A question a day
Feb. 26th, 2026 07:49 pmWhen you leave your home, what essentials do you have with you?
It's one big thing - my bag. My bag contains:
- Car keys
- House keys
- Mobility scooter keys
- Phone
- Hand gel
- CBD oil
- Pack of paper handkerchiefs
- Noise dampening loops
- Wallet
- Pen
- Notebook
- Hair-tie
- Chapstick
- Three of those silky reusable carrier bags that fold down small
- Pill box with painkillers that need to be taken three times a day
- Bottle of Lactase tablets - in case I'm going to be eating anything containing lactose
- Sheet of Mebeverine tablets - in case the lactase doesn't work or I eat something else that doesn't agree with me. (I have IBS, this happens a lot.)
This is after I reduced the size of my bag and deliberately pared down the contents to essentials because my previous bag was hurting my shoulders.
I don't want to have to think about what I might need every time I go out, so I try to have everything I might need all the time.
