Following my WWSHD plan (What would Scott Hanselman do), and the fact I am going to be gone for a week, I&#8217;m packing one small bag of medical supplies.  That includes extra meters, emergency supplies and the like.  I also put my gym clothing, night clothing, and swimsuit in that bag, leaving a large bag with my actual wardrobe.\n<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easier to start out with unopened boxes, so I do that as much as possible, though I stick to taking just one back each of needles.\n<\/p>\n<p>I also plan for an extra day of medication.\n<\/p>\n<p>One of things I am adamant about is that I don&#8217;t ever run low on meds, and I always have at least a full week of meds on hand.  I really end up with at least two weeks, but that&#8217;s great, because sometimes it takes Medco (now Express Scripts) that long to get me medication.\n<\/p>\n<p>I also don&#8217;t actually pack everything but put it in a pile, so I can see if I am missing anything.  And it includes things like extra contacts, back up glasses (since I forgot mine the last trip),etc.  Anything that will be a PITA is I don&#8217;t have and even harder to replace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday morning (sometimes Saturday) is when I usually organize my medications for the week (okay, I usually work a week ahead).
