I snagged the laptop cord and rattled the table next to my recliner.

•  The good: Laptop didn’t fall. Coffee didn’t spill on the laptop.
• The bad: A full cup of coffee spilled on the recliner.
• The ugly: Cleanup.

I tried to move myself to another relaxing location, like my “office”.

• The good: we have a daybed that doubles as a couch.
• The bad: the mattress is too tall for the couch function to really work.
• The ugly: Bunny is sitting in (and chewing on) the only other recliner in the house.

The temperature rose, so we went out to run errands.

• The good: we accomplished our goals.
• The bad: Store parking lots were still ice-covered.
• The ugly: I forgot my reusable shopping bags, so we ended up with three plastic shopping bags. Ick.
