Wednesday Night, June 7 – What Are We Going to Do?!
10:30 pm
I awake to snoring.
Terrible, raspy, loud and long.
Barb, who confessed to snoring when lying on her back, asleep beside me.
I kick Barb.
The snoring continues.
Kick again.
Still snoring.
Reach out and pull down hard on her sleeping bag.
She rolls over.
And still this terrible sawing snoring.
Oh, I guess it’s not Barb. It’s that guy who came in late last night. We invited him to put down his bag on the far side of the shelter.
I’m now laughing.
Poor Barb.
Sorry Barb I whisper.
The snoring saws on.
Poor me!
I sit bolt upright.
Loud stage whisper to the other side of the lean-to, “Jen what are we going to do?!”
Silence.
I can’t sleep, not with likes of this.
