They say that if you happen to live long enough as you can,
Then you will most likely get to witness so many things that you never thought were ever possible
I am talking about “things” like COVID-19 and what has come out of it’s presence in our midst!
Never before in my whole entire life did I ever imagine that I could be locked down in one place and area by a mere utterance of words and an Executive order from the President
Never did I ever imagine that a curfew could be such a “horrible idea” to so many people who are used to interacting with one another
Never in my life could I ever imagine that the day will come when many of us could really get “to see” the Internet, as it is!
Most of all, never could I ever imagine myself dressing up just to go nowhere…..(eye-roll….I see you. I will explain shortly)
Our President here….finally did what so many of us expected him to do anytime
To order a “charter” of lockdowns onto us for a specified number of days, to begin with.
As the title says, we started our 14-day in-home quarantine, which is MANDATORY for all citizens, I am told but don’t believe.
So, I basically went to bed having this at the back of my mind…and all my other plans I had for the next day
Ready, mentally, for what’s coming my way these days to come!
BOOPS!!!
I woke up at 7:30AM and decided to watch an episode of a TV show….which happened to be a “collabo” between Dick Wolf’s FBI and FBI-Most Wanted shows, respectively.
Now, this I didn’t even do wholeheartedly and complete since I had a number of inconveniences that I will tell you about later
I only managed to watch the first 15 minutes of the entire span of an hour and a half!
And now, I came to terms with taking my shower, breakfast and head out to our small municipal town for some errands
See….our quarantine isn’t so clear…it’s as fluid as you may deem it to be….provided you don’t get caught on the wrong side!
Many of us weren’t in our homes fully stacked away at our TV’s or computers or beds
Here, things work differently….apparently, we have a saying that goes like, “you can’t have a first-world problem and introduce a third-world solution to end it. It won’t work.”
I left and handled all my errands…no troubles or hustles, whatsoever
Came back home and decided to call up my personal person, at the time,…to have a chat with them….which all went well!
I did have my lunch, too
And settled myself down to catch up on all these shows that I had missed for all this while….
I think I did a bit of SEAL Team and Strike Back….I can’t recall so well.
And yes….we went into the evening….
Now, perhaps, I didn’t share with you earlier is that
We have a “mandatory night-curfew”, as well
That starts at 7PM going all the way till 6:30AM!
I am told so many things happened on our roads all over the country
We will get into those details shortly….
Next up, I will be telling you about my very first
“Night of 14”!
A lot happened but I will hold it in with me, for now….
~ Are you having curfew? How is it coming? ~
Quarantine definitely has it’s challenging. If you remain vigilant and positive, I am sure you can get through it well.
😍😍 it has!!!
It’s really tough to go through a lockdown. I live in NYC, and we’ve been quarantined for months and months. I hate being stuck, but I’d rather do that than get sick or have my family get sick. Hang in there!
👏👏👏
Hang in there, man. We’ve been quarantining since March of this year. That’s before the official quarantine started and after it lifted here in Illinois. I go out every two weeks to get groceries, and that’s it. I’ll probably do that until there’s a vaccine.
👏👏👏
This pandemic really gives us a hard times but what can we do right now is to follow the health and safety precautions that being given to us by the authorities. Always be positive and be safe all the time.
😍😍 thank you. #StaySafe
Pandemic has affected almost everyone…especially to daily wage earners. I am thankful that lockdowns have eased where I live but second wave is a concern too.
😭😭😭😭
Like you, I never imagined something like this pandemic, and lockdowns would happen during my lifetime. It is something that I only saw in movies. And like you, I was able to watch so many new shows. I need to watch Seal Team again, I saw the first couple episodes but stopped watching.
😍😍 you need to, urgently!!!!
Hang in there, you’re doing awesome and I know this quarantine really sucks. It will all be over soon I hope!
👏👏 it will!!!
Lockdown sure has been challenging! I couldn’t imagine having a curfew though. I think a lot of rules and guidelines have been relaxed in the UK.
👏👏👏
I had so many plans for 2020, unfortunately we all got into this pandemic and lockdown problem. You just need to stay positive and hope for the best. Here in UK we are experiencing a second lockdown, really sad and depressing. I cannot see an end to this
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Quarantine is a challenge, I hope your country can come through it healthy and stronger.
👏👏 we are getting there!
This has been such a hard time worldwide. I am concerned that the mental and physical health fallout will be worse than the pandemic itself.
😭😭😭 it already is!!!
Unfortunately, I fully agree with you. :”(
😭😭😭
Lock down can be tough. Nice to hear your story at this challenging time. Keep on inspiring!
👏👏 thank you for appreciating.
Quarantine was difficult for us too in the beginning. It was mentally challenging it is getting a little better over here.
Ooohhhh….that is ggreeaaattttt news!!!
