Hello, Gentle Readers! It’s Tuesday, and Carole is back and wants to know:
10 Things You Miss About Your Home When You’re Away
Hmmm, this might be a bit of a challenge, but let’s see how far I can get…
- My bed… of course this is number one, because well – it is perfect for sleeping. And, really – another bed is just never quite right, know what I mean?
- My routine…yes, I am a creature of habit – while I love change, I like somethings to be the same.
- A closet and dresser – living out of a suitcase can be a challenge
- My spinning wheel – although, for an upcoming trip I am planning on bringing a drop spindle or two…
- My own bathroom. Enough said.
- My water – really, your body gets used to the water where you are, different water feels different, smells different, and yes – tastes different.
- I would say the library, however, thanks to Overdrive and a Kindle this is no longer the issue it could be.
- My stash… yes, really!! It is challenging to pack knitting projects!!
- My kitchen. I like to cook, and I eat much better (healthier?) if I prepare the meal.
- Sherman… our preference is to take him with us, but sometimes that is just not possible. When it’s not – I miss him horribly.
There you have it – what I miss most when I am away from home! How about you? What do you miss most?
Ooh Sherman’s a cutie and I bet he misses you terribly, too. It’s really too bad we can’t just transport our idiosyncratic “creature comforts” with us…great list. Enjoy your travels.
Cheers~
Oh my goodness I love that picture and quote! Represents my getaways lately!
Yep. Bed. Bathroom. Closets. 🙂
Water is a great one! I agree!
I always miss my bed! and Frodo! and my regular routine. I love coffee in my favorite mug at my kitchen table completely alone in silence.
Oh, sherman!! What a cutie you are. No wonder you mom misses you when she’s away!!! Of course, I miss Fred, too….and we’ve said after every trip—-we are so lucky to own the most comfortable bed in the world. Unfortunately, this doesn’t stop my wanderlust. Something to look forward…on both sides of a trip!
One through 6…this is me, too! The bed is most important. If we still had a dog he would also be at the top of my list. Sherman is so cute! You should give him more space on your blog. 🙂
Our pets are part of our family and vacations are always better when they come along. Great list and I love that picture of Sherman!
It doesn’t get cuter than that dog!
Oh, I didn’t even think of the bathroom thing. And Sherman! What an adorable dog!
I am completely with you on the routine. While I might not always like the things that fit into my routine (for example, I have been known to call it the Evil Day Job for a reason) I like the comfort that having a routine brings.
I didn’t participate yesterday for two reasons: Our Internet was wonky, and also, other than my pillow and the cats, I couldn’t think of anything else!
But your list sounds reasonable to me. Though I am always more flexible with my time and my routine when we are on vacation, that’s for sure!
Definitely miss my routine the most! During my trips I already plan my days at home 🙂 I know it’s awful and I should enjoy the moment, but just can’t help it 🙂
