How’s it going, Don?

You have to ask? Can you not see the pregnant wife and the cats on the table? Sitting in my food, even!?!?!?!?!?

Yes, yes I can see that.

Look, sim god, you promised me things would get better!  This is not better!  This is so much worse!  Another one of those cats had kittens!  Now there are seven cats living here.  SEVEN!  And two toddlers… and another baby on the way!  How is that even possible?!?!?!?

If you must know, I have my MCCC settings to allow a household max of 12.

You might want to change that.   

I’m considering it.  In the meantime…

No ‘in the meantime’!  This house is too small, there are too many people and too many animals and jogging isn’t helping anymore. 

I’m sorry you feel that way, Don, but what do you intend to do about it.

Take a well deserved vacation.

With your family?

No.  Just me.  No cats, no kids, and Catarina is too close to having the baby to travel.  JUST ME.

I guess it’s a good thing you didn’t take Catarina and the family with you, then!

Yes, a very good thing.  Look, I love my family, but things are too crazy there right now.  Too much.  It needs to change.  

I’m working on a bigger house for you guys, Don.  But you need to have an extra $20,000 to be able to afford it.  It’s nice.  It even has a room for the cats.

A cat room?

Yes, Catarina likes them, so I made her a room.

But we can’t afford it yet.  And I don’t work.  

You did pick some nice new fruits and vegetables for your garden, and now you have more adventures to write about.  And some artifacts to sell.

I do.  

So quit complaining and get home, Don!  Those twins of yours are aging up soon!
