Bela's Sim Stories

Despite trying to regain her passion for her job, Honey is thinking it's time to move on.  Still, she got two more promotions and completed her aspiration. Her and Rowan both somehow got the workaholic lifestyle. So when Honey quit her dead end job, she got a new fear: fear of failure, which sent her into a state of grief. Honey: Rowan, I've been thinking it's time to move on. From Innisgreen and from my job, and even from being a fairy. My work has failed me and fairy magic has failed me. I don't know how much more failure I can take. Rowan understood; failing to have another child had been weighing heavy on him too. Both of them agreed that they'd like to take more time to spend with each other as a family and with Melody. Rowan: Let's just focus on us for now. You, me, and Melody. 

Uncle Tate came over to visit. He and April just had their baby. Honey said next time you come over...bring the baby!   Honey maxed her apothecary skill and was able to craft The Holistic Cure which is the best thing out there she could find as far as cures go. She figured she would give it a go. It raised all her needs, fixed her balance, and made her feel pretty good, but...could it make her able to get pregnant? There was only one way to find out. .... She's about ready to give up apothecary. She still has her fear of a dead end job and she just needs 2 more promotions before she maxes the career and finishes Elixir Enthusiast. On another note, Rowan takes playing dolls very seriously.

 Honey started working hard on her apothecary skill. And in her free time, knitting. She has a bucket list item to master knitting. We shall see... She just needed to see one more client, and then she would work from home. Mirza came over and was cheering as Honey gave her client his cure. She finally received a promotion after her work day ended! Melody played in the bookshelf while Honey crafted cures to sell. She has to make $600 selling crafted items for her aspiration. I tried opening up her small business to have people buy things, but they didn't count towards the goal. Still, it was nice of Mr. Morlind and Mother nature to stop by... She closed the shop and crafted this emotion stone instead. It can detect emotions and bottle emotions more effectively than using fairy abilities. And the bottled emotions can be sold and count towards her goal. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Later, when I loaded my save, Melody was playing in the pond. Honey and Rowan were not far away. Melody takes after R...

 The next day Honey had a client that didn't have any ailments - she was just depressed. Honey gave her a sympathetic hug. She thought she could do more for her though. This seemed like a good time to try out those emotion manipulating abilities. She used her abilities to sway her emotions to a happy state. It seemed to work! Still, Honey sent her home with some happy emotion potions just in case. She made sure to let her know this was just a temporary fix; she would still need to address the root cause of her depression, but perhaps some frequent walks in nature would also help. After Grace left she whipped up an elixir for her next patient. Only one more left to cure for her aspiration, but it would have to wait.  She also needed to raise her apothecary skill so she could get promoted in her job; perhaps that's why she hadn't been enjoying her job - it had been awhile since she'd seen a promotion. Still, there was something else... Honey: I'm always helping others...
