Build Newcrest Challenge: Generation 1: Joseph Simself<\/pre>\n
Day 14\u00a0<\/strong>(Household Income: \u00a75,088)<\/em><\/p>\n
Another day, another simoleon. I don’t have much to my name right now. I’m still working hard, though. Hard at work and hard at my aspiration of being a freelance botanist.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I wake up around 6:00am from my stomach growling. Cereal time. I could go for some junk food, but I guess this is better for me.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
My daisyies are ready for cutting. This means I should be able to graft two of these together to form something new. I take what they call a spliced garden shoot. Botanist lingo I picked up from the internet.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
So I graft the daisy spliced garden shoot onto one of my strawberry plants…<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
And turn it into a plant that will produce strawberries, daisies, and now bonsai buds.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I then take a cutting of one of my lily flowers and graft it onto one of my snapdragon bushes to produce…<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
A plant that will produce lilies, snapdragons, and now orchids. I water it so it’ll grow just as beautiful as the rest of my garden.<\/p>\n
I then spend the rest of my time watering the rest of my garden until I need to get ready for work.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
After I get dressed for work, I make one round around my garden with a smile. I’m so close to calling myself a freelance botanist.<\/p>\n
Off to work I go.<\/p>\n
\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
My boss called me into the office today at work and told me he’s given me another vacation day to the 3 I already had saved up. Not that I’ll need it right now, it’s nice to know I have some in case of emergencies.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I go into my tent to change into…<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
My jogging sweats.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I want to stay fit. Gardening is a workout in itself, but it doesn’t tone the body.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Nasty! That jogging gave me a good sweat and not a good one. I am stiiiinky!<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I get into my tent to change out of my clothes. I quickly make my way to my bathtub in hopes nobody else sees me. I don’t want to see my naked butt trending over the social media networks.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Much better!<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
After that nice bath, I go online to update my social media status. My followers seem to like my recent joke postings, so I’m continuing that.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I go back into my tent to change into some regular clothes. I’m hungry and need more than just a roasted weenie. So I’m heading to my favorite spot to grill.<\/p>\n
But what’s this? A Winnie The Pooh? Well, it kind of looks like Pooh Bear. Except it has an orange or lemon on the front. It’s cute anyway. I have to go say hi to the bear. Kids to the darndest things.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
After my encounter with the little bear, I start my grilling. I’m going with veggie burgers tonight.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I end up eating alone. But that’s okay. Hopefully it won’t be this way too much longer. Hint hint!<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
After eating, I leave the rest of the plate for others who might be passing by and hungry. I make my way back to my tent to water some of my basil bushes that look to be drying out.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow, so I will call it a night. See you in the morning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
