@karmicbias tagged me for a 'what's in your bag' and, well... the only bag I carry daily is my work bag and that sucker has needed a clean out for a minute LOL WHOOPS
if anyone ever feels their bag is chaos. it cannot be worse than this
step 1: I need to get a smaller work bag. that might help
step 2: contents
ima list things as I organize and put them back/throw away
wallet
business card holder (which i use as my wallet on the weekends/at shows and events)
exploded mini first aid bag which has been repacked and includes: band aids, dayquil, pimple patches, mucinex cough drops, three packets of electrolytes, emergen-c packet and triamcinolone cream
tattoo gel and extra sheet of saniderm from my last tattoo
keys
tums, generic excederin, and two empty pill bottles (antibiotics, weeee)
two types of mints (ginger for nausea, chai also for nausea when ginger is a Bad Taste)
two stamps
lip gloss and mascara for meetings i forgot about when I can't look like a sewer rat
hypoallergenic perfume to go under my nose (healthcare workers iykyk)
my special arthritis pen and a sharpie
my spoon because my mother took too much Tylenol when she was pregnant with me and the cafeteria spoons taste weird and don't fit in my mouth
self defense stick
two masks
my COVID vaccine record sheet
my lens kit
my foreign body removal kit
my badges on my reel
check book (what is this, the 90s??)
curl cream for work refreshes
no you're not seeing things that is a bottle of holy water; my mother keeps finding ways to put it back in my bag when I return it so I just leave it there (#catholic core)
two doses of lacrifill for patients I'm treating tomorrow and lacrifill office papers for said patients
various assorted mail: bank statement, mail in ballot, two birthday cards (from March, lol)
receipt from my rheumatologist
three cashed checks, a shopping list, a fax cover sheet from my kids pediatrician and two drug rep business cards ill never use
my mom's urgent hematology paperwork that I faxed and keep forgetting to give back to her
oh and the folded up whiteboard drawing from DIR because I threw it in there not wanted to explain to my students what that was because my desk is open season
step 3: tagging
I am a social vampire and if you do not hold me by the face, look directly in my eyes, and tell me to tag you in things, I will not do it because of who I am so if you see this and wanna share (or need an excuse to organize) please consider this as me tagging you 🫶
my life is a mess thank you for coming to my tedtalk ahshshsh
