"Go Bag"

 

A "Go Bag" is a bag that I keep packed with things I may need when I am out for the day. That way I can just grab it as I head out the door and know I have everything I may need for anything that may come up during the day. This saves me from having a GIANT purse.....well not that my purse is tiny by anyone's standard! Hahahaha!

For my Go Bag I usually use this fabric tote. It is a nice size and can hold magazines and yet is slim enough to fit nicely in the space beside my legs in the truck without being n the way. 

Inside I always have the green zipper pouch which holds personal items, a travel size antiperspirant because you never know when a crazy morning rush will cause you to forget *wink*, kleenex and a handkerchief - which can often be a multi purpose item! You would be surprised what you can use one for in a pinch! 

There is also a pink eye glass case from the dollar store which holds bandages in 2 sizes, safety pins, wipes and a baggie of medicines with a paper that has what they are, directions and expiry date. Just like Advil, Gravol, allergy pills and Tylenol- that kind of thing.I also need to put back in a small sewing kit. 

I have a baggie with a pair of surgical gloves because you just never know and a small bottle of hand sanitizer. I also carry a smaller one in my purse so this one is good if I run out and need a refill.

I have a fan because I am ALWAYS on fire hot. Like year round - middle of winter - whenever. I could blame it on my age but I have always had this trouble. I blame it on growing up in Northern Ontario and being used to colder weather - yeah we will go with that. ~smile~

I like to bring a spare pair of pantyhose since I only wear skirts and thus in cooler months pantyhose. I have done this ever since I got a run in a pair I was wearing in the mall- like a great big huge noticeable and uncomfortable one. I ended up having to buy a pair for quite a bit more than I wanted to spend so now I bring my own spare.

I also put in a charger adapter for the truck, some rolaids -though not a huge bottle just a couple in a wee container, a pen, usually a notebook, a magazine in case I am waiting some where and some crocheting in case I am waiting a long while or it is a long drive. I also have a plastic bag - always a handy item to have.

This go bag has saved the day far more often than I can say. And not just for me it is nice to have things in case someone else is in need of it.

I guess that is it - I toss in my water bottle and off I go!

Happy Monday!
