Hello readers, how is going your quarantine?
Today is the stage 2 in my country! So we can go everywhere, visit our friends and family, ride our motorbikes, take long walks with our dogs… Things we used to do daily and were boring but now are just amazing activities to do!
I haven’t written for a week at the reason was I began to work again, well, was my first day after two months in the company, considering that I’ve been two long months in quarantine at home.
This first week of work and of “real life” has been difficult for me, I couldn’t imagine how life would be after the quarantine, even I didn’t considered I could have some trauma as it was this: I had a trauma, I was afraid of strangers, the virus, the environment, everything scared me because I was as confused as all my workmates.
We use PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that covers almost all our body, even the workers who aren’t directly in touch with the customers, but the most annoying PPE was the mask, I couldn’t imagine how difficult would be to work and breathe wearing this piece of paper in your face, actually it’s been very oppressive because I felt as I haven’t got enough air to breathe, so it’s been a stressful experience, fortunately we must change the mask every three hours, as the protocol demands.
This experience has showed me how life has changed, currently we need more time for everything, when you get at work, you need an extra time to change your street clothes to wear your work uniform and the all the equipment, but this is not enough, we need time to do everything, every task takes time moreover for people like me who work in public, as we can’t attend too much people in a close space, so you need more time for each person because they have to wear PPE too and if they don’t do it, we offer for free PPE for them.
My life has changed, not too much because I’m a lonely person and I don’t spend much time in places crowded, like malls or cinemas, but the perception of my daily life has changed.
The time I need to do everything, the mask in my face, the glows we must wear everyday, the fear to touch unknown products like in a supermarket, even going to a supermarket is something really challenging for me because I’m not ready to go into one!
I haven’t gone to a supermarket yet and I don’t know when I’ll go…
But the most sad thing about it, is that I’m not ready to see my best friend, because she suffered a lot and she still does, so I’m not ready to see my friend neither my family.
It’s a confusing time for everyone, each person lives this situation in a different way, some of them want to hang out, to meet their friends, to do the daily stuff they used to do, but I don’t want to do all these activities, I just want to stay at home, to love my pets, to love everything is in my life and try to enjoy all these small moments because I don’t know when I still will enjoy these things.
