The Chikamori family, it appeared, was settling into Legacy Island very nicely. Haruo decided that it was necessary to have homegrown honey so well, the fact that the new house had bee-hives was an added plus. That way the family could have fresh honey every morning with their pancakes or whatever.
Of course bee keeping meant wearing protective clothing to protect against bee-stings. Being stung by bees was not considered a highlight of the day by any means, so it well behooved any sim to take proper precautions in order to make sure that they remained intact.
River made breakfast that morning. She had mastered her cooking skill so her cooking was on par with her husband's cooking skills. And of course, her breakfasts were absolutely delicious.
The house and its surrounding property was well maintained and the family graveyard was just across the field so even the deceased could have their own space close by.
When River was done making breakfast, ensuring that the whole family had a full serving of breakfast leftovers whicch would be consumed gratefully, laundry awaited. It wasn't a favorite task of River's but well, the family went through clothes and it had to be done.
...and then it was time to pay the bills and collect the mail that showed up in the mailbox. It was certainly interesting to have to sort out between junk mail and bills and well most of it got pitched in the recyling.
It was roughly about that time, when River was pitching a unsolicited love-letter into the trash where it belonged that agonzied screaming came from the backyard. You see there is a routine...smoke the box, retrieve the honey, smoke the box, feed the bees, smoke the box, clean the hive...any deviation from this will get you stung. Haruo didn't remember the routine; so Haruo got stung. C'est la vie.
It's even more fun that watching "Dancing with the Stars." Maybe they should have bees on the show so the contestants get stung every time they mess up a dance move.
Brianna recently got herself a promotion to Department Head and had to go to city hall to do some requisitioning funds. Evidently there were shortfalls in the school budget that needed to be addressed and well, since Brianna was on fast-track to become Vice-Principal, she needed to be well versed in negotiating a budget review and requisition funds from the city. It was all for the benefit of the children...after all.
The basketball hoop was getting a lot of use from the Chikamori family, after all, what was more fun than playing basketball on an afternoon after work duties were done.
River still had to periodically sell a print though with suing the living caca out of ne'er do wells who decided to slander her good name made a heckuva killing in terms of finances. And with the fact that the Chikamoris were celebrities in their own right, most of the judges tended to side with them. Life was good. But still, River liked to sell paintings and she did so, especially to those who appreciated her artistic eye.
...and of course River always had time for her husband; who'd realized just how River was feeling and did spend time with her. After all these years, taking the spouse for granted is not the way to go, you have to keep the romance alive in order to stay together. And well, he needed to put in that effort.
Of course, an abduction attempt, just as things were getting hot and heavy,was a great mood killer. And well, River made the alien understand just what a bad move that was with a right hook to the jaw. Maybe next time don't come calling at the Chikamori residence. I'm sure that alien is going to be feeling that one for a while.
Well...once the alien had left, things got hot and heavy in the shower. Hey, kill two birds with one stone; get clean...get to your happy place. It's true...she whinnies like a horse. Well, she's much cuter than a horse though.
Well, that's one way of taking care of the "wants to woohoo with..." wish. Whatever turns your crank, eh, Haruo?
