You wake up in the early morning, at your normal time to rise, with a sensation that your sleep had been disrupted hours earlier. Maybe you have a semiconscious memory of what went on. Maybe it was all just a dream.
You weren’t dreaming.
You see that you have been sharing the bed with Boy Kitty/Cheeseburger.

The Flying Cat Toy
Background: Our cats are not sold on toys from the pet store. Those come home and are often ignored.
Our cats were able to strip the pink fish away from some sort of flexible rod that used to dangle it above the floor.
This item may have been pressure treated with catnip, because it has always been fun for them.
Cheeseburger flips this toy up into the air and across the room over and again. A toy not intended to fly becomes a flying toy.

The flying cat toy lands on the bed while people are trying to sleep. The bed becomes a cat playground at this point.

A few rainy days in our area.
Years ago, we would eat out more often, now, more of that happens at home.
Recent:
Pizzas made at home- no two are alike.
In the past:
Did some time on Okinawa and brought back a desire to do fried noodles at home.
We did this one with no meat or seafood.
Add meat or seafood anytime you want.

Occasional Visitors/Still Looking for Bigfoot
Really like the jalapeño cheese bagels at Safeway.
Normally pluck out one or two and they go into a plain paper bag similar to what we carried for school lunches back in the 70s.
Yesterday, these plastic bags were stocked in place of the regular paper ones. I am confused now about what version of bags are meant to be used or avoided based on saving the planet. In the 70s we were taught not to be a litterbug. Recycling was a thing.
The plastic bagel bag was a dandy for cleaning out the cat litter box today. We promise not to throw it all out the window as we blast down the highway, or leave it at the beach next time we go out.
We promise not to leave the bag next to the trail and never go back to pick it up next time we go for a hike.

Ultra Lightweight Produce Bags
Give the planet a break and reach for these super lightweight, environmentally-friendly produce bags. Use caution when loading sweet potatoes, ears of corn, bananas, etc. Using two, three or four of the lightweight bags creates enough strength to recreate the use of the old bags that were not OK for the global environment.
Also, be sure to allow plenty of time and patience to pick away at the proper end of the bag in order to try and get it open. Using several bags for a few sweet potatoes requires the attempt at opening the bag steps to be repeated multiple times for the same size produce purchase.
Took a look on the web to see if others were sharing on this topic. No such luck. Independent thinking and blog posts appear to have been scrubbed away. The web is now about trying to sell you stuff.
Possibly of interest:
A local Mom and Pop’s restaurant is still using the banned and evil plastic bags that are best suited for their customers to carry home hot menu selections.
See the bag we were given at the restaurant here:
