, noticing it was about 9:30. I had a good idea for what my project with be and where to put it, so I ran off towards the mayor's office, or as I like to call it "Isabelle's Second Home." As I sat in the chair, we talked about the project, where to put it, and Isabelle planned on putting up a donation box there. I finished up around 9:50, so I left and went to Main Street. Nook's Homes would be opening up soon, and I wanted to be there because my house, well, was getting a little cramped. Once I arrived, I noticed the place was open five minutes early. "Huh, must be eager." I thought as I entered.

"Ah, Mr. Tyler, welcome!" Nook said, warm-heartedly.

"Yes, hello, I'd like to talk about room expansion." I said. Last renovation cost me about 98,000 Bells, and that was hard enough to get just by fishing. (Hey, it's January, what can ya do?)

"Oh, okay! I believe the loan for this expansion will be about 198,000 Bells. Pocket change, really." Tom said. My mind was literally set to explode. He basically just said "Let's add a hundred more Bells to the cost of the last renovation. That sounds like a deal!" Ugh, I feel like I'm gonna have to get used to this.

"Alright, that sounds good," I said, grimacing every word I said.

"Okay!" Tom said. "Renovations should be done tomorrow!"

"Thanks!" I said as I left that madhouse. I let out a sigh of relief, and started to walk my way down to Able Sisters.

(Oh thank god I managed to get this out. I really should stick to a schedule for once. But here's a longer chapter for your enjoyment! Again, feedback is appreciated.)
