The 6 am emotional terrorism (thankfully, my daughter spent the morning screaming at me to leave the room and “stop saying words” so my broken, calloused heart was immune today)

Laughing out loud at this one...with tears! Thanks!
Best part:
"10:58pm / Hear animal footsteps outside tent. Text wife to bring wolf inside.
11:00pm / Receive photo of wolf sleeping on couch in response. Concerning on multiple levels. Decide not to pursue further, and try to sleep."

Wow that sounds fun and also makes me feel very old.
We usually played them as starting from the home page you had to get to a specific page using only the random page button and clicking links.
This might be my new favorite post.

The good news is that Olaf has learned to sleep through “noises stuff makes in the backyard”
