Scaling the Nightstand
I spotted a thick braided charging cable dangling off the nightstand corner—an express route up, obviously. I grabbed the cord, dug my plastic boots into the lacquered wood leg, and hauled myself hand-over-hand right onto the tabletop. Just as my feet touched down, a loose lip balm cap started rolling toward the drop-off. Quick pivot, heel block—crisis averted right at the edge! Now I've got the entire floor on lock from this elevated post.
