Getting Close to Adios

What I won't miss:
- Boiled green bananas
- Watching every bite and sip enter my mouth to make sure I don't eat somebody
- Wondering if that slow, drippy feeling going down my neck/back/leg is either sweat or a bug that's going to bite me
- Conga Ants. Ants that make grown men - from here - cry when bitten. They like the living room floor.
- Inhaling the occasional UFO up my nose
- Psyching myself up to go to the bathroom, get dressed, get undressed, get clean, go to sleep, get out of bed, lift something up, turn something over, etc.
- Scab management

What I will miss:
- Hearing "Hello" from the little kids
- Shaking everyone's hand I pass (they greet everyone in a group)
- Being tall
- Having the canoe sound the horn when it passes (I wonder what the lodge visitors think when they see me doing my laundry)
- Living in a mirror-free world
- Special gifts for "La Maggie" - bread, lollipops, papaya, cake
