So a thing about my dude, with whom i’ve been partnered for like. 18 years at this point? IDK. He’s not very demonstrative, and I’ve had a few years now to get used to it and I kind of just live like that now, but. Anyway

We’re camping in the woods at the farm and I’ve got this smallish tent, and I was setting up bedding in it last night, and I had two different mattress toppers as base layers, and was starting to lay them out. The tent has a center pole so they’d have to go either side of it, to fit– each were twin size and that’s just as much room as that tent has.

Dude came in and looked dubiously at them, and I was going to be snippy that he hadn’t done any planning and this was the best I could do, and instead he said, “IDK man, it’s supposed to be cold tonight, I don’t want to sleep that far from you. I think it’s a night for snugs.”

“Do you think you can really actually sleep a whole night with me on a twin-sized surface?” I asked. In our house we have a king-sized bed and he still manages to kick me sometimes. (In his defense, I’ve certainly punched him repeatedly. Listen I lose track of him in all that foam-topped wilderness.)

“Uh,” he said, “yeah,” so I stacked the two mattress toppers and sure enough we did.

Joke’s on him, though, it was 55 when I woke up. The forecast still calls for 45 but it’s definitely 55 out there. Those were PURELY GRATUITOUS SNUGS.

I got a few hours’ sleep but man two foam mattress toppers is not as soft as you’d think, when it’s on bare ground. I am old.
