Dear Sweet (Stupid) Self

Simone wrote herself a reminder: Dear Sweet (Stupid) Self, If you put the tent pole system in upside down, no amount of crying, cursing and praying will make the tent stand upright. Turn the entire contraption the other way. And while you're spending an hour not trying something different to see if it'll work, please wear sunscreen. Thank-you. Oh. And bless the instruction writers at Ikea. They should write EVERY instruction manual. Especially tent instructions.
