Another medium-sized native was dropped off on the island in the middle of the night! New challenge: Continue with all of current activities while settling Borrowed Native on the Island, assimilating him into the tribe, and keeping him alive until his parents return home from the hospital with his new baby sister.
Must complete challenge in sleep-deprived state…only slept from 1-4:30am last night. The more you know you need the sleep, the harder it is to sleep. The silence of the island kept me up. Regular coke for dinner might not have helped, either.
Finally gave up on snoozing at 5:56am, and debated whether I could risk a shower. Borrowed Native was already coughing and stirring. Feared he would leave the Island in search of his parents while I was in the shower. Small Native was also squeaking intermittently.
Decided to compromise: take a quick shower, but not enjoy it. Was washing my hair when I heard a bedroom door open. Jumped out of the shower to intercept Borrowed Native in the hall and guide him to the potty. Borrowed Native complained about the water I had dripped on the floor. Sigh.
Trying to keep Borrowed Native quiet in a secluded area of the island while the other natives get a few more minutes of sleep.
Is it just me, or is this challenge just an obvious ploy for ratings?!
