Very early this morning my new TV arrived at my door. I wasn’t expecting it until Friday or Monday. I purchased the TV Stand at the store on Black Friday. I figured I would have plenty of time to get it together. Why I didn’t start this earlier is because Perfectionism showed up and kept me frozen. Now I have my TV and in order to set it up I have to get the stand put together.
You see I have a tendency to do things backwards. I have a mild form of dyslexia and it really comes out when I am tired. Now, to get over the anxiety of putting the parts together the correct way. I have had experience in this department. I have put together 10+ cabinets that are of pressed wood. Still, this TV Stand is very important as I don’t want my new TV to tip over.
So how am I to do this project? None other than good old fashion babystepping the Flylady way. I have learn so much from this woman and that gives me courage. That is what I am doing with this stand. I was careful to read directions and put the correct hardware in place and try not to do it backwards. So far I have 5 of the 13 steps done.
