112 Day Challenge - Rebecca Keller

Winter Folds Into Spring and the Final Stretch of the Challenge

Rebecca had grown accustomed to a rather jumbled daily schedule as sleep demands overshadowed her immediate desires in the challenge. As Winter set in, she could not escape the nature of her previous challenge habits and continued to conduct business as time allowed, with more efficient sleep, but with little regard towards the hour of the day or night.

The igloo at her campsite held for most of the winter barring a day or two when it was warm enough to make her igloo unusable and require the building of another. She often returned to old haunts, when the igloo was unserviceable and this led to Rebecca never really changing her habits trying to conquer an uncertain foe ... The weather ... 🤣

Rebecca's activities did change some as she reached the extent of her knowledge in Alchemy. There was little else for her to learn without starting a new path and she built on existing skills. Being used to communicating with friends whenever possible through texting, Rebecca had gained some Social Networking skills. She started a News Blog but has only found mediocre results with several steady followers but little reward.

Having fine-tuned her Writing skills, Rebecca also started to use the Greenwire Cafe or the Library to write a few short Mystery Novels. With 5 Novels currently under her belt, she has no failures but no bestsellers either. Rebecca was confronted with idea she could spend the day picking flowers for sale and make as much that way as with her writing skills.

Rebecca has managed to wrap up all of her challenge requirements outside of the final task, which she does have the ingredients and skills necessary to achieve. Far beyond her Community Service requirements, Rebecca can still be found around town tutoring the townsfolk. She has dedicated the bulk of her tutoring towards instruction in cooking as she figures it can be the most useful for everyone.

Rebecca has been able to attend a few more parties, preparing her baked angel food cakes. She also often finds herself repairing appliances and fixtures around the houses before everyone settles in for dessert.

Likewise ... Rebecca is pretty much the IT department around the Greenwire Internet Cafe (I never upgrade the 8 computers at the Greenwire because it allows challengers to complete the Electrician challenge under the Handiness skill).

Rebecca has the Computer Whiz trait and has Overclocked some computers around town. She dabbled with some hacking once but only netted a paltry 514 simoleons. It also kind of conflicted with her Good trait and she was not comfortable with the practice. I mean seriously ... If she can make 4,466 simoleons jogging around town and collecting flowers, seed, and insects ... Then why go through the time and trouble of ripping someone off for much less. Of course, that might be a heavy dose of moral ambiguity ... 🤣

With everything 'wrapped up in a box with a bow' by the end of Winter, Rebecca did take some time on the last day of Winter to get in some snowboarding. The snow slowly melted and was entirely gone by the time she finished boarding. It was going to be a long four weeks of Spring and wrapping up the challenge between naps on the couch ... 🤣

By the end of Winter Rebecca has 4.3 million in the bank (not counting her other assets ... the only two properties she owns). She won't try to make the record unbreakable for future challengers, but she will most likely break Kathy's record for total earnings. Before that seems difficult with hardly any investments and royalties coming in ... Rebecca can do it working only 6 of the remaining 28 days ... 🤣

Happy Simming ... 💖
