I debated whether to journal everyday during quarantine or not. There isn’t much to talk about as nothing much is happening. However, journaling helps pass some time. Time flows very slowly during quarantine.

So far I have spent the bulk of the time consuming news on the internet. Joe and I don’t have the habit of turning on the TV when we enter a room, so I haven’t turned on the TV since arriving. However, if and when I run out of things to read, then I’ll probably switch it on. I’ve also started re-reading one of the books I brought with me.

The excitement of the day is meal time. Each meal is different, so it’s exciting to see what you’re about to get. It’s like Christmas morning 3 times a day. After the first meal, I requested that they give me 1/2 portions as the full portion is too much to finish. Even 1/2 portions are large enough that I feel the need to “walk” for an hour to an hour and a half after each meal to help with digestion.

So far meals have been tasty.

Almost all meals have some form of pork. If you don’t like pork, then tell them you’re Muslim. You’ll probably end up with a lot of chicken.
