Daily Life with No Money

Here is a screenshot of their lonely homestead:

So sad!

After eating her birthday cake, Maria went to bed and dreamed about...bathtubs?

(In case you didn't notice, I'm making the pictures bigger this time. Last time they were a bit small, and you couldn't exactly see everything).

The next morning, when Maria got up and got her breakfast, Kiera was hogging the only good seat in the house and Maria was forced to make other plans.

Hmm, I'll have to get them another seat soon, because that just bothers me.

Now it's off to school!

Meanwhile, Kiera goes about her daily business (she's not called to work until 3:00).

When not cooking or gardening, Kiera sits unhappily in the dim bathroom.

No thought bubble or anything. But hey, she's absent-minded, so who knows?

Maria came home with a friend named...um...well, she came home with a friend. I think her first name was Zo, but I don't know about the last name. She looks like a 30-Year-Old in a child's form, if you ask me.

"So you see, if you really think about it, all of those shooting stars out there could be these huge rocks..."
Maria seemed quite enraptured by whatever she was saying.

Soon Zo had to go home, and Kiera helped Maria finish her homework.

Then their shower broke, and with not enough money to call the repairman to fix it, I set Kiera to fix it. But, well...

She REFUSED to fix it, no matter how many times I tried.
"Hmm, I sure wish this shower was fixed so that I could get clean. That's too bad."

Sigh
