What is on your nightstand right now?
The question says it all!
On mine, it isn’t too exciting. I have an empty teacup, tissues, a stuffed animal, lighter, water bottle and (mostly academic…) books that I need to get around to reading.
So, what’s on yours?

My nightstand is a trunk that I painted turned up on one end.

I bet all the girls want you to wear that officers hat, do you feign a little Russian accent too when wearing that cap? ;-)
A glass of water on a coaster, a bottle of lotion (for my hands, you pervs!), a lamp, and a stack of maybe 10 books. Most of the books are about either fungi, language, or social history. (The stack of books isn’t usually quite this high, BTW.)
What’s a nightstand? Must be a USA specific term I think. Is it the same as a bedside cabinet?
@Coloma, you’ve got it backwards. I get all the girls to wear the hat instead!.
The actual bedside table. Out of the things on it here, I only have the LED alarm clock and my Mom’s picture on it now.
@Jude: That is one serious boxspring and mattress. Nice photo of your mom.
@Fiddle-: Nice roses. Where is that?
Update; Milo is sitting on my nightstand at present.
She’s comfy, Gail. :) Go through the photos, you’ll be able to see video of Frankie and the kitty.
Here is the album.

My bedside table is a dresser, my bed is high. I don’t have the time even to list what’s on it. Right now there is also a snoopy kitty.

muppetish That’s so funny that you have the complete works of A.A.Milne and I have his autobiography. What were the odds,lol? I was curious where A.A.Milne got his great sense of humor and gentleness from. Seems they were both due to his father. He absolutely adored his father. If you like Pooh you should read this
