Hollywood Challenge 1/17/19

Neil Pederson got his final elder job promotion, allowing them to pay another $1000 on their Uni debt.  Faith tried to do a barista shift, but her son Nolan showed up and kept distracting her, so she didn't make much on that.  One of these two may die next round, as there's little time left on their meters.  Dante Silver had the day off from work, so the newlyweds put in their celeb hours and then just hung out together at home.  They're in no rush to hear the pitter-patter of little feet; for now they're just enjoying married life.  Nothing much to report on the younger Pedersons.  Gina had the day off, Nolan went to work, but didn't get promoted.  He did achieve his celeb hours goal, so that's something.  Nothing exciting at the Burke/Kratz household either other than the fact that the couple has decided it's time to start their family and will begin trying next round.  I discovered that at some point since I last played Caryl Karr, she fell in love with Neil Chalmers, so I had her go ahead and move him in this round.  He brought in $10K and 10 friends, very nice.  He also has a job (ok it's in Criminal, but income is income right?) which is very helpful as well.  Kaitlyn and Jesse North tied the knot this round.  It seems that Kaitlyn is keen on following in her parents' footsteps by getting married young and starting her family soon, but she might want to take a look at where her parents are now in all honesty.  That strategy didn't work too well for them.  Skip Daniels got a promotion.  Rebecca Hartwood worked on boosting some friendships.  Otherwise a pretty quiet round for them.  Michael Burke and Brooke Sanders have just graduated and moved in together.  They're in the same building where the Silvers live.  Michael found a job in Dance, which is a good choice since it's one of the careers allowed for celebs at the 2* level, meaning he won't have to switch upon leveling up.  Nothing eventful to note on the Karrs.  They're both getting pretty old so not much drama with them.  The Sanders are now debt free thanks in part to Samantha's latest cookbook.  Now they can start saving up again, not that either of them is likely to live long enough to level up.  Despite everyone having the flu in the Burke household (and Jocelyn having morning sickness to boot), they all managed to get through their daily routines.  Nicholas and Jocelyn taught their couples yoga class after Grey left for school.  Then they headed home to rest for a while before Nicholas had to go to work.  Luckily for Jocelyn she had the day off.  Grey came home from school exhausted and went straight to sleep, but woke up early and got his homework done before school.  Pretty productive all things considered.  The Drakes have officially begun the adoption waiting process.  Sydney really accomplished a lot this round:  she went to work and got promoted (and got a huge $10K bonus), then taught yoga for 5 hours, came home for a brief nap, and then studied parenting in the wee hours of the morning.  Andrea had to day off, so she had plenty of time to study parenting as well, which means (barring any unforeseen circumstances) they've met all the requirements for adoption.  Well done!  And that does it for another round, folks.  I'm debating whether to continue on for a few more rounds or switch to another 'hood.  Still on the fence about it, but will make a decision by tomorrow.  Happy Simming!
