“…The Same”

I clearly remember when we (Sean and me) got our first wall-mounted TV. It was well past the time they first came out but I had just paid off a credit card and there were still papers in the waiting area at Olive Garden. Bright and the front page was a TV that they had priced and looked at with a friend at Best Buy! It was thousands of dollars but I knew I wanted it so I had them print out the specs and I sat and them for about three or four years. But looking at the sale paper, I saw the exact same TV for $899! I looked at Sean and asked him if he wanted to buy a TV tomorrow! We were going to an appointment to speak with the dental surgeon who was going to remove four of his molars. His 12 year molars. That was to make room in his mouth for his other teeth. These teeth needed to be removed before he got braces.

Sean was excited for that and the next day, we bought our TV. So, Sean must’ve been 12 and currently, he is 20. my TV has begun to blink and sometimes the sound will go out for a little while. In other words, my phone is dying after eight years. It has been blinking like that for months and just recently, it was blinking more often and The screen is pixelating. After some serious budgeting, I was able to get a new TV this past November. This morning, while I was still asleep, it was delivered and installed. The man had already left by the time I woke up and my Mom came to get me out of bed. I just finished washing my hands when I said to my Mom, “I have a new TV!” Went into the living room and turned my chair around to look at the TV on the wall. It looks the same! But, they no longer make 46 inch TVs so I have a 50 inch TV now. It looks a little bit bigger than my previous TV but it still is the same!

When I looked at the TV, I saw Collins say, “It tastes the same.” I first heard this song with my cousin Shannon. It was the Broadway cast and we both sing along to the entire show! When Brent came out in a movie, that’s the only version I can find on YouTube but even though the words are a little bit different, I just love hearing the guy from Law and Order sing!:

I still have to input my Wi-Fi password and the passwords for my streaming apps but I don’t know if that’s going to happen tonight or tomorrow. Tomorrow is a BIG day that I’m NOT looking forward to thinking about… 21 years with MS. 😒😒😒
