I just got home from the barn

I fed the horses. I picked up manure. I put on the horses' blankets.

I'm now about to make dinner.

Up until yesterday my next action was pretty clear. Today, not so much.

Should I wash my hands before I make dinner? I'm feeling kind of libertarianish at the moment.

What do you all recommend?

...while you're at it, consider these wise and useful actions:
- find out if you can get de-vaccinated.
- check with your surgeon to see if he put those kidney stones back in.
- stop wasting all that money on toilet paper.

Or something like that....



On a related note, I've brought cookies and other treats out to the barn many times snd not a single farrier EVER washes up before snacking.

So there's that.

and sit around the barn eating them, inside or out. Also as a young adult. Also as a riding instructor, the barn would bring in donuts and coffee. Just scarfed it all down. Never washed up before hand. 3 second rule, maybe?

Now doing hooman pee and poop is different. We're dirtier critters than horses by far.
