It took me till mid day yesterday before I got outside. The morning was spent on my lessons, washing my clothes, and working to calm my skin that felt like it was on fire. From the shins down was like what I imagine the bullet ant glove must feel like. It's a toss up really between the Gom Jabbar pain box and the bullet ant glove. I'm glad I don't have first hand experience with either but that is the closet thing I can come up with the pain level.
My primary task for the day was to get the tire fixed on my trailer. I backed it up by the shed with the air compressor, jacked it up, then pulled the wheels off. I swapped the left for the right then got to fixing the flat.
You can see the telltale sign of the green slime that I pumped into the tire after removing the valve stem innards. I got a healthy amount of slime in the tire then after installing the stem again I got it inflated and reinstalled on the trailer. I took it for a quick drive up the road and back to get the slime to fully coat the inside of the tire and once back on the farm I parked the trailer for the afternoon to see if the fix worked.
I was walking across the garden and saw the nice signs of myco everywhere the snow has melted from. The grain did a wonderful job of growing out myco and is well on its way to growing much more now that the sun is warming it. I will end up hacking it all up when I go to till but with the amount of grain covering everuything it won't take long at all for it to re-establish.
In one of the big snows we had one of the lilac bushes by my tool shed got bent and split pretty low on the trunk. It was bent over away from the shed with a big split in the trunk and the top brushing against where 
I found a length of pipe and ran the rope through it as a sort of javelin to try and get the rope over the tool shed.
My throw made it to the roof but I was able to retrieve it and pull the rope over the top of the shed. Standing atop the shed I yarded on the rope and managed to get the lilac standing upright again. I tied the rope off to the hooks I have attached to the wall.
With how much the trunk split who knows if the thing will live, but I have seen as bad or worse damage heal over time so we will just have to wait and see.
As I sat in pain at my computer, thanks to the walking and work I did during the day, the sun was going down and I became overly aware of just how disgusting the sliders have become thanks to the boys' hands. This is on my list to get done as it is awful to look through.
By the time they got back from practice my skin was on fire even more so and it was quite hard to walk. I eventually broke down and took a 100mg of prednisone before bed which seems to have done a solid job of reducing the pain level in my skin this morning. I was able to get grain with minimal pain. I am just reticent about being on the prednisone for too long but at this point I am in too much pain to NOT be taking it. Specially since I have it on hand.
Today continues my prednisone mega dosing, I got grain this morning already and will empty the barrels after the boys are to school and it warms up a bit, I have to come up with something to keep the chickens from pecking the toms' butts bloody, have to wash the slider inside and out, and have dinner ready before wrestling practice again tonight.
