Life flying by

I'm still locked out of my main computer and another week has gone by, almost unnoticed, spent with menial tasks, very few of which brought any satisfaction. Writing proved very tough under such circumstances. Especially Tolkienfic would require an inspiring environment.

I feel I am too old to waste my remaining years (if I still have years, that is), with retirement still looming years away on the horizon. But I do have to pay the bills somehow. That is the sober truth, and I can be glad to still have a job at all.
