Thought this was a pretty normal difficulty for a Monday, but the fill seemed really clunky...

spoilers

Too many unnecessary plurals, several of which took crosswordese answers and made them worse by adding an S just because: MEDAYS, NOOKS, ROOS, RENTS (clued as a plural noun instead of a verb?), ETAS, SSNS (!), and more.

The rest wasn't great either. USHAPED USTOO ORALB etc. Mondays are supposed to be cleaner than this...

Yeah definitely a lot of plurals.

I found the theme to be alright.

Yeah - it took me a minute even after finishing the puzzle but was somewhat rewarding. Hard to do a good theme on a Monday, but this was an ok one.
