I have lately wanted to live more simply, with less stuff,
and have started paring down my belongings in my city house. In thinking about
what I would need to take with me to the church in order to quarantine there,
it has become clear that I really don’t need much.
- A pillow and sleeping bag
- A couple of changes of clothes (there’s a washing machine)
- A bowl, plate, set of utensils, and cup
- A good chef knife and cutting board, a spatula, and a big spoon
- A frying pan and pot, and probably a cookie sheet
- Food and a can opener (remember chocolate this time! Last time I had to quarantine without it. I nearly didn’t survive)
- Brio’s bed, toys, and food
- Some garbage bags
- My laptop for work
- My guitar and banjo and stained glass tools (gives me something to do in the evening, and provides sound, which would be lacking if I’m there alone)
- Maybe my sewing machine and fabric or knitting supplies so I can make Christmas presents while I’m holed up, so I feel useful
- My glasses
- Toothbrush, shampoo, etc.
- A snow shovel (which would also allow me to help an elderly neighbour)
- About 4,000 books
That's it. Nothing else needed, really.
