What I’ll Miss…and Won’t Miss

Here I am doing lists again. Read here and here if you need to catch up on why I’m doing this list.

Things I’ll Miss About Life In Wisconsin

The quiet country roads
The commute – it gave me time to listen to the upteen Podcasts I subscribe to.
The railtrail right by my house
My kayaking/rock climbing/zip lining outdoor buddy
Looking out my bedroom window at the wetlands. Very relaxing
Interaction with my co-workers. They are TOO funny
Lake Michigan was only an hour away for beach, sand and salmon fishing
Quaint Wisconsin towns like Kohler, Door County, anything along The Great River Trail
My awesome patio with a pergola and water feature. I hope the new owners appreciate it.
My cat’s vet – he is one of the “good ones” and Sybils was starting to like him.
The local meat shop
The hunt club that’s 10 min away and has awesome fish fry
Pretty much any Wisconsin fish fry
All the hard work my husband and I put into the yard & home
The little brewery that doesn’t sell food or have ice, but they have great bands on the weekends
Fellow Packer, Badger and Brewer fans. So I’ll miss Camp Randall and Miller Park.
Madison airport – for a regional, it is really nice and easy to get in/out.

Things I Won’t Miss At All, Not One

The commute – I drove 80 miles a day. It’s not so much the gas and wear and tear as the time out of your LIFE
Neighbors
Looking at ugly houses
The non-stop road construction on I-94, Hwy 26 and every other road around me
The insanely high property taxes
The lack of culture in the area
The post office that’s only open ONE AND HALF hours on Saturdays
People who drive in our subdivision like it’s a race track
“Capital Chaos” ‘nough said
Cleaning sidewalks in the winter. (Why do subdivisions have sidewalks when everyone walks in the street anyway?)
Illinoisans driving “up north”
Having three grocery stores a minimum of eight miles away. Same with pharmacies, doctors and hospitals
Non-direct flights
