Had a great weekend and started week 2 of TX today. Just rad and now my throat is a challenge. Could not eat all of my dinner and switched to rice only. Minor irritation from that. Monday and first punch is thrown. Dawned on me that no day/week will be the same for awhile. Did manage diversion by working a few hours though.
