I should have a spare flashlight in my car. This past weekend, I was really busy so I was out very early pet sitting. Needless to say, it was still dark. I used the flashlight as I was walking up to my first client's house and then I used it in their backyard. I thought I remembered laying it down on their kitchen table. On my way to my 2nd visit, I was digging for my flashlight in my large bag that I carry and I couldn't find it. This was not good. I REALLY wanted it on my next visit. As I was walking up to the house, I dropped my keys into the side pocket of my bag and guess what, there was the flashlight. I must be living right! It would be a good idea to have a 2nd flashlight in the car though. Must put that on the list of things to buy this weekend.
My work bag is so big and full of so much stuff, I should triple check it before assuming that what I'm looking for isn't in there.
