The secret during this confinement period is to take it slow and easy. Do not do in 1 day what can be done in 2 or 3 days. Time goes by fairly quickly when you have a routine. Of course it helps when the sun is shining.
I do it my way 
Strange coincidence, JJ, I was thinking tonight, at 1 am, about starting to write a confinement diary. Maybe more than a diary of what I’m doing, but also my impressions and the reflections about WHY, and WHERE does it come from. Comparions with similar situations in the past. First, I thought about the Diary of Anne Frank.
People were trying to have a kind of daily routine, fearing for their lives and had to try to escape from the Gestapo, or to hide confined in attics or cellars.
The only way to have a chance to escape from the virus is to STAY hidden and confined. The virus is everywhere. An invisible Gestapo.
That makes me become philosophic : When will the humanity be liberated from this killing menace ? And, how will we live AFTER ? Will we be able to learn from this experience of confinement ?
Continue sharing your blog, JJ, that’s a great job.
