MARCH 2020…NO MOVEMENT PERIOD, LOCKDOWN!
I had never thought that I would spend days with my family holed up in this house; however it’s now a reality. We are having a reality show in our home. This reality immobility show has just taken an interesting turn. Five people inside a two bedroom house with one TV set! This is survival at its best.
Currently all housemates are reading something in different corners of the house. Everyone is tired of seeing the same faces when they wake up and before going to bed! The effect of this lockdown has taken a toll on everyone, not with the negative stories that are on every news channel and social media. Social media updates are full of terrifying forwards. It so sad, how does one cope.
But no worries we won’t be the first to have this experience. Many have been in such hard times and survived. We will too. That is comforting
Being born during the war years that brought this NRM government to power, people before us give examples of moving from place to place looking for a safe place to sleep. As we are complaining about no movement, the earlier people had too much movement (in search of a peaceful place to sleep) that their legs would always have sores.
It is 2020 btw.
