And I had such plans for my retirement!

wiseheartI expected to travel a lot, go to places inside my city I never got to visit before and, of course, to write a lot.
Well, the virus (and Mum's brilliant idea to sacrifice the summer of 2019 to the stupid flat renovation) took care of the first two. And even if the virus gets under control, eventually, Mum will be hardly in shape to travel any further than Vienna or St. Pölten (not that I wouldn't take a trip to either of these places any time), and I certainly won't leave her behind alone.
But the writing. I'd actually have the time for it now - if only I wouldn't waste said time with a thousand other things but writing! Oh, I do a bit of it here and there, but it's always because I force myself to do it. It's very disappointing that I barely make any headway, and the list of planned stories is growing longer with each passing year. *sigh*
That said, I did a bit of transcribing today and hope to progress with the two or three stories that show the most promise at the moment. I'm not planning to go anywhere in the next two days (did all the shopping today), so perhaps... perhaps... if finishing the bird house quiet book page doesn't eat all my spare time.
