Life in these last weeks has undoubtedly changed us a lot, even those of us who work from home, since those who work outside the home now have them at home all day and that's when the madness begins hahaha, last year I didn't leave the house more than necessary, even when I was invited to a meeting of friends I refused with any excuse, and at the beginning of this 2020 I had said that this year that would change, I started, in fact, to go out more often, I was planning to go with some friends and our children to take a little vacation to the beach, and as you can see that has not been possible, I just hope that soon we can carry out our plans and we are all well to share together.

At home we have complied with the voluntary quarantine, some more reluctantly than others, my older brother lives with his wife in an annex upstairs, and he is almost walking the walls, as his work is direct with the public and from Monday to Saturday he was always at his business, Being at home 24/7 and going out alone to do the shopping once a week is a bit frustrating for him, something that has even affected our sibling relationship as he is extremely irritable, and I must confess, he sometimes conveys his anger to me, although I try to stay calm in general.
My younger brother is also like a caged lion because his pace of life has changed drastically, he was divided between the university and the gym and one or two outings with his friends, being at home locked up has him with a long face, although he has begun to perform his exercise routines in the courtyard of our house and eventually I will join him to see if I lose a few pounds I have too much (come on there are many that I have to lose hahaha)

My parents keep themselves distracted in their own things since they have been working from home for a few years, so they have dedicated their time to finish back works and help me with my little Mathias, that this last one does feel like a bird in a cage, we try to distract him with different activities however every day he asks me insistently, when will I take him to the park or at least to my aunt's house?
For my part, my life as I said in principle has not changed much, so let's say I am not so affected by the confinement, although from time to time it causes me to run away because let's say that voluntary confinement never bothered, but when it is something imposed as, if it bothers us, I have devoted my time to create more content for my social networks, I have begun to play a little with photo editing programs that are something I had been wanting to do for a while. Unfortunately, I had to suspend the yogurt ice cream production I decided to start in January, so I'll have time again to continue with that.
The outings have been limited to the maximum, we only go out to buy food when it is strictly necessary, because unfortunately in the town where I live people have not complied 100% with the quarantine, which makes me fear an outbreak of catastrophic cases, and to go out we have implemented a protocol that involves wearing gloves and mask, we do the shopping in one place to avoid contact with many people, When we get home we leave the car in the garage and disinfect it with alcohol spray, in the same place we undress and have improvised a bath in the courtyard so that once we take a bath and enter the house disinfected, the clothes we have left with including shoes are put in the sun until night and then washed with hot water, to "kill" whatever is left in them.
Washing your hands has become an obsession hahaha, even my little Mathias says to me sometimes, "mommy, my hands are clean, I don't want to wash them", poor him he can't imagine the things that happen. When all this started I became paranoid and often fought with my brothers, insisting that they avoid contact with people as much as possible and not leave the house if it wasn't strictly necessary, they laughed at me, now they even scold me if I open the window to see the street. But thanks to this so far, and I hope that it will continue, we remain healthy in my family.

Unfortunately last night my best friend called me to tell me that she is infected with this deadly virus, I must confess that I have cried like a little girl since she told me, she is in Guayaquil - Ecuador, and there the situation has gotten completely out of control, besides she is alone and suffers from asthma, which makes her a high-risk patient, the hospitals there are not receiving more people, in fact, she has sent me videos where people are seen burning bodies in the streets like a desperate measure because the authorities do not act as they should. We have been in contact since she gave me the news, and really neither she nor I have slept anything, I just pray to God that she manages to overcome this difficult moment and that she allows me to embrace her again because beyond being my best friend she is my sister, she has been my support in the worst moments of my life and I would give everything I have to be able to help her, but being so far away there is little I can do for her, and the truth is that it makes me very sad.
I only hope that this situation will lead us to become aware and know how to act as a true community because true communities support each other to move forward and defeat the obstacles that are put in their way to success, and this applies I dare to ensure that for all life situations, please if you read this, STAY AT HOME! and with this you help to stop the chain of propagation, it is the only thing that can save us and make us continue to share with our friends and loved ones.
