I got stuck in the mud. I didn't know what to do. Never been stuck in the mud before.
Required a lot of help, in the rain, in the mud, to get out. Required a lot of patience.
Eventually got out.
What an awful feeling when the tires gave up any hold on the mud. I feel like I did it to myself. Made a mistake. That involved significant and concerted assistance to get out of. Shame. Shame. It feels like being under one of those orange keep-food-warm lights at the cafeteria long ago. Searing, broiling orange heat.
