Today’s task called for me to make something strong enough to support my own weight … then stand on it.

Time was short. So I took my son’s practical advice:

Turn a few paper cups upside down, rest a board on them, and stand on it all.

This did require some balance. But incorporating a word was fairly simple (“words” are my theme for this year of creativity). And once my husband had snapped the photo, I tossed the cups in the recycling, returned the board to his wood pile, got in the car, closed the garage, and went out for dinner. No big deal.
