Plan C is the winner

By on

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!

    This made me laugh in an understanding way. Last weekend was a bathroom fan replacement day— I’ll leave out the details, but let’s just say it was not pleasant.

      Home maintenance, home improvement … always an adventure! Good to laugh when it is over!!

    Things will turn out alright in the end. If they are not alright, it isn’t the end. That’s what one of my students wrote in an essay.

    Nothing better than relaxing with the boys!

      I am saving that Margaret … a good lesson!! And yes, when all is over, i.e. the end … the reward is good.
