. ONE HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE THE LOCKDOWN

So it's an hour and 15 minutes before lockdown in South Africa begins.  The total number of cases is 927 today, 26 March 2020. The number is growing at a frightening rate.  

I started the day with a sugar low of 2,6 at 2am.  Scrambled around until I found coke and chocolates in the fridge.  Also ate 2 biscuits. Sugar rose to 5.6. Then I went back to bed. Around 3.15 am. I woke up at 6.45am. Did 30 minutes of cardio. Then breakfast of pronutro cereal. I made a cup of tea and left it to brew in the kitchen. Completely forgot about it. Down the drain 45mins later as it tasted like crap. 

Next I washed 2 toilets,  2 bathrooms. Showered. Ate leftover biryani for lunch. The food didn't go down. Depression over this being the first time ever that I cooked biryani and my other kids could not come over to eat it due to self isolation.  I slept. Dreamt. Woken up rudely by the ring of a watsapp call. Brush teeth. Coffee. Spoke to my youngest son.

It's my son in law's 35th birthday.  We celebrated via videocall. It was great to see everyone.  We last saw ea other 10 days ago.  I cried inside as I looked at my daughter,  her husband,  my son, his wife and my son in law's parents and sister. These are the people I love and who knows when I will see them again. I cannot make sense of this virus. The kids are playing online games together.  I can hear my son who lives with me, laughing and enjoying it.  At least my kids are together via the internet.  I am grateful for these small pleasures.  

Milk was sold out at both the stores near me. I have a few litres so it's ok. We bought 2 loaves of bread to avoid going to the shop again too often. Dinner was chicken Viennas...hot dogs.  Will have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.  

Called my sister to see hw she is . My nephew to check how his family is.  Need to relax my mind. Too much of overthinking.  Oh and I cleaned out my wendy hut today.  My sacred space unused for sometime.  Intend to using for my alone time now..

PLEASE STAY INDOORS DURING THE LOCKDOWN AND AFTER.  

Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Thank you for reading. 

Peace and love
