My Daily...
Sometimes, you just gotta make the best of things with who/what you can...

So, ever since the pandemic happened, a lot of things just weren't goin right. News about the virus didn't break out until like late January, but it didn't officially happen until March, that's when the virus turned into a pandemic. At first, not a lot of us knew much of it, we didn't think it would be so huge. But then, that's when things just got worse and worse by the minute.
I had already lost my job in January, not only that, but I was about 4 to 5 months pregnant, and before the pandemic even happened; I had lost everything: my home, my car, and I had no money or supplies. All I had were just my clothes and my baby. You know, just nothing. but it didn't stop me from doing what I wanted to do. I still wanted to work, so I worked hard for the both of us, whether we got any help or not.
And so, before things got worse with the pandemic, later that month, we moved in with my family, so they helped us out a lot. They gave us a room and everything, even gave us food and supplies, and then after the baby was born, I was so overprotective, and shocked, and surprised. I couldn't believe that he was here! But then I thought, things are different now cause of the virus. We can’t go out as much anymore, and we can’t do the things we used to do, so we stayed home and did different kinds of things instead.
Mental activities, physical activities, a lot of brain and physical work, basically. I would read books, watch the news, tv shows, and movies, with my baby. We just watched, or sometimes we’d just watch the news and nap/eat, or do some activity together, just something together, mostly some mental and brain activity you know? So even after everything has changed, like yeah, I feel so different, so I'm close to myself. It made my depression and anxiety worse, and I can't really do much about it since I'm always home all the time. I do go see a doctor every three months, I mean I have a disease that makes me susceptible to getting the virus so I try not to go out as much, only as I need to, or whenever my son has an appointment. The only reasons why there is nothing else, no other reason, to go out there, except for the basic necessities, but yeah.
My life has been just doing the fundamentals: Reading, Writing, and of course shows and random videos, mostly to build the mind and stuff like that. So, if it's not working out, or reading, or watching news indoors, then sometimes we'll take a walk around the apartment, we’ll go up and down, even to just check the mailbox, cuz we still need a vitamin D, but yeah. We do some things and we try not to let the virus/pandemic get in the way. We try not to let it get the best of us, but in the end, my son is my motivation. and he always cheers me up. Sometimes his smile or his laughing cheers anyone up, but that's our daily life, and we get through it every day. Even tho my son is my motivation, so is juice and noodles I think that also brightens anyone's day, since it's my new addiction as well. So, even if I don't have juice and noodles, then the world is just insane, but that's just me. That's my daily, and with my son as my motivation, I hope only good things will come.
