Can I have a mulligan?

What a day. It began by spilling a full cup of coffee on the notebook computer I use for work. It's toast and I'm out of action other than what the Blackberry offers. Within 15 minutes of that event, I inhaled a big swallow while sitting at our personal computer and spewed the full mouthful onto that keyboard. No harm, but another mess. Within an hour of that, I was reentering the house with a cup of coffee ( I decided I needed some air to reflect on how I was going to get my work done), stumbled on a stair and fell face first into the house. Yes, the coffee exploded from the cup and flew everywhere it possibly could, and even some places I would have deemed impossible. Three coffee disasters in less than two hours. I had planned to visit our site this evening and cut up some trees. I've reconsidered. If I can do that much harm with a single cup of coffee, then imagine what I could do with a chain saw. I'd like a mulligan, and do this day over.
