Ambition?

April 19th Prompt
by 🛸 Sum1 🗿 (709)

I guess I should have posted this last night. I figured I had the 19th thru whenever, and would post tonight, but I could be wrong. Either way, here's the prompt. I just hope it hasn't been used yet. If it has, tell me, and I'll post a new one.



Tell us about what you always wanted to do if you had more time at home. Have you done, will you do it?

         Well, I must confess that ambition has been lacking of late. Most days, I coast through, filling the time, dallying and dallying. Someone in the extended family signed up for a CraveTv subscription and they generously created a sub account for me. Yep, I've been succumbing to binge watching. I'm like a kid with a new toy.

         In the past, BC, Before Covid, I always spoke of projects I'd do if I had more time, but they didn't entail a lockdown, a stay-at-home-for-weeks scenario. This is now too much time on my hands, alone. I think I'm talking more to myself. So far, we haven't argued, or resorted to fisticuffs.

         I suppose I could paint a wall or two, but, meh, I don't really feel it. More time at home usually meant more time to myself, or more time to do something I wanted to do like travel. I'm definitely spending more time alone. The me time has accrued that's for sure. Travelling is a no go at the moment.

         My timing was way off and I purged weeks before this quarantine, so I don't have that home improvement project to keep me busy. What's left to organize? Should I alphabetize the books on my shelves? I should actually build more shelves. Perhaps I could place hundreds of photos in albums. I may read more books, but if I do that I may starve. I do get engrossed and to do this I'd need to ignore other things. My blogging would suffer. My house plants would shrivel and die. Intense reading is my summer activity. If I read a great deal now, I won't want to read then.

         Sadly, I never made any immediate short term goals. I lived day to day and that hasn't changed...much.
