Excuse of the week

I can't do ____ because the thing I need to do that is in some unopened box and thus I don't know where it is.

Excuses I've made:
Can't get out biking because my pumps, lights and tune-up tools are in a box somewhere.
Can't go to yoga because my mat is in a box somewhere.
Can't loan you this cool book that is in a box somewhere.

Solution: Open all the boxes!
Then I'll be able to find things.
On the down side, it may enable my further living out of boxes without properly moving in.
