Amazon Does Not Give Me My Fix

It's 4:07 a.m.
This week I have had a virus, two asthma episodes, a biopsy, and I have traveled over 600 miles to see 6 grandchildren who got strep throat before my return.
I have been playing catch up today, Easter.
Because I have 4 baskets to create, a confirmation, a baby shower, a get-well-gift, and a first communion too.
Oh, I forgot the birthday parties.
Two of my grandchildren are turning 11 and 13 this week.
Catch up meant I had 8 hours to travel  from store to store,
actively seeking anything that is left.
One chocolate bunny?
Two barrettes?
A cross with a slight break?
I would have just "Amazoned" it,
except 
Amazon
never gives me the 
Shopping Fix I need.

Hectic week which would have been so much more slow-paced if I had not gotten sick and stayed sick for five or six whole days.
