Q-Release

I was quiet for few days… I was released from the hotel quarantine; Released to the world, to the natural air, to feel the weather, the sun, the rain, the wind; to hear the birds and insects; Released to human activity; Released to the family; allowed to hug and feel the warmth of your lovedContinue reading “Q-Release”

Q-Day 13

Almost there, almost there! I begin to be nervous…. waiting for the official time of the release. I got a good news today: the COVID swab test is negative. So yes, I should be released on time… Q-Day15! School begun yesterday. I continue my routine. Try to finish most of the work in progress. TryContinue reading “Q-Day 13”

Q-Day 12

Monday. I should go back to work more than ever: prepare myself to be in peace for the next holidays! I must admit: this weekend I watched more iPad than I ever did. I watched my first series in Netflix and spoiled myself with videos in YouTube. My favorites are argentine tango dances. I amContinue reading “Q-Day 12”

Q-Day 11

Sunday. An important event happened today: swab test. My appointment was at 10:15, I was already back in the room at 10:12… Singaporean efficiency!! The test was a bit uncomfortable, you have just the impression that they tickle your brain; but I already forgot the feeling, so that’s fine finally. “Escorted” all the way toContinue reading “Q-Day 11”

Q-Day 10

Reaching the 2 digits in my counts, yeah! That’s why I celebrated. Dinner ordered from the restaurant: green salad and a beer! Well I had to wait about an hour and a half, so I ended up eating half of the provided dinner and not getting this excitement for the beer anymore. The salad (withContinue reading “Q-Day 10”

Q-Day 9

The hotel has its own rhythm. I hear when they drop the food on the tables, then come back and ring all our bells at once to avoid any contact; I hear when they come again to take the trash bins or when they collect any additional items like bed sheets. I am more awareContinue reading “Q-Day 9”

Q-Day 8

I am glad I don’t have access to a vending machine. Sometimes I feel I could eat anything at my disposal. These are these devastating moments where you can’t contain yourself anymore, these moments ending with guilt and disappointments because what you did was without desire, what you ate had no taste and left youContinue reading “Q-Day 8”

Q-Day 7

Half way through! I asked for a change of my bed sheet today. They brought me only the bed sheet… so I asked for a change of the rest of the bed. It is good to have all the time in the world! And they drop me a little personalized card as encouragement. Appreciated! TheContinue reading “Q-Day 7”

Q-Day 6

Lunch time: the bell rang, meaning that the meal is served and available. I was passing by the front door as I came out of the bathroom. So I opened the door almost immediately, and… exchange a sight with the staff! Ohhhh, first live contact in some days, what a surprise! Apart from few niceContinue reading “Q-Day 6”

Q-Day 5

Yesterday was the 5th day, already. Getting into the new routine slowly. I am still not able to wake up as early as I used to. Maybe because of the lack of contrast between the night and the day in the city – lights in the night are much brighter here. Maybe because I amContinue reading “Q-Day 5”
