Well that was surprisingly efficient

I had a Sam's Club order due today. Also an Amazon order.
Pleasant surprise, they both just came. No rain at the moment, and my order all came on the same truck.
I still have one item back ordered, and do not remember if it is from Sam's or Amazon. Maybe I should open my Sam's package and see.
The Amazon package is a small back yard pool. Nothing else in that box.
Time to go open my packages.

Most of what came is just household things, but things I wanted, none-the-less.

@toniganzon It is better not to have to lift heavy stuff multiple times, as well.

@GardenGerty It's better to have the things we need. Others that we don't are just clutter.

Actually 3 packages. Two from Sam's Club. Just mundane household things. I want to get a good tarp to put under the pool before I set it up. We have lots of gravel and pokey things that I worry about harming it.

Most of the stuff was household things, but I should get busy on the pool tomorrow.

I have had pretty good luck with Amazon, most times.

I did not see tracking for my Amazon, that is why I was surprised it came.

I got to open a package from Temu recently. It was some mini things to put with the yarn dolls I'm making.

@GardenGerty Yup, it was--though the little books I got weren't quite what I was expecting, I'll make them work.

@GardenGerty Sometimes our packages end up being delivered to somebody else on our street. That's always a pain in the tush.

How big is the pool? I've been cutting back on buying and have been doing an all cash basis instead of credit card. Funny how that has made me think twice about a purchase now. My son gets packages daily since he has a business. I get to enjoy opening his sometimes.

The pool is rectangular about 7 ft. x 5 ft. just short of 30 inches deep. It has a metal frame that will support it. I got it on Amazon for less than $50. It is Intex brand. We do not use credit cards. I earn lots of Amazon gift cards, plus our income has changed this year and we have a little extra, until the hospitalization kicks in.

@GardenGerty It sounds so refreshing to have. I have used credit cards and would try to pay off before the next cycle but trying to go debtless. With all my hard planning and sacrifices this year, I should be except for my travel trailer by mid-November. It's been super hard but I see the light. I was going to sell it but decided to wait.

It is a turmeric tea that I feel helps my arthritis not be so painful.
