An utterly preventable tragedy.
My mom has a bedside table, and obviously she puts drinks on it. This table has a drawer where she stores her phone, charge cables, e-cig (gross) and important appointment cards. Also wifi password bright orange envelope. (She really likes the bright orange wifi password)
When she has me bring her things, like say, a glass of water, I close the drawer. She yells at me for this, typically "Don't mess with my stuff!"
So the drawers natural state is half pulled out, kind of like a cubby.
Well, it finally happened, she dumped a glass of water into the drawer. I had actually helped her re-do her room, bed went across the room and rotated 90', that type of stuff. I put a table next to her TV and ran all the charge cables along the back of it, making it a defacto power station.
She doesn't use it. Dog poop bags (empty) mail, hairbrushes, scissors, but she doesn't use it for it's intended purpose.
I really hope her phone isn't dead, we've only got $90 in the disposable budget right now, so this is a bad time for this. At least her tablet was under her bed (Always missing, never charged)
Meanwhile mr. charge table just sits next to the TV, feeling unloved.
