I hear ya, Turtle Mommy! I took allergy shots for YEARS! My mistake, wouldn't stay on schedule, never got to maintenance dose until I started again as an adult. I think they helped me more than I thought when I quit them. Now, to start back up, have to go through to maintenance dose again. UGH!
And, talking about the mud, I loaded my 3 horse slant horse trailer with the sheet metal removed from my old barn before they put the new metal on. There is probably 1000# of metal in the back. Well, the horse trailer is parked to the side ... in the grass, which is mushy with wetness and mud. We have not had any rain for a week, so I thought MAYBE I could pull it out with my utility tractor and loader, lifting the trailer with the loader which I have done many times. Um ... NOPE! Spun tires immediately, and I was in first gear, going slow. Tried with more gas, same thing, just faster spinning. So, I quit. Guess I'll have to wait until the ground either freezes or dries up to take that metal to sell. :sad: And, I don't want to jinx myself, but if I were to have an emergency with one of my horses and need to take them in the trailer, even if I could move the trailer, I would have to unload about 100 sheets of metal that are about 16' long each. Double yuck! Knock on wood no one gets a strange illness in the next month or so.
