aches confident good hours next point react second smash thinking today
Today I didn't feel anything. There were o aches and pains, no twinges. Second point going up for the smash I'm thinking this could hurt, but fortunately it didn't and that's a good sign. The next 24 hours is still important, but I do feel confident that I'll react okay.
