Russian term or phrase: надоело следить за ним, чтобы не потерялся

- А мне он тоже не нужен, – и Пустозвон достал из кармана камушек вместе с крошками и самодельной рогаткой, – надоело следить за ним, чтобы не потерялся, – и он протянул камушек Злой Колдунье.

“I’m tired of feeling my pockets making sure I still have it,” - I'm not really happy with such a version. Could anyoune please advise something better?

Этот камушек - вроде знака отличия, его всем школьниками выдают.
