I have ordered several more of the cheap silk shirts I like, being pleased they're still available, 2020 being like that: the vendor is online-only and in Thailand, so things may be delayed, but it's not urgent.
ETA since two people have asked: the shirts are from SurpriseSilk.com. They're "men's" shirts, so the sleeves will be long for many women--they're long for me, but with the cuffs buttoned, the sleeves are loose, which is fine for casual wear, in my opinion.
I'm also getting another pair of slippers, because those are an absurdly seasonal product. It's the middle of October, we haven't had a freeze yet, but I know that if I wait until winter it will be too late. (The overlap between slippers I like--meaning they have some arch support, to avoid a recurrence of the plantar fasciitis, and a back so I don't slip out of them--and the size of my feet is pretty small.
That's two clothing stores out of three. I had been getting socks from a store on St. Marks Place, in Greenwich Village; I am unhappy but unsurprised that their website no longer exists, because it was the kind of store that relies significantly on walk-in business.
Along similar lines, I have (belatedly) ordered a replacement keyboard; the current one works, but one leg broke off and I've been propping it up with a pad of sticky notes.
Other than that, I've been doing more text banking, and some proofreading, trying (not always successfully) not to strain my hands in the process.

They have inexpensive shirts that are nominally for men (so the sleeves are long on me), as well as silk scarves (at a price that may be entirely reasonable, and is more than they charge for the shirts), men's pajamas, and bedding.
They have unfortunately stopped offering the shirts in either white or cream.

They are "men's" shirts, so the sleeves will be a bit long for many women, and a "medium" is larger than I would expect in a women's shirt.
