10:30 PM – contemplated how lovely the weather was for sleeping outside
10:35 PM – realized that no spot on the ground is ever as flat as I think it is
10:45 PM – wondered how long I would be awake before my body gave up and fell asleep
11:05 PM – realized that the periodic thwacking sounds in the distance were dads in another campsite playing cornhole a few campsites over
11:58 PM – wondered if I could, undetected, slash the tires on the trucks belonging to the inconsiderate dads still playing cornhole and cheering loudly late into the night
01:30 AM – my body, wondering why I’m still awake, decides this is when I need to leave the tent to use the bathroom
03:00 AM – got to see/hear my daughter laugh in her sleep
04:00 AM – realized my bet against needing the rain fly on my tent was wrong
04:05 AM – realized I could put the rain fly on the tent by myself in about 60 seconds
04:07 AM – rain intensifies, making the early morning interruption worthwhile
06:40 AM – woke up stiff and bleary-eyed to a beautiful, cool morning that made up for most of the night
