| Jo Beth and her boyfriend Joe got married. For their honeymoon, they went camping. Right away, Jo Beth was having terrible difficulties. For some reason she had to pee several times every night, which meant climbing over the truck liftgate and stumbling around to squat in the dark and cold. She had trouble balancing when she first woke up, which made it challenging to miss her feet. Her eyes were swollen, and so dry that her lids stuck to them. She had the most horrible headaches she could imagine. Her hips hurt deep inside. The camping mat didn't help at all on the corrugated truck bed. She often wept silently, next to her happily-snoring new husband. Jo Beth didn't want to spend her honeymoon complaining all the time, so she didn't. She didn't want Joe to know that, a lot of the time, she was absolutely miserable. She just wanted to go home to their comfortable bed and cry and cry and cry. |
