quarantine day 6

it was about 12 midnight last saturday night. i had heard that the peruvian government would put an international travel ban the next day. i was freaking out that night, i could barely sleep. how and when could i get back to the usa?
now im on the 6th day. i feel happy and free. since saturday night i have started to work some online each day teaching chinese students english. i have so much time throughout the day to eat, sleep, listen to music, binge on netflix, read, study spanish, while drinking tons of tea.
i realized that i have no control in this situation. all i can do is enjoy my time. it is almost 100 degrees here everyday, but during the quarantine i have stayed cool in my room all day, taking multiple cold showers, and staying out of the sun.
whenever i go outside i go to the supermarket or the convenience store known as 'el mega' here. sometimes in the supermarket i have to wait 10 minutes or so in a long line, yet i do not care. i have so little time around other human beings now, i feel happy no matter what to see them, even if i have to endure boring activies like wait.

"Whatever caused the slump that, in turn, became a panic, one thing was clear—none of those who had helped to inflate the bubble felt responsible for its bursting. They were the blameless casualties of a disaster of almost natural proportions." Diaz, H. (2022). Trust: Winner of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Pan Macmillan.
