WHY do I bother?

I woke up today and decided I would accomplish some things. So, I put all my bedroom pillows out on the porch to air them out ... and I left them there while I went to a friend's house to watch a movie. ( By the way, I use SIX pillows.) What was I thinking? It has rained almost every day lately, and, sure enough, as soon as I got to my friend's, it began to pour--for hours. I came home to a soggy mess which I dragged inside and tried to distribute in various drying positions. So, I thought maybe something "crafty" was the way to go. With that in mind, I went to copy something on my HP printer for a card I wanted to make...but the printer said "carriage jam".and I THINK I know what to open to get at the carriage...but, when I did that, I did not see a "jam". (At this point, I guess I should be reading the manual, but I'm not sure where it is) Anyway, I kept pressing "ok" and it kept attempting to print (while making these grinding noises)..and then it would , once again, say "carriage jam". I then got the brilliant idea to unpug it so it might "reboot" and get over its problem. That involved crawling behind a table...which made me knock over a pole lamp..which made the glass globes around the light fixtures shatter. I am looking at the fragments of glass as I write--knowing I should pick them up, but sure I will encounter yet another roadblock.like cutting my finger and getting blood on the carpet--which would only add to my "to do" list!I think that tomorrow, I will not attempt to do anything.
