What have you bought recently?

Yesterday, I bought a set of Bluetooth wireless earbuds because Microsoft Corp (I assume) turned off audio output on my PC, presumably because I can't (and won't) upgrade to Win11.

So, I get the earbuds and they worked great until I tried to recharge them this morning. Turns out the thing you plug into a charging port doesn't fit any of the USB ports or charger blocks I have.

Why the hell do various devices have to require various sized charging ports? Why can't they be universal? I get that they need various voltage levels, but I see no reason why the devices themselves can't have a built-in voltage moderator or regulator or whatever. Surely, that's possible.


Anyway, I irately ordered a multi-port charging station today, and I'm not happy about it.

At least there's no delivery charge, because the stupid thing costs over $40. I mean, that isn't going to break me, but this shouldn't even be a thing, imo.

I bought new pair of dark blue Skechers, $110. plus tax and worth it. They feel great on my feet.

I love my two pairs of Skechers Arch Fit sneakers (solid red and solid navy) but have wanted a pair in black for about six months. Thing is, I wanted something jazzier than another plain pair.

This cute print recently showed up, and all I needed to do was wait for a price drop. So it's been loitering in my Amazon cart for a while. My patience has been rewarded with a price drop from $84 to $59, so I pulled the trigger this morning!

I can't wear Bob's Skechers - bought a pair last year and returned them promptly. I only wear the arch fit because of slightly lingering plantar fasciitis. The arch fit offer far more support.

Bob's do offer better prices and cuter prints though, that's for sure.
