I have to go to my sister's today to fix her printer.

Shower. Get dressed. Pack up backpack with stuff I might need. Put stuff in car. Drive to her house. Fix printer. Drive home.

It doesn't help that I don't know how many spoons I am starting with.

That's way too many things. Some of these things cost more than one spoon too.

That's too many things? Sounds like a pretty light day for a functioning adult. Or is that the point?

It's the point. People who suffer from chronic illness, mental or physical often have days where they can't handle all those tasks. Look up Spoon Theory
