- A bag. This is a small Kipling backpack but I have about a dozen bags I use depending on the situation including sling bags, small backpacks, big backpacks, purses, fanny packs, etc.
- Tablet. This is a Tab A 8.4 which is a small tablet with just OK specs. I would LOVE a high end 8 inch Android tablet but they really don't make them anymore.
- Packet of tissue.
- Wallet with my driver's license, military ID, and credit cards for three separate bank accounts (one for daily purchases, one for big purchases, and one that I use to pay bills with).
- Earbuds. These are middle-of-the-road earbuds but I just ordered much better Galaxy buds which should arrive sometime this week.
- A tiny ziploc bag of cough drops and mints for hubby (I tend to carry many of his EDC things because he doesn't like to put stuff in his pockets so I just carry the things he uses most often).
- A flat thing of dental floss (I don't think they make these tiny sample size floss dispensers anymore since I can't find them anywhere).
- Flowery blue LeSportsac bag used to hold all of these EDC items.
- Sunglasses (a cheap pair from Ross which I use everyday because it is so sunny here!).
- Keys.
- A tiny ziploc bag of hearing aid batteries for hubby because they seem to always run out of batteries when we are out and about.
- A couple of bandaids.
- A tiny ziploc bag that contains hubby's morning pills (sometimes when we are out and about we remember that he didn't take his pills so this keeps him on track so he won't miss any of his pills).
- A tiny ziploc bag containing a glucose tablet (hubby is diabetic so if his blood sugar crashes this will bring it back up in a hurry).
- A tiny ziploc bag that contains a short piece of nail file which I cut off from a big nail file (I hate having jagged nails!).
- A tiny ziploc bag containing hubby's evening pills (same reason as above).
- A tampon (for emergencies...you would be surprised at how many women in public bathrooms ask if anyone has a spare tampon).
- A wet wipe (these seem to get used most often to clean up sticky fingers).
- An alcohol wipe (generally used with the bandaids).
- A safety pin.
- A Fisher Space Pen (it's tiny and works really well!).
- A tiny flashlight.
- Four quarters.
- A pocket knife (I've had this knife for about 40 years, mostly used to open Amazon boxes).
- A type c thumb drive which I keep a backup of all of my computer files on (I try to back this up at least weekly).
- A tiny tube of Fixodent for hubby.
- Lipstick.
- Brow liner (for emergency eyebrow fixes...my eyebrows are so light that if they get "erased" they require an emergency fix!).
- Packet of Tylenol.
- A tiny ziploc bag of matches (rarely ever used but smaller than carrying a lighter).
- Cash (I usually carry about $150 in cash just for emergencies).
- My cell phone (which I used to take the picture). It's a Galaxy S10 which is perfect for my needs. I like the specs but have been debating if I need a newer cell phone but, #1, I don't want to spend $1000 on a good cell phone and #2, I only keep about six apps on my phone as I hardly use it for anything but calling, texting, and taking pictures; I don't even use social media on it!
That's all that I carry with me on a daily basis. I have an "EDC" type bag for walking and hiking which I will do a separate post about since the contents are different.
