Lockdown Diaries: This Shit Ain't Easy!
This is my 7th day trapped inside my house of the lockdown in my island and let me tell you something, THIS SHIT AIN'T EASY! Jeez! I didn't knew being inside your house 24/7 was so difficult! We can only go out to the supermarket, pharmacy and some restaurants... That's basically it! All this COVID-19 and this lockdown thing has me very anxious. Knowing I can't do the things I do normally is very stressful and nerve wrecking. I'm used to eat the things I want and to be sincere I eat outside more than I should.
So... Like the rest of the world I'm being forced to cook every meal in my house and find 100 ways to be busy and not end up escaping... which is a terrible idea cause if police catch me I can end up 6 months in jail plus have to pay a fine of $5k... I just made a new saying "If I can't go to the restaurant, I will be the restaurant!"
Breaded Tofu with orange sauce salad
Every meal I make I try to make it not only delicious but also pretty. Now, I have to admit I suck at making the food pretty but I nailed the delicious part!
Spinach dobladillas
Meal after meal, even some cravings. Trying cooking the things I normally eat outside. Some are very easy to cook, for my surprise. Like this fried rice. It even taste way better than the one I eat in my favorite Chinese restaurant!
Fried rice
Not everything I do is eating, I also been cleaning all I find like a maniac. I discovered I'm a "baby hoarder" cause I save so much stuff in my drawers and closet that I don't even need. I throw many stuff into the trash can and I still finding new useless things everyday. Also now I don't find a thing in my room...
An empty laundry basket is happiness!
I have a sweet tooth so I'm making all types of desserts...
Pancakes filled with nutella and strawberries
For some reason and thankfully I still in the same weight... Really hope I don't end up rolling instead of walking!
Hi, I'm Happy the parrot. Nice to meet ya!
Oh and my sister got a baby parrot! Is a ringneck and I named it Happy! It always look at me with lovely eyes and happy face, so Happy it is!
Fresh coconut from my backyard
Also, my mom got some coconuts from our backyard... thankfully she didn't had to climb the palm ahahah
Fettuccine alfredo... there are some broccoli under all that
So far I managed to not lose my sanity ahahah 7 days in this lockdown, 7 days to go and if this virus keeps spreading the lockdown will be extended and thats probably when I will lose my shit!
Macaroni with grounded veal and veggies
I've been playing a lot in the exchanges making some moves here and there. Hope all the cryptos I bought keep being steady and starts to raise soon. Also, being single in the middle of a lockdown is a terrible idea... just saying! Hope we can all survive this thing and all this end up soon. Stay safe y'all!
Chocolate chip cookies topped with whipped cream and strawberries
Now I'm hungry. Appears to be great food you are building in the kitchen, and I disagree, you are good at making it look good. I know my Octobrät sandwich way back in the days of cooking challenges wouldn't look so good no matter WHAT I did to the silly thing. Sigh of largeness.
Glad to hear you are doing relatively well in the home stay department, if not a bit bored. You can go outside, can't you? If you stay away from people...like for a walk? Or are they curtailing that too. We can here, just stay far afield from others. But some bozos keep going out in public in large groups and they finally had to tell a bunch of folks to stay home and quit going to the coast to spread their germs in public in the small towns, Cant' say as I blame the folks living there. Things are going along well here, I've watched a LOT of movies, and HH and I laugh a lot. What else is new, I suppose. That is one advantage we have each other to drive nuts. A double edged sword, I suppose. But things are doing well anyways. I NEVER get tired of eating O :
Stay safe and well and keep your head down. It WILL be over one of these days. Cheerio(s)
Hey DD! I still remember your ants on a log! hahahaha We can go out just if we go to the groceries stores, pharmacy, gas station, restaurants and things like that. We cant be outside walking or doing normal stuff, if we do it we can get fines up to $5K and/or jail... specially after 9pm when the curfew starts. So we have a partial lockdow from 5am to 9pm and curfew from 9pm to 5am.... complicated life! hahaha I've been watching movies from the year of my birth and I must admit, they are weird! No idea what they were thinking ahahaha
I'm glad you and HH are finding ways to have fun, that's always important to never lose the happiness! Stay safe over there. Give a million hugs to HH!
I miss my ants on a log. Glad you remembered those. That's amazing you can't go outside away from people. Though maybe that is hard there. I don't live on an island. But we (I think), can go to the woods and stuff in our cars. Just don't go near people. And we have a LOT of woods...
But then we aren't on a true curfew either, just a stay at home. Just don't get that fine, yikes. It would really eat into the snack pack budget ( :
Looking at movieola picture machines of yourself when young sounds fun. All ours are of the electric train going around in circles on the floor. Not too exciting a-stuff. Keep having fun and smiling big, and stay healthy, D
Well we are in shutdown, not lockdown. So I am still going to work but since I am in retail, there is the added paranoia of being exposed to every bored creature wandering the streets.
Your food looks great!
I am not cooking much yet, I have tons of cleaning and organising and gardening to do although it's raining a lot at the moment so I am just being a lazyass and chatting on discord all day. I recommend the latter
Hahahah I'm starting to hate the kitchen! You have to wrap yourself very good, people is careless and this virus is spreading too quickly! Please, be safe!!
We are just about to go on lockdown for three weeks ourselves so that point is now moot, thankfully
I hope all this ends up soon and that we remain safe. Those numbers are spiking here too quick and people is outside like nothing. Humans never follow instructions!
Hi there
I've been reading through many comments related to new hive chain and I've seen your comment too. Many users are being torn, however majority seem to be moving to new hive.
Are you fully moving there or will you stay on both chains? Just curious. I'm trying to figure out what to do myself.
I will still be here while I powerdown. I need to do that for other reasons than the fork but I will keep curating here for now. I also haven't fully decided but I am part of a curation project that has abandoned steem so most of my activities will be there
That's not much of an answer so I suppose it's just wait and see
Big Thx for your reply. I think i will stick around on both chains for time being.
I also figured that you may find this post interesting and worth your time:

It's post published by good friend of mine and I'm helping him to promote their curation trail.
