Managed to squeeze in a shower while Small Native napped and other natives watched Bob the Builder. Even shaved legs! Bonus points for that! Emerged with clearer mind and, without natives currently clamoring for attention, was finally able to survey the island itself. Destruction. Desolation. Debris covers the land, and I can actually see imaginary tumbleweed balls blowing across. This was hardly Paradise Island to begin with, but now it looks like something from a Will Smith action movie. Has the Fresh Prince been here?! Is that who set my watch back?!
With a sinking feeling, begin to realize how many business items have piled up while focusing exclusively on the natives for two days. School sign-ups are delinquent. Financial accounts need urgent juggling. Emails requiring replies are days overdue. Reference letter I have been composing in my head needs to make it to paper. Favorite uncle’s birthday card is so late, it may now be more appropriate to wait for next year. Sigh. Pretty sure Small Native’s technological capabilities are more than sufficient for him to help me with some of these items. Too bad he is working for the other side.
Side note: Marx was wrong; religion is not the opiate of the masses, Bob the Builder is. Trust me on this. Must get more work done before natives emerge from Bob-induced coma.
