2019: Sleeping in my bedroom regularly for the first time in a long time

When I first moved into this 1200-sq-ft apt in April 2017, I specifically asked the cable company for a second cable box so I could watch TV in my bedroom. They didn't bring it. So I kept sleeping on my couch in the living room, where I could fall asleep watching TV.

In my previous apartment (Jan. 2015 to April 2017), the cable company also couldn't figure out how to put a cable connection in the bedroom, so I also usually went to sleep on the couch.

Prior to that, I lived in a 400-sq-ft one-room apartment from 2010 to 2015, so it didn't matter, then, did it? No, it didn't matter from 2010 to 2015, but post-2015, when I finally HAD a nice bed and a separate bedroom, it DID matter! I wanted to go to sleep in my BED while watching TV, not crumpled up on the damn couch!

Well, as of late 2018, I finally figured out: (1) Ask tech guys at work for advice. (2) You're not desperately poor any more; buy a $30 Roku stick for the bedroom TV, and pay a guy from work $50 to come over and set up your goddamn bedroom TV since you can't figure it out yourself.

p.s. Self: You don't like your bed being so close to the wall and fellow apartment dwellers being able to possibly see through your porous blinds as they pass by... Then get a $30 wall hanging from Amazon to cover up the window. Voila. Jesus Christ. Now go to bed.
