OK
I BOUGHT it 
I took it 
OUT of the BOX
& physically set it on the DESK
BUT 
I haven't set it up or anything 
THAT
is too much for TODAY 

the guy who was helping me 
is all LIKE 
you seem VERY SAVVY 
& I'm LIKE 
I am NOT really all that savvy
BUT 
I can get by, I think

he just thinks that because I KNEW 
what I was looking for 
I did research 

I have bought laptops 
since I replaced the iMAC
BUT 
my last laptop was before pandemic
& I'm nervous about my
SKILL SET 

BUT 
I KNOW I don't NEED a laptop 
BECAUSE I CAN 
do all that stuff on my phone

I KNOW I NEED 
something for writing
because if I'm doing anything longform 
my phone is NOT all that practical 
especially since I type with 
ONE FINGER 

as opposed to the three or four that I use with a KEYBOARD 

I thought about a freewrite 
BUT 
I don't think that is my best option 

I MIGHT want to do
VIDEO
I MIGHT want to do
GRAPHIC STUFF 

I'm NOT SURE 
I want to play a couple games 
BUT 
I'm not REALLY a gamer

I FIGURE 
I NEED something KINDA versatile 
more or less GENERAL use
& I WANT an ALL in ONE
because they are sleek and not a bunch of cords
blah blah blah

BUT 
I MIGHT need more power when I figure out
WHAT'S up 
& THIS can become a monitor (HDMI)
which not everything can

I was considering the pro + mini
BUT 
that's probably MORE than I NEED 
THIS lets me add that later
if I need it

SO
it's an ASUS M-series
27" monitor
I wanted to look at the PORTS
& I'm LIKE 
is this the one with
16gb RAM & 1tb SSD

he's LIKE 
YES

SO
SEE I come off as SAVVY
BUT 
I may cry and scream 
& NEED help setting it up 
OR
it may be smooth as silk

it wasn't too much more expensive than the 
iMAC was back in 2000
although they are saying that the 
BASE model iMAC 
NOW 
is the same price as it was BEFORE 
MAYBE I got mine on sale THEN

it's three hundred more than I paid then

the only reason it was
MORE
is that I got service & ANTI virus
which I wouldn't 
NORMALLY 
BUT 
it SEEMED like a good idea
to me NOW 

27" is pretty BIG for ME 
I'm LIKE 

SWANKY 

I was gonna tackle the closet
BECAUSE 
I've been JUST 
CRAMMING sh*t in there
WILLY NILLY
since the last time I organized it 

AND
it is HEINOUS 
BUT 
I think it's gonna need to be
EVERYTHING pulled OUT

I've gotta lug the boxes downstairs 
& either OUT to the TRASH
OR
GOODWILL, depending 

SO
if I can go to bed early 
GET UP EARLY 
& deal with all THAT 

MAYBE I can FEEL like 
I really got something DONE 

I'd LIKE to get the closet at LEAST 
STARTED 

SO
THAT is 
a LOT of DEMAND for me 
we'll SEE 
HOW it goes
