Mine was pretty swell. Worked hard, came home and cooked with the Mrs.
What did you do today?
Sounds like it was a productive day, good find on the meat! I don't do a lot of cooking, but I've been told that if you want to mix meats together like in a loaf or in meatballs, that it is a good idea to get the higher fatty portions because they can hold together a lot better than the lean ones.
I've been going to bed earlier too, but I've also been waking up earlier so I'm not sure I'm seeing any benefit besides having a longer morning. I really enjoy the morning time though. The hours from 3am - 6am are the best, by far. Nobody is awake, hardly any traffic on the roads, and the air is strangely still. I get some of my best thinking done between these hours, when the banks can't get to me.

Went to work, nothing to write home about. Came home, got my daughter off the bus. Once my wife got home we went to a grocery store that we first visited on Saturday. It's a little bit of a hike in a town we rarely go to, but from what we saw last Saturday it is worth it--but it was way too damn busy on Saturday. Thursday night was a better night to be there, though the meat counter was very busy and about a 15 minute wait. They had a sale on ground chuck for $2.49/lb @ 80% lean. I prefer a little more lean, but the price was right--they had 70% lean for $1.89/lb but that's just too much fat to drain off. The limit was 5 lbs so we just go that, $12.50 for 5 lbs of ground beef is a superb deal as it usually goes for no less than $3.99/lb.
It was snowing and wasn't slowing down, so we got dinner and headed home. Pissed around on the computer while wife watched TV, no big deal. I've been going to bed early all week and haven't really been seeing much benefit from it. Last night was no different, in bed before 10pm. Maybe it's for the best, who knows.
