Thursday Thirteen #456

Well, this is random. Amazon is top of mind because they're having a Big Spring Sale. Here are the contents of 13 recent Amazon deliveries. 

1. RoC Retinol Night Serum Capsules. Only I don't use it at night. 

2. Toe separatorsOkay, maybe this is weird. I noticed in the tub that the big toe on my left foot – the foot with the bunion – rubs against the next toe. Who knew that a company name Welnove makes a little blue washable toe separator?

3. Ethernet cable. It is what it is.

4. 48 tubes of lip balm. I put these in the blessing bags I give local panhandlers.

5. Small plastic litter pan. This is not for my cats. (I mean, small? For Roy Hobbs?) It was sent to an animal shelter in Kankakee for their supply drive after the March 10 tornado.

6. Nike Revolution 8 Shoes. Still breaking them in, but I'm hopeful.

7. Compression socks. Seems I'm fixated on my feet lately, doesn't it? These help with the heel pain I've been suffering due to disc issues.

8. 50 blank folded cards. I use these for my Letters Against Isolation cards.

9. Airtight cereal storage container. But not for cereal. This is to prevent Roy Hobbs from tearing into the bag of cat food, gorging himself, and throwing up. Yes, he's smart. But I have opposing thumbs and can work the latch!

10. GUM dental picks. I could have purchased these at Walgreen's, but it was a bit of a walk and the weather was challenging and I had another Amazon delivery coming anyway and oh, what the hell.

11. "This blanket is a hug to you." I had a purple one sent to my Cousin Rose after she had knee surgery. She took a selfie using it, which made me happy.

12. Organic honey and oatmeal cream. I ordered this to treat a raised red patch on my arm. I don't know what caused the rash, but this seemed to work. (I seem to respond well to oatmeal in these situations.)

13. Air purifier for the bedroom. I don't know that my air needs purifying, but it can't hurt, right?

Do you often come home to Amazon packages on your doorstep?

  1. Hi Gal! Another interesting post! I love the idea of "blessing bags" for homeless! You are always doing things for others. I love that! Have a great day!

  2. I got a thing that pins one toe to another. I have a leaning toe, so to lean it the other way... I don't shop Amazon often, often, but I do often enough. Luckily, I have been given permission to share someone else's Prime, so when my microwave egg steamer breaks (due to exploding egg, the third one to break on me) I can replace it. Mostly I get these migraine pills that really help when I'm getting a migraine.

  3. You may find the air purifier very helpful at times. Mine is a lifesaver.

  4. I'll be curious if the air purifier makes a discernable difference. BTW: check out this post: https://www.kwizgiver.com/2026/03/the-non-challenge-gratitude-challenge.html

  5. I like your list. I need to get some good compression socks for my next flight. I like to get order from Amazon. I like that I can easily return things at my laptop cal Kohls. My back has been bothering me lately because of a bulging disc. I got sone cream to try out. Have you ordered any from Amazon. Can you share what compression socks you got?
