The Burning House...

femmeInterrupted · 02-21-2013, 03:42 PM

Your house is on fire and you have ONLY FIVE MINUTES to grab items (assuming your family and pets are safe), what do you grab and why?

Hollylane · 02-21-2013, 04:06 PM

My cellphone...Because I haven't memorized anyone's phone number, and Gaige would be freaking out if she couldn't reach me..

My wallet...I'm going to need my credit cards and cash, if I'm not able to return to my home, because we're all going to need supplies (food, water, clothes, litter, litter boxes..etc)

My vape kit...because I am bound to be a little stressed out...

My car keys...because I want to be able to drive us all to a pet friendly hotel

My hiking pack... it has survival tools and snacks ready to go at all times, and I can put the other four items inside...

My purse, that thing is always ready to go... It has extras of my sons meds, and my inhaler, my wallet, a book to read, a notebook with all my lyrics in it... So it has to go.

The car keys, so we can get to family when we need their support.

My laptop bag, It has the laptop and my external hard drive so it has all of the pictures I have ever taken of my kids, all my financial information, copies of my taxes. Even if all my documents burned I would still be able to access what I needed from there.

My sock monkeys, they are all together on their shelf, so I could get them in a single swipe. If I could only bring one thing that would make me smile, they would be it.

Well, my satchel bag from my side table which has my money, ids, keys, my phone, incidentals etc. would be the first thing I'd pick up.

Next would be my brand new backpack for travelling. It basically has everything in it that I would need to survive on for a few days at least (water, food, personal items, books, sentimental things, project plans, a journal, tea etc)

Finally I'd grab my vintage travel trunk that my boss gave me. It has all of my barber tools and some clothing (including a tie and the dress I wore last week).

Definitely my cat first! After that, I am not sure!

I don't assume anything. I would double-check and make sure all of my beloved furbabies are all out lol! I sleep with my wallet and cellphone, and have actually been through a couple of fires, so am definitely prepared with a rolling suitcase full of important things. If I had more time, I would throw some of the furkid's survival food in the yard, grab the photo album amd my Mom's ashes, because that is all I have left of them, and maybe my framed degrees. I could find shelter, food, clothes, etc., afterwards.

I have two expanding file folders with my most important papers in. (I also have copies of said papers at a family member's house just in case the front door and closet is not accessible.)

I know it sounds silly, but I would have to take a night shirt my sister gave me right before she unexpectedly passed away.

A small packet of Jacob's pictures and footprints, etc.

My purse that has just about everything in it except the kitchen sink.

Five minutes is a lot of time if you think about it....

1) All of the photo albums. This will require a
wheelbarrow and several trips!

2) Our important papers that are ALWAYS kept
organized and all together in the secure and
state-of-the-art container that we never get
around to purchasing. :/ Yeah, that one.

3) Cell phone.

4) Purse that has just about one of everything in it!

5) Tina.
