Breakfast took Elisa to Cooking level 6

She heads out side to deal with the moldy leaf pile but gets distracted watching a squirrel running around the garden. She tries to catch it but just ends up getting bitten.

After failing to catch the squirrel she moves her attention to setting the leaf pile alight.

But her attention is short lived as she spies a chipmunk across the garden and heads over to watch it.

And she manages to catch him! Welcome to the family Gibson the chipmunk!

She heads off to paint. Aww is she painting Gibson?

Isn’t he cute!!

Wait. Nope it’s a hamster with a toadstool umbrella. Okay :/

Leaving Gibson to enjoy his new wheel, Elisa heads off to the park to collect some more décor items.

When she arrives she is accosted by Malcolm Landgraab and persuaded to play a game of catch.

Once the game is over Elisa manages to collect a few wildflowers and take a few photos before heading over to Performance Park for the neighborhood grillathon.

The challenge is to grill 5 servings of anything in the allotted time.

However she is so hungry she ends up having to stop after her first batch to eat!

Serving 2. And yes she has just picked that sausage up off the floor! Naughty Elisa!!

Elisa: 10 second rule!

She then heads straight onto serving 3. It’s looking good!

But no win. Just as she finished serving 4 it was time up.

Wow! Look at all that food!

Elisa heads home and hangs her holiday lights ready for Snow Day.

She spends some time playing with Gibson then heads to bed.

No one home so after taking a few snaps of the garden and reaching photography level 6 she begins the renovation.

It was a hard job spending the budget in such a small space.

So she replaced the old outdoor dining table

And added a washer and dryer.

With the kitchen so small, Elisa took some time to test it out before calling in the renovation to make sure everything was accessible.

After waiting in the snow for 2 hours she realized her client was not going to be home anytime soon so headed to her next job. She would have to head back later for the result.

Elisa earned a $500 bonus and a photo for her portfolio.

Elisa headed back to her first job location but the client had still not returned so she will have to head back tomorrow. Before heading home she builds a snowman.

She feeds Gibson, has dinner then heads for bed.

The toilet has broken. Again.

Elisa unclogs it before starting work and reaches handiness level 3.

She heads over to the Alvi household but still no sign of her client.

A quick reset sim later and he appears!

“Overall, I think you did a good job. You cluttered things up quite a bit. I’m not sure how useful this renovation will be if I cannot get to my new items. I love all those hand crafted objects you used. You did okay. Thanks for trying.”

“Overall, I think you did a good job. You cluttered things up quite a bit. I’m not sure how useful this renovation will be if I cannot get to my new items. I wouldn’t mind working with you in the future. Thanks!”

Well that wasn’t so bad. Elisa earned a $50 bonus and a photo for her portfolio.

After breakfast Elisa heads off to give Erin her painting and gets invited to Clare Ursine’s Feast Party.

She rushes home to make a dish for the party and reaches cooking level 8.

Time to party!

However she soon gets bored and heads outside to build a snowman then decides to head home.

“I cannot live in this squalor! You need to at least give me enough to live with before I let you finish this!”

Oh dear! It looks like they needed that bed!

Elisa returns to the renovation and adds a loft bed to the room, at her own expense. Let’s hope that will be enough!
