Narrative:

I was landing in ZZZ after a personal/training flight in the local area. I called 13 miles out and was told to enter the left downwind for rwyxx. I reported midfield left downwind for rwyxx and was cleared to land rwyxx. I turned base and lined up on rwyxy. As I noticed my mistake; the controller cleared me to land on rwyxy - which I did rather than maneuvering back to the final for the parallel rwyxx. There wasn't any traffic around on either final.contributions to my mistake were 1) really gusty strong winds - very bumpy. The wind blew me wide on my downwind/base to final turns 2) I was complacent in checking the runway environment picture as I made the base to final turn 3) after the covid-19 shutdown and winter; I am rusty and need to practice to get better proficiency.I'm going to improve my proficiency and work on complacency that has crept into my flying.
