So Much To Do; So Little Time

I didn’t realize it had gotten this bad. I mean I knew it could be a problem but I had no idea how huge it had gotten in such a short amount of time. I’m talking about my new addiction to Animal Crossing on Wii.

I never got into video games. I’d play an occasional solitaire or mahjong on the PC and I did play Mario and Tetris on a Gameboy many years ago. I even have poker for my Gameboy Advance but not the big console games. I never understood how people could sit for hours in front of those things until they got glassy eyed and lost most of their brain function. Now, I’m one of them.

I figured out what it is. There’s something hidden inside those games that hypnotize you and brainwash you. But I love the little town I moved to. My neighbors; Pecan, PeeWee and Nibbles. Even Gloria, who can be hard to understand is growing on me. I contribute to the town fund regularly and I’ve paid off my mortgage in about a week and recently got an addition to my house. The other day a cousin visited me from her home town. Now all the people in town are talking about her. All I hear is; “I wish Sharon would come visit again.” “Sharon’s a regular Average Joe.”

Last night when I finally ventured into the real world and got on my computer I had an email from a friend asking if I was OK. She hadn’t heard from me or seen any blog posts in a while and thought something was wrong. That’s when I started thinking I might have a problem. I think I’ll go into town later and ask the residents if there’s a 12 step program for that but I’ll wait until after I sell the 24 fish I have in my living room, the 2 tires I caught my old wallpaper and some other odds and ends. Then I have to get all the apples off the trees, look for more bells, dig for treasure, see if my cherry tree is blooming yet, talk to the townsfolk, get my cup of coffee and shop at Tom Nook’s new store (It was closed yesterday for remodeling). Then I may venture downtown and see a movie and, well, I think that 12 step program can wait a little longer.
