I am a pseudo planner.

I make lists, I think I have good ideas… good ideas at the time!

So.

I have had the thought of upgrading my little (18 inch diagonal) bedroom tv.

Then an Amazon (who else) S.A.L.E. and I had a 32 incher on the way.

Yes, I measured and knew my existing “stand” was not enough, but thought I’d see how things looked before making a decision about modifications, wall mount, ???

New TV arrives … it seems HUGE. But it is light and sits on the existing stand combo … but not safely for a long term thing. I went looking at various mounting stuff and finally ordered a stand (that cost nearly as much as the TV :( … )

Right.

Some assembly required. I knew that, but I admit to being a little intimidated when I saw the packs of fittings…

And the instructions…

BUT. I did not reach the age of 65 without having assembled some things!!

My last big item: Kitchen Island

ONWARD!!

I watched a video. I took a deep breath. I reminded myself that I am the daughter of a mechanical engineer…

And I took my time and assembled the stand.

New tv on top … old tv bottom.

I lived with the new setup for 12 hours and decided that it was not right for me…

So … moved the new 32 inch tv and stand to the living room, booting the dinosaur LED/Tube TV to the garage…

Baby is back in the bedroom.

I’m happy.

Good grief… Buy a new TV.

Buy a stand for new TV.

Decide all is kind of a mistake.

Plan C.

Sit with my best boys and be grateful that all works out!
