Three 36-count bottles of Amazon Basics 81 mg orange flavored chewable aspirin. Back in the Dark Ages, this was known as "baby aspirin." Now that the Baby Boomers are senior citizens, the only place in a drugstore you can find "baby aspirin" is in the old people's medicine section. Their cardiologists tell them to take it to avoid the naughty platelets from making a widowmaker clot. Deivery tomorrow, which is JIT because I have one tablet left.

A box of 48 pairs of Amazon Basics disposable diapers, extra large. Have trouble leaking urine. Told by the doctors that they could give me medicine to dry up your leaks, but the doctors commented they also clog up your guts. Decided my guts needed something clogging them up like a hole in my head. They will arrive tomorrow before noon.

amazon.com:
Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker for my bedroom. Love the one that I have in my business room, use it nearly constantly. Not as cheap as the four I bought for Christmas presents and for me Cyber Monday. Those were more than half off regular price ($50). Today's was at regular price. Scheduled for delivery before three o'clock today.
While I was writing this up, I was chilling a can of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar Cherry in the freezer. Used the Echo Dot to set an alarm when it was time to get it out. Housemate tried the same thing with his beer but he didn't set a timer. There's an exploded can of Busch in the freezer. Fortunately, he put it in a plastic grocery sack to catch the mess.

RadiaCode scintillation counter and Gamma spectrometer. Only $250. I can remember such a device had two more zeros in the price!

amazon.com:
Sixty chewable berry-flavored 12 mg melatonin tablets. Only $9.99 with no sales tax because Texas doesn't tax OTC medications. Estimated delivery Thursday. Have enough on hand that I won't run out before I get the package.

amazon.com:
A box of eight Sylvania 60W equivalent LED A19 (normal size) light bulbs. Only $13.78 including sales tax. My housemate said, "Don't go buy those $6 light bulbs!" and I said they don't make the cheap ones anymore, only LEDs. It's been a while since I've bought any light bulbs other than the candelabra bulbs for the bathroom fixture in February. They were $9.99 before sales tax for a box of four and I only needed three so I have a spare in case one goes. Told housemate that LED light bulbs have gotten really cheap, the only way you can buy one costing $6 is to buy one with an "on at dark, off at dawn" photocell. He said that we didn't need that feature, just a plain light bulb. Estimated delivery date Monday. Then after I read that I thought "That's tomorrow!" Given tomorrow's weather guess, they'll probably be delivering in the rain.

Ebay:
Refurbished Samsung Galaxy XCover6 Pro "stupid phone". Looks like new. It updated to Android 14. Supposed to do 5G when it finally arrives in this market. I don't plan to buy another phone for the next 10 years.

Bella Furniture (Pasadena, TX):
A twin mattress (yesterday). That way, I won't be renting a hospital bed next month. Yesterday was my birthday, but I had to buy my own "birthday present." My housemate did drive me around to two furniture stores and back, getting in and out of each one with my walker. The twin mattress was $198 with tax, cheaper than renting a hospital bed at $251 per month. The only thing I liked about the hospital bed that this mattress does not have is the electric raise and lower controls. But I figured I could do without, after all the bed I had before I was in the hospital bed also didn't have the feature.
