It finally happened, everyone. We finally got a good price for turnip sales! I wondered when it would happen.
We finally had an excellent turnip price! Look!

So to 23andMe, Scotland isn’t its own country?

As a “non-filer”, I’m still waiting on our economic stimulus payment. Not sure how long we’ll be waiting.
Meanwhile, I’ve continued to do more research into my genealogy. It honestly seems like 23andMe does not “regard” Scotland as its own separate country to report, instead lumping it in with British & Irish on the Ancestry Composition page based on what other researchers have reported (particularly on sites like Reddit). However, a lot of Scottish DNA can also be found in the more gerund Broadly Northwestern European section, and sometimes also in the Broadly European section as well. If I take the time to click on the British & Irish section and see which cities 23andMe estimates that I have significant ancestry in, though, it literally lists Glasgow City as one of the top cities, which… wait for it… is in Scotland. Not to mention the fact that some genealogical research done on my paternal grandmother’s last name reveals Scottish origin.
And then there’s the whole 25% of me that Ancestry has relegated Irish & Scottish.
It would be helpful if 23andMe would make an effort (at some point after the pandemic) to isolate Scottish DNA and origins for, you know, the people taking their test that have Scottish DNA. Because I know that I am fairly sizably Scottish. It would be great for me to be able to study that with them in slightly better detail.
Children’s clothing can sometimes be the oddest.

This was, for whatever reason, included with a shirt that I bought Bub. I didn’t realize it until I had opened the package that his shirt came in and this came out as well. Naturally, Bub sees it and falls in love with it for sensory reasons… so now I can’t just take it away from him, although I have restricted him wearing it to only while we are at home. But seriously, I want to know who comes up with these “slogans” and decides that they are appropriate to put on children’s articles of clothing, other than the saying “the cis are at it again”…
I need to come up with better titles for these.
Good news: I am starting to get the hang of the “turnip exchange” in Animal Crossing, so over the course of several days, I actually completely paid off Tom Nook for the first time ever by doing all of the renovations on our house in this game and getting them all done and out of the way. Bub seems to like this game a lot, although he prioritizes certain things over others. I also laid down one of the best bridges in the game (Best Bridge For Bub!) and it should be built tomorrow since I paid the full Bell cost for it. We’ll see how that goes when I boot the game up tomorrow morning and… see whether or not it has actually been built. And so far, on our island there has never been an exceptionally good turnip sale price, so we’ve always been at the mercy of other people’s islands to sell turnips over there. I wish we would, at least once, peak with a good price. I’d probably give our island’s Dodo Code out to good friends of mine to start with before I took advantage of more official sites like the Turnip Exchange, even though I’ve used it myself to travel to other islands with higher turnip sale prices. I’m still getting my feet wet over there with the whole process, because on busier islands it takes awhile what with the whole game pausing whenever someone enters or exits, heh.
People are still panic buying certain things during this pandemic, which has made shopping a bit amusing.
Some of my friends have begun to get the economic stimulus payment (“Coronavirus check”), and we haven’t yet, but I’m waiting to see when we get ours since there’s me and two dependents to be tabulated.
Apparently Social Security re-routed my most recent disability application for a hearing, and this one won’t be held in person due to the distance. I anticipate just plain having to fight them until one of two things happens… I eventually get approved for disability benefits (SSI), or I give up. I don’t want to have to give up.
Chronic, intractable migraines are still my primary disabling diagnosis at present.
I would be doing a lot more (like even playing video games more frequently, seriously) if I didn’t have these.
