I was early to bed last night, which was nice because I'd been building up a bit of a sleep deficit lately. I got up early hoping to get to the grocery store and then take my car in to the mechanic. I did get to the grocery store, but of all days, my wife needed the car for an appointment, so I held off on the mechanic. I will take it in tomorrow.

It was nice getting my shopping done so early though. The only downside is not everything is stocked at that time. But other than one small wait, it was fine.

Plus there are fewer people out then. Despite limiting people into stores and social distancing, I still find there are often too many people around.

Things I'm grateful for:

• Extended store hours
• Crowdless shopping
• Ranking up my mask wearing skills >_<
