@Gargron@mastodon.social it's easier to think clearly about how to manage your farm after dinner before the fire while your mind wanders off to sleep than it is while you're dealing with your horse trying to kick you in the stall and the broken water pipe for your thirsty goats and pulling up the weeds toxic to your sheep growing in your pasture. etc etc. your mental energy is devoted to mostly swearing a lot in those times
