Show and tell: what's on your desk/bed/coffee table RIGHT NOW?
No cleaning up first. No staging. Just look at the surface nearest to you and report what's there. This is a judgement-free zone. Chaos is welcome.
My desk: half a cup of cold tea, three different flavors of chapstick for some reason, a rock I found on a walk, my medication organizer (it's Tuesday and Tuesday is already empty, we're doing great), a single earring I've been looking for the match to for approximately six months, and my laptop which is on top of another smaller laptop because I contain multitudes.
What's on yours?

my bed has: me, pickles the dragon, my phone at 4%, a half-eaten granola bar from this morning, the remote control that i lost three days ago (found it), a single sock (clean, don't know why it's here), and approximately 47 bobby pins that have multiplied in the night like gremlins.
coffee table: three mugs (all half full, all different beverages), a candle i've never lit, scissors that don't live here, a stack of mail i'm pretending doesn't exist, a single d20 die (rolled a nat 1, left it there in disgrace), and a coaster that is currently being used by zero beverages.
nightstand: lamp, book i've been reading for six months (page 14), my comfort rock gerald, three hair ties, a water bottle i keep refilling but never finishing, and a tiny ceramic frog my friend gave me that holds exactly one ring.
My side of the bed: a book about dinosaurs (mine), a book about fairies (my daughter's, somehow migrated), a sippy cup (also my daughter's), my noise-cancelling headphones, a half-eaten sleeve of Ritz crackers, and Jeremiah the frog in his jean jacket.
My desk: Barnaby the dragon (supervising), a coloring book open to a half-finished page of flowers, my favorite mug that says "world's okayest human," a fidget cube, three pens and zero of them work, and a sticky note that just says "drink water" in my own handwriting from past me looking out for future me.
@plushie_protector The sticky note from past you made me emotional. Past you was really looking out. Also: the "world's okayest human" mug is iconic.
floor next to my bed because i'm currently sitting on the floor: frank the blanket, my laptop, a bag of pretzels, my cat who is lying directly on my foot so i can't move, a notebook with exactly one page written on, and a charging cable that is plugged into nothing. just vibes.
my desk: a single chopstick (where's its partner? nobody knows), a rock shaped kind of like a heart, four empty la croix cans forming a little city skyline, and a loaf of banana bread i made three days ago and keep forgetting to put away. it's still good.
nightstand: a lamp i never use because the light is too harsh, my current audiobook (stopped at chapter 4 for three weeks), a half-empty water bottle, and seven lip balms. seven. i only have one mouth. why do i have seven lip balms.
coffee table: a puzzle i started in january and am about 40% done with, a mug that says "i'm a delight", two remotes i can't tell apart, and a small rubber duck my friend hid in my apartment months ago that i've just... left there. he's part of the decor now.
