You guys get along with so little. Here's what I never leave the house without, carried in a Fjällräven Greenland size S bag...:

– phone (up until recently I had a tiny Nokia dumbphone for voice calls because it sucks when someone calls on the smartphone during navigation while on motorcycle...) – wallet with home and office keys attached – a metal ring coupled to the bag strap for car / bike keys – case for glasses if I need to take them off (rarely used though) – tiny knife that masquerades as a bottle opener – bag with USB charger, power bank, assortment of short USB cables for all occasions, Arch Linux boot stick – a pen and a couple of permanent markers – travel toothbrush – lighter (I don't smoke but it makes me friends) – some lucky charms: gemstones picked by my daughter tied into a 'sausage' with some stretch fabric – T1D stuff: insulin pens in a gorgeous leather roll made by a friend - glucose meter with accessories - bag with pen needles - plastic jar with lid for used needles - pocket scale for weighing stuff to calculate carbs - glucose tablets and Skittles (great for microdosing carbs)

Not in shot: wrist watch.

Occupational therapy like physical therapy but for fine motor control (usually the hands) instead of gross motor control (like the legs). It can also refer to the neurocognitive / attentional ability to engage in complex tasks. In this context I mostly mean splints like this but it can also refer to stim jewelry for people with autism, adhd, and similar that benefit from having fidget items or other stimulating material such as a chew on hand to reduce anxiety / agitation and to help with focus. Basically if you would need it to do a desk job, it probably falls under occupational therapy, but it also includes the same skills but applied to leisure and other activities.

You might like this thing. It's a tool for self-massage, invented by a Finnish wheelchair-bound person to quite literally scratch an itch :) I have one in the sauna and love it!

I'm quite partial to my theracane but the main addition I would ask for is more diamonds.

So there are more options around! Good to know, thanks for the introduction. Easy to get hooked on these XD
