I like making plans. What about you?

There’s nothing like it. You can let your imagination run wild! The next journey, an exciting project, cooking a big family meal, how you’re going to change your life radically, world peace!

Two days ago, I planned to finally migrate to my new laptop. It’s faster and has more storage. What I’m seeing right in front of me is a message from Apple telling me that a programme is “transferring your information” from a back up disk to my new laptop. Apparently, it’s going to take just another 9 minutes. The problem is, I don’t trust this message anymore. It’s the fourth time I’m trying this. I even left it running for an entire night and when I looked at it the next day, it still needed another 6 minutes.

Planning is great. It’s the implementation and delivery that is often disappointing.

Over the past week or two, we have been making plans for the post-Schön-Klinik-time. We have talked to people, looked at different options, and have decided that we would like to organise the post hospital phase of his treatment in our apartment. For that, we will have to find another apartment and then move, soon. Although we haven’t been given a date for Pádraig’s discharge from the Schön-Klinik, we know that it’ll happen within the next couple of months in all likelihood.

Then again, plans never work out, do they? – The message on the screen of my new laptop is telling me know that it’ll take another 22 minutes “Transferring your information”.
