Did you mean "presently" or "at present".
Just wondering.

"Presently" means "at present" when used in the present tense. This
is the older and still more common use of the word. When used in the
future tense, it means "in a little while." For example: "Bob is
presently a buffoon, presently he will be a bigger buffoon."
