That's so sweet of you for asking! Let me take a second to lay it down on the table.

- Q-TIPS!!! I produce enough ear wax to fill all the candelabras in Dracula's castle. I know they are lightweight, but I've never packed out a q-tip on trail.

- White sheets and worn in pillows, (hey, that sounds like a good album name). I also miss sleeping in on Sunday's with my handsome face while binging on Netflix and frozen pizza.

- Original Joe's meatballs... Enough said

- Actually, almost all the restaurants and bars downtown SJ: Good Karma and my favorite vegan Ryan, Chachos taco Tuesdays, Mosaic's happy hour with Danielle, Stritch and the entire crew, Paul over at 55, the Cinabar, the Caravan, the Continental and that damn good mezcal Bloody Mary downstairs... Oh, and of course, Ozu SUSHI with Jeff and Steph while we wait for Chris to get off work.

- I miss shooting the shit with my amazing big sis on the back porch with a few fancy beers and organic cigarettes.

- I miss walking down a street where people know my name.

- Music.

- Electric toothbrushes... The first step in going light is to cut your already tiny toothbrush in half. It's been over a year point five of this nonsense and I'm ready for a big fat vibrating cleaning machine to wipe my sins, I mean plaque away.

- I miss my Momma, I miss my Poppa, I miss Laura and Mr. Gibbs... I miss my family, I miss my friends (especially those two loco ladies Nadia and Bianca), but in a tolerable way. This time apart strengthens my love and deepens the appreciation.

- Smelling good... Or just not smelling at all.

- Mostly though, I miss my baby, my love bug, my sugar, my spice, my everything nice. I miss your voice, your smile, your freckles, your toes. I miss the way you stare at your hand and snore through your nose. I miss you so damn much it's getting hard to continue on this hike. I bought a ticket back today, and even skipped a few miles along the way. Adventure, hiking and all these new experiences are still great... I'm coming home in three weeks, you better save the date!!!
