What's good for clearing a schedule?

I find a sick child is best. You can think of nothing else. Every other task that was deemed even remotely important is pushed to the bowels of the stack and all hope of it seeing the light of day is so miniscule that it's not worth a nanosecond of mental recall.

Yesterday's sick child list includes:

projectial vomiting from 11 p.m. til 3 p.m.
two separate hospital ERs separated by an ambulance ride
xrays
CAT scans
ultrasounds
IV fluids and meds
high fevers
grandparents coming to the rescue and driving us home

I can't wait to put to pen this year's Christmas letter. Now we have something to write about.
