Tonight we tried to go to a movie, but it was sold out. Instead we walked around the beautiful BYU campus, strolling along the little stream and waterfall. I laid back on the grassy slope and stared up at the wispy clouds in the sky. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw movement and looked over to see a mother duck with 7 darling ducklings. They waddled around finding bugs in the grass and it was the cutest thing.
Then I started to feel the rumbles in my abdomen, and by the time I realized it was urgent, we were quite a distance from an open building with a restroom. Uh oh. Not so good. This hadn't happened the previous two evenings, so I wasn't really thinking about the possibilities. We (very quickly) made our way back to the closest open building, just in the nick of time. Whew, that was close!
Then as we drove home, the same deal started again. Thankfully we were only a couple of minutes from home, but I think I've learned my lesson about wandering too far from a restroom. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the timing, it just is what it is.
I've already chugged down my senna tea and am off to bed. I have a feeling that 2 o'clock alarm may go off again tonight. It's a great night NOT to be in a tent far from the restroom!
