It's been just three days that we've been in a total lockdown here in Nigeria as directed by the Nigeria government. Even though the Covid-19 virus seems to be spreading very fast in this part of the world already, our government just gave out a regulation four days ago requiring people to be off the streets and in their homes and this will go on for the next 11 days. Here is a delicious meal I had somedays back while on lockdown.
However, I have been quarantining and practicing complete self isolation and social distancing since last week irrespective of that new development concerning the curfew. I believe it's best to stay home and stay safe, and I hope you all have been doing the same. Coping with this while restriction thing is a difficult thing because it makes it seem like we are living the life of a prisoner. But, what choice do we have. It's better to stay safe at home than go out to risk our lives. This is the Egg sauce and boiled Yam I prepared for lunch today.
Even though I've got the whole day to myself, it seems more to me like I still don't have enough time to spend online. This is not because I don't have things to do. It's simply because the boredom itself makes me weak and too lazy to even concentrate in doing what I normally do on a busy day. It's crazy how this feels because I've always wished for more time so that I can devote and give more attention to my online activities like blogging, content creation, Forex trading and much more. Well, such is life. Maybe this is just a practical experience of the common saying that you don't value what you have until you lose them... Hahaha.
So, how have I been spending my time in Quarantine?
Just as I said earlier, I feel too weak to do much. However, I have been forcing myself to do more of blogging both on Hive, Uptrennd and a number of social media platforms. I try to make sure I write and publish at least an article daily which is awesome. I'm glad Hive came at a time like this because I already gave up on Steem even before the whole Justin Sun Saga. Hive have renewed my strength and passion for Content creation. Thanks to the team behind its creation.
Also, I have been trying out various photographic skills on my own. This is not something I have seen anywhere, but am just trying to be creative as I am still an amateur in mobile photography. I have been trying to take pictures with my phone by focusing the lens to pass through the space of a folded notebook. This sounds and look creative and different right? Yeah! This is exactly what boredom has made me to do.
Here is a local table tennis table I and my friends have set up and we play this every evening just to entertain ourselves because all boredom (and not works this time) without play makes Jack a dull boy... Lol. Also, I've had more time to study my Forex trading class and I am happy about this.
I just hope this end soon enough so that the world can be safe again. Please Stay blessed, stay home and stay safe Hiveans!
