I do pretty well to stay on top of things, but lately I’ve been haunted by thoughts that I’m not doing enough to keep myself/us/our home safe. So here’s the list:

• put snow tires on my car
• buy condoms
• put together an emergency kit for the home and for the car
• notify insurance co. of all our new expensive stuff, both cars, the shed, the deck, and the water trough/sump pump reno
• take the fire extinguisher in for a check-up
• buy a carbon monoxide detector
• buy a second smoke alarm for the basement
• for krikey sake, install the first smoke alarm that I already bought!
• take a self-defense class at the martial arts studio down the street
• get Marty a knee protector before the ball season begins
• review first aid & CPR and teach Marty the basics (could make for a fun evening, really :o)
• prepare or buy a first aid kit (I don’t even think we have band-aids in the house right now – jeesh! Some nurse I am!)

And all of that is just off the top of my head!

Any other suggestions?
