Priority Use

For the next 5 nights and 6 days, I will be in the wilderness, hiking with only 2 other people. Yes, I know it is only 6 days, and people do this sort of thing for months at a time, but they are not me. Not to say that I can't be strong, hang in there, but, you know, I've never done this before. Here is a tribute to the old me. The me that misses such novelties as toilets and fruit. For I am sure, that upon my return, I will be an absolutely, unmistakeably, completely, 180 degree different person. In fact, I probably won't even recognize my own self. I'd better find some new friends, too. Whew...it's amazing what 6 days can do for one's soul.

Toilets
Fruit
Vegetables
Water that doesn't have to be purified
Non-freeze dried dinners
Eggs
Clean hands
Fresh breath
Lightweightedness
Showers
Non-blistered feet
Pillows
Beds

But, you know me, there's always a bright side. Here is a tribute to all of the excitements that I have to look forward to:

Wilderness
Clean air
Quiet
Amazing starry skies
Bedtime stories
Oatmeal and hot chocolate for breakfast
Exercise
Good conversation
Good company
Tranquility
No people
A true appreciation for my feet
A true appreciation for modern times

Wish me luck. I will be back soon.....but, just in case, I'm bringing an id. My mom has taught me well: she's always said it's a good idea "in case [my] body has to be identified."
