Apart from these blogs i don't keep proper diary but during this madness lockdown I probably should have. What started kind of as usual Chinese problem quickly affected all of us. Including me and my mental health. This will be a summary of the whole process and after that I promise some happier topics to come, although being master of irony and sarcasm I will try my best to make this tragedy sound funny and entertaining.
I got sick exactly when Italy started their lockdown. At that time zero know patience have been reported here in Georgia. I got cold in Gudauri, the biggest Georgian Ski-resort. That meant I couldn't possibly leave the country and was destined to spend my lockdown here. At that time it was making the most sense anyway. Both economically and strategically. Getting back to EU, where the first wave was just about to hit the coast wasn't an option.
So I have started preparing for the worst and crated a shopping list for myself.
My strategy was simple. To spend the least of my hard earned money on supplies I might not even need. So I went after lot of rice. When cooked with garlic, onion and some eggs it provides all the necessary nutrition.
This recipe is very easy but it wears off. The taste is just always the same no matter what secret sauce you'd add. So |I have created another variant on my menu. Classical Spanish omelet.
My strategy turned out to be quite accurate. I am almost scared of the precision on the life span of some products. Chocolate, cafe, tea and Chinese noodles lasted me exactly till they should or till I had literally enough of them anyway. In the whole lockdown period, which to some extend lasts to this very day, I haven't ordered a single delivery food and stick to my survival eating tactics.
As you can imagine, there have been more and less sane periods in my life during all of this madness and so lot of times really small things made my day. Lot of days I have forgotten completely and I am happy for that. To this very day I consider myself a healthy individual, both physically and mentally but this period was a great test. Here are some funny moments that stand out of the whole nothingness. [read on travelfeed.io to see the meaning of these pictures]
Now seeing all these pictures I have to laugh because that is overall human reaction to bad memories, but clearly I have learned some things otherwise kept secret to me and would have to wait few more years to realize them.
Do you have some revelations after all of these lockdown? Share them in the comments I am curious how you guys have coped with this prison-like period and what it taught you.
This was a final part of This is Tbilisi lockdown series, next time hopefully on a happier note. Cheers.
