The Police - Message In A Bottle

I seriously have some things I need to do. You see, I fancy myself a bit of a diy-er, but I so am not. I like to watch how-to videos online and convince myself: “Hey, I could do that.” I’m lying to myself. And this isn’t even like when I’m lying to myself that I could fit into those skinny jeans (no), or that I can cut my hair and it will look just like a pro did it – it won’t. No, this is the type of self-deception wherein I, a person with absolutely no training or experience in the fields of plumbing, carpentry, or design, watches an expert craftsman remodel a bathroom and I think: “ooh, I should do that.” Of course, I don’t. I actually probably won’t do any of it ultimately. My general contributions to such chores are usually standing, holding, and fetching. I’m sure some of you can relate.
