Thank goodness for my commute

ok often I wish it were 1/2 length, but the empty car sure is a good place to let out the frustrations. I am of the opinion that no good would come of listing them to mom but I am sooooooo tired of her career of being sick. Yeah I know she didn't infect her jaw bones, but she did choose to have 3 elective surgeries in maybe 20 months. Weaken our immune system anyone?! This is after working with little germ bags for years and running to the Dr for antibiotics every time a cold she picked up from one of the them lingered.


The knees were reasonable but I don't know why other than wanting to be laid up she had the H and bladder tuck so soon afterwards. Oh and the strong IV antibiotics that might have cleared up her bone infection by now were giving her dire rear -- so do you think she took the broad-spectrum probiotics I offered her from the horses? Do you think she went to a diet that would have been easiest digestibility. Oh HELL NO , wouldn't want to risk taking something not labeled for people OR give up making high fructose corn syrup the mainstay of her diet. I have tried to be understanding that food is one of the pleasures she has left with the jaw pain, but I bought her some better stuff -puddings at least made with sugar etc and she didn't eat them. I ate some of the pudding and it was pretty tasty, this was not -here eat cardboard flavored health food.


I am crabby today because I am tired of having to dunk hay but there are still many many bales from the stacks she bought this summer that NEED to be dunked to be feedable at all, and I don't want to pitch much of the hay --genius paid the per bale price they were giving to people picking and choosing minus a whole $25 per stack. That is WAY under a 10% discount and it is way more than the top (10th) layer of bales that is affected, the bottom bales are maybe useful at 60%, a good portion of the top bales probably shouldn't be being fed to equines even with dunking (but knock wood the ones I'm feeding it are doing ok so far) and then probably 20% of the next few layers is crap. I'm feeding generously to encourage them to pick and choose through what I give them, so there is probably hardly any savings versus if I had told her to just buy full price 2008 hay. She USED to be able to discern hay quality and be VERY capable of asking for a good deal, but (pain) drug addled brain was not up to it and I didn't know that this summer.

Oh and the topper is I asked her to get me a bottle of diesel stabilizer. I told her Stabil is one brand. Good thing I was too tired to get diesel last night. I might have just dumped in the gasoline stabilizer she bought. Probablly wouldn't have hurt the diesel but I had thought I might just dump the liter in even though it treats up to 80 gals, so I might have tossed the container and never known that I did NOT have protected diesel. Gee thanks mom, way to make the effort to say the extra two syllables when you ask the store help for the product.
