I have my backpack! Water, salty snacks and a fully charged cell phone. I live in a small town and things are fairly close. I started with little jaunts to store and such without a timeframe. Hubby and I only have one operable car at the moment, the ol truck is in the shop. I have two teens with permits and that helps on bad days. Agreed with momtogiliana, if it's a dizzy lighthead day it may be best to call a friend My little guy takes the bus to school. That's a big help!!! Good luck. Keep us posted
