Where on his body might he start bleeding during a triathlon? If it is a wide enough place (leg, arm, back, etc, as opposed to toes/foot areas), use a small menstrual pad or panty liner (can be folded in half to minimize length) under the gauze wrapping (of course wrapping with bandage to cover from view). It is made to be extremely absorbent. When my dad was a fireman, they kept maxi pads in their first aids kits for this very reason. dewryce I always buy small packages of Immodium in the blister packs so I can carry a few of them in my purse. It's easier than toting a whole bottle. Thank you! I will tell him that and maybe he’ll be okay adding it to his kit. I also need to carry a variety of pain meds and a muscle relaxer too. So I purchased this pill box, went to work with my label maker, and it is perfect. I’ve been using it for years and haven’t had to change a thing. It transfers from purse to purse to manbag to cargo pockets. I’m more likely to leave my wallet behind than I am my pain pills box. DOH. Just realized you were referring to for DH. Yes, he has one of these boxes in his transition bag along with a tiny first aid box. And I use the blister packs of a couple meds in his bike bag, including Imodium. You’re right, they’re perfect!

We re-did my girls room, last weekend. Our garbage bin is overflowing, our recycling bin is overflowing, loads have been taken to value village and I’ve sold a bunch of stuff. This is the most I’ve felt accomplished in a long time.
Drawback is the bins bins for recycling and garbage only go out every two weeks. One more week to go with the bin already full. Grrr

Cleaned and decluttered the bathroom and bathroom storage shelf (directly outside the bathroom door) this morning.
Holy heck.
Apparently I have this magical power that no one else possesses: Throwing away empty shampoo/conditioner/shave gel/shower gel bottles.
Also tossed eleven toiletry fails. Bottles of shampoo/conditioner that were tried and no one liked, so they sit on the storage shelf "just in case."
They had dust on them. No one has touched them in a long, long time. Trashed.
I also made sure to move all the plastic bins holding the toiletries, to wipe down the shelf itself. It was dusty because it's easily forgotten.
And the funniest part of all this is that no one but me will notice the decluttering.

After 23+ years of being a SAHW/M, I started a FT job at the end of July. So, I am simply trying to keep the house clean, my family clothed, the furry members of the family cared for, and everyone fed. So, I decluttered a college career for at least one semester. Really having a hard time with the necessity. Our old vacuum cleaner bit the dust yesterday. So, it was decluttered.

Wear it when you are decluttering Seriously, whenever I would go to my in-laws when my SILs lived at home tnis is what I had to deal with in the shower. And they’d fall and it drove me batty! Fortunately neither DH or I have that issue. They might not notice but you can go and open it and stare at it whenever you are overwhelmed with other areas of your home. Have you considered before/after photos? I am always so excited to get started I forget. If you want to post the after we will “ohhh and ahhh” for you.

It’s one thing when it’s your choice, but I’m sure it’s much harder and more frustrating since it is by necessity. Buy yeah, no pressure to declutter now for sure. They have food and clean(ish) clothes? I’d call that a win. I hope things ease up for you soon.
