To quote a book I didn't like much "Tis the best of times, tis the worst of times". I finished the benchwork for the layout and finally got a track plan I liked and knew what I needed.....and then the mess hit. I am fortunate I have a job, likely will have one for the foreseeable future and am able to work from home (and I also am grateful to those who are keeping things going and risking themselves to do it, I think of them all the time). Given other financial committments I have to my family and uncertainty over the future, it is hard for me to put out significant funds for the track I need.
The other part is I told myself that without the long commute I have each day, that I would have the time and energy to do things like work on the layout. Funny part is I work longer hours from home then I do in the office (leaving out the commute), and by the end of the day between work and the general tension around things with everything going on, I don't really have the energy or spirit to work on it, I am as tired as when I commute. Good news it is sitting and waiting and I at least can do planning for it, think about what I want
