Right up until I graduated, I really had no idea what I wanted to do for a living. The only thing I really want to do is raise a family. But I needed a job until then, so I started working at the library in Exeter.

The waiting
Round 24: Winter 2020
Narrated by Joanna Gottlieb
I couldn't really believe it myself but I actually won $60,000 in the lottery! It's meant that Rose and I have been able to start our lives together a lot more comfortably than we might have been able to otherwise - our own house, two cars and some money to put away for a rainy day too.

Grandma got in a car accident the other week and she's on doctor's orders to rest up. She's got a cast on her arm and has a lot of bruising, so she's supposed to be taking it easy but Grandpa keeps catching her trying to take the garbage out, or exercise. Anything she's not supposed to do.Monday, 25 January 2010

Sullivan Primary School is finally finished!
The rest of the school can be seen here and here.
I really wanted to have the primary school finished in time for the next school update and I'm happy to say that it's done! Mostly, anyway. There are some final details I'll add once I have Tatiana buy it and go down there. Otherwise though, it's finished!
I had only three more classrooms to decorate and here they are.
First up, the art room. Can you tell it was late at night when I did this? The way I have the easels, none of the kids would be able to see the model in the middle of the room. I'm still trying to decide whether I care enough to change it.

How to live alone
Round 24: Autumn 2020
Maia is settling into Novak Hall and in contrast to how she spent her time in high school, she's already got cracking on her course work. Academics are still not her strong point but she doesn't want her parents to feel like they've wasted their money in paying for her tuition - to her family, the tuition is a lot of money.

More of the new and improved primary school
First part of the tour is here.
I did a couple more rooms of the school yesterday and I feel like showing them off, so here they are.

I don't normally do floor plan shots but I had a special request for them at N99, so here they are.

Sullivan Primary School 2: Electric Boogaloo
Excuse my silly title, but I've always wanted an excuse to use that joke!
As you know, Sullivan Primary School is currently being rebuilt. I'm a very lazy builder, in that I procrastinate about doing it forever but once I get going, I can usually get things done pretty fast! So seeing I've actually started this, I'm 100% confident that I'll get it finished in time for the 2022 elections. If I get super-motivated, it may even be ready for the kids in the next school update!
I thought you might like to take a look at how it's shaping up so far. As always, click to enlarge any picture.
So here it is. It's not in its final position in the hood yet, so don't mind all the empty space! The part on the left is also now one storey higher, so as to make room for the indoor basketball court. There are also actually some windows there now. ;)

No babies or birthdays this time - just an update on some soon-to-be-born Sullivan residents!
First up, Jairus and Vanessa Gentry, two of my playable NPCs, are expecting! Vanessa isn't due until Autumn 2020 but she's already looking quite large. Perhaps this is because she's expecting her second set of TWINS!

The night before Ben's funeral, I had to call in to work to let them know I wouldn't be in. I shouldn't but I felt really guilty. I still feel new there but when there's a death in the family, what else can you do?Ben Nihill, 1955-2019

Ben Nihill, 64, died in his Sullivan home this morning of natural causes.

Once Grandpa died, I had a feeling Grandma wouldn't be too far behind him. I always knew her death would hit Troy and me pretty hard and even Christopher - she wasn't his grandmother, but she was the closest he had to one. I wasn't expecting Patience to be so upset though. I didn't realise Grandma meant that much to her too.

Round 24: Autumn 2019
Narrated by Luc Lane
Since Joanna got back from her trip, she and Rose have been living here, with me and Gordon. They were only ever going to stay here until they could save enough to get a place on their own. That didn't end up taking them very long, because Joanna won $60,000 in the lottery! Can you believe that? I've got barely $7000 to my name and Joanna just gets a whole heap of cash handed to her! Anyway, it all happened pretty fast - they found a house, they bought it and they moved to Sullivan. Crazy.Sunday, 3 January 2010
