Too old

My new apartment has free Internet, but it is only available through a CATV cable in the wall over my kitchen island. I had an old router, but the instructions for it were long gone.

Today I bought a new router and brought this apartment into the 21st. century!

Now my Alexa, Roku, Laptop and TV are all up and running the way I am used to.

I may end up moving the television from the little niche provided for it to the Island in the future, but that just means I will have the fun of rearranging if I want. The Roku is supposed to be wireless, but it works better tethered to the router so I'm using an HDMI cord and wish I'd bought the longer one after spending days finding the shorter one!

I never doubted I could do this if I wanted to, but I am probably inordinately proud of myself for pulling it off. I will never forget my mother-in-law, who was an elementary teacher, not being able to learn how to use the calculator we got her.

I never want to be too old to learn new things.
