My wife got a sleep headband with Bluetooth from some random Chinese company on Amazon. So far she’s been pretty happy with it, though she’s mostly a back sleeper. She says when she sleeps on her side, sometimes the headphone part bothers her and sometimes it doesn’t. So YMMV. If you want the exact brand I can ask her, though I expect most of the brands are selling the same thing.
Look up some of the Japanese lore about Tanuki (the Japanese name for the raccoon dog). It involves magic, giant scrotums, and all sorts of delightful stuff.
If you like anime, Studio Ghibli (famous for a lot of classics including Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and others) did a movie called Pom Poko, which is about tanuki. If you don’t care for subtitles, the English dub is pretty good, and the voice cast stars a lot of well known (for the time) American actors.
We used to feed our cats almost entirely dry food, with wet food as an occasional treat (no real schedule for wet, just every now and then).
But over the years we’ve had a number of cats that had health issues that were mitigated by switching to mostly wet food.
So now it’s reversed- almost entirely wet food with dry food occasionally (every couple of days or so). At least, for our indoor cats.
We also take care of a feral colony (many of which we’ve TNR’d), and those cats get dry food for logistical and cost reasons.

To piggyback on this comment - if you normally use store-bought tortillas, try making your own instead. They’re easy and cheap to make, and taste way better IMO. (Plus they won’t have all the preservatives and other additives).
All you need is flour, a fat (traditionally lard, but I’ve also used butter, ghee, olive oil, or bacon grease with good success), some salt, water, and a skillet or griddle. Some people also use baking powder, but I think it’s fine without (I prefer my tortillas to be chewy rather than fluffy).
Interesting bee fact -
In a hive that has been queenless for a period of time (long enough that there’s no way they can raise a replacement queen), one or more workers may develop the ability to lay unfertilized eggs.
Due to how honeybee genetics work, those unfertilized eggs can hatch into drones (males), which may then have the opportunity to mate with queens from nearby colonies.
I guess this is sort of a last ditch effort to propagate the hive’s genetic material before it fizzles out and dies. Which I think is fascinating.
3.11 was WfW, and ran on top of DOS just like 3.1 did.
NT 3.51 used the NT kernel, and (mostly) looked like 3.1/3.11 on the surface. NT 4 used the NT kernel, and (mostly) looked like Win95.
Win 95/98/Me also ran on DOS, though it was more tightly integrated than it was in the 3.1 days.
Win 2k and everything after was based on NT.
