Second brushing today. I have started doing things a little differently in preparation for my road drip in California/Oregon in October. I put my floss, orange toothpaste and one tongue scraper in my new hanging toiletry tote bag.

I also put two regular (manual) Dr Plotka toothbrushes in a special component for the toothbrushes which I keep unzipped.

The scraper is in a zippered meshed component.

I now do my dental care routines in the bathroom and use the timer on my phone. In the past I used the timer on the microwave in the kitchen.

I also used to toss the used tongue scrapers (I have many) into the DW. But I won't have a DW on the trip. So I now wash the tongue scraper immediately upon use with dish soap and put it into the mesh compartment and next day it is dry.

I need to stop by a drugstore and buy a travel size bottle of dish soap and put it into the hanging toiletry bag.

I am making these changes to develop a new habit seamlessly, so that when I do go on the trip, it won't be jarring to me.
