I missed my cat Wolfie sleeping on my pillow. However, my itchy eyes went away for the week. Hmm...

I get antsy if I don't have two or three quiet hours on my own in a day.

Also, my mattress. Best I've ever had.

Now that I'm old I don't really enjoy traveling that much. I like being home where everything I need is at hand and I can relax.

I miss home cooking. I’m a decent cook in my own right, but if I’m away from home, I’m not motivated cook just for myself. Sometimes, however, I I’ll get ingredients for making something good if the hotel room has a stove.
