Needing about 100 sheets more than a truck load I asked if I could load my trailer from their pile; he said sure. so the last two days I have been hauling 20 sheets of 4x8 at a time to my house site.

Here's the epiphany, because I'm not thinking about it while working the throat doesn't hurt nearly as much. Epiphany #2 I have way more energy than I thought I had. It was actually nice to work up a sweat and get something productive done at the same time. I actually slept better last night than most nights, I expect same will occur tonight.

Yes, I'm only in week one of radiation and I'm sure it will get worse later, but even then I may not be totally worthless.

Thanks for indulging me guys.
