And given how wide open parts of the yard can be, unless you plan to just hide in the greenery you're going to want that extra time.
First, you tie your blanket around the nightstand, making a thick knot at the end opposite of its door. You plan to have the end with more wood face the window, while you weight the rest down with books and such and attempt to keep it in place with boxes. It's certainly not the most stable system you can think of, but, well, it's better than nothing. After securing the blanket you twist into the shape of the rope and then knot it to your spare blanket. Then you twist your spare blanket and tie it to your coat, which you twist and tie to several interconnected sweatshirts using each other for support. Now that rope itself is done.
Once the rope is done, you go over each knot, tugging slightly. Double checking, and then quickly triple-checking to make sure everything is in place. Given the sound of doors being thrown open and things occasionally being knocked over downstairs your time is certainly limited, but you need to make sure your rope won't just give out on you before anything else.
From there, you turn your attention to reinforcing your anchor. You quietly move over to the edge of the barricade and begin removing a few boxes from it- your books. A lot of people complain about print books being heavy and weighty nowadays, and talk about switching to a Kindle, but fuck you're glad you have them now. Your nightstand is essentially a piece of wood hollowed out to have a cabinet in it, and you'll need to fill that up if you're to have any hope of it staying in place.
You move the nightstand and books close to, but out of view of the window, and begin stuffing your metaphorical turkey. It is a monotonous but easy process, and you manage to finish it before too long. With that done, all you need to do is move the thing into place and shore it up with a few boxes around it. You will leave that for now you suppose. That would require you to move the nightstand with the rope around it in front of the window, making your aims a bit obvious, and will only take a minute or two regardless.
