Silly Site o' the Day

We woke up early again, not by choice (our sleep cycles are really disturbed of late), but this meant we were out of the house by 5:40 in order to make the 6:00 supermarket opening. This morning's shop was frightening. Most folks wore masks and tried to keep their distance, except for one employee who insisted COVID was "not that serious" as I recoiled away from him then, when I asked him where something was, informed me "I don't work here" because my 6-foot rule had personally offended him. Still pissed about that one. But it was mostly that there were so MANY people choosing to do their Thanksgiving shopping at 6 AM on a Friday during a pandemic. It almost felt like a regular weekday shop pre-COVID. Glad we're home and sheltering in place once more! Among other things for which I'm thankful this season is Robin's ability to shop like, you know, a normal human being, as opposed to these men.
