#shelterandwrite #writethepandemic prompt 9 – a setting that changes

This pandemic, social distancing and movement restriction order, has made time for me to hunt down a writing school. My setting pre-pandemic saw me always busy in my rat race. Now, in the thick of this pandemic, my race track is out of bounds, and I have some time to focus on my writing and drawing. I think my art has improved.

Here are the latest two of my art:

This dog was drawn from pic from Amie Crowsong. She’s on Twitter as @CrowWriting. Please go follow her.

One small concrete change I noticed is how the supermarket shelves for toilet rolls are ALWAYS empty, despite assurance and reassurances from the store and politicians, that panic buying is unnecessary.

Before Covid-19, this never happened. Never have I seen toilet paper being a scarcity in any supermarket.

This is usually overlooked as I am busy with life. Now, more than ever, I am grateful to be alive. Should I be gone, I dread to think who is going to take over my role for my immediate family. Sure there is at least one contender who has been coveting my position, but they are far from being a good match and I don’t endorse them. When its time for me to go, my family should be able stand on their feet and not rely on self-serving ones.

Thank you God, for my health.

People who were used to mingling didn’t observe social distancing rules. The authorities had to start issuing tickets with penalties. At the opposite end of the spectrum, folks who were troglodyte were happy to have the perfect excuse to stay away. They are thriving in this environment. So, are you social or troglodyte?

I couldn’t go outside and the most I could do was to sit on my balcony, a perch in the sky, overlooking my neighbors’ balconies.

I’m a boring person who can’t write, despite numerous attempts at learning creative writing. Don’t say I didn’t warn you after you read my bad haiku.

My bad haiku

Faces blue outside –

When will the tide change for good?

We cry for vaccine!

I want to write in detail about how a cashier at my nearest neighborhood supermarket has often made me smile and made my shopping trip pleasant. She would try to crack a joke or make some small talk to lighten the atmosphere. We’re all in this together.

Thank you to all the everyday heroes and heroines!

]]> #shelterandwrite prompt 5 My Comfort https://artmater.com/shelterandwrite-prompt-5-my-comfort/ Mon, 06 Apr 2020 14:10:02 +0000 http://artmater.com/?p=14082 During this Covid-19 pandemic, my local area authorities pleaded with us to stay home to avoid catching the virus and giving any bugs to others. On normal days, I enjoy being at home. Now that I’m kind of ordered to stay home, I feel like I’m a prisoner at home.

What is my comfort in this time of voluntary but not so voluntary stay home request?

My hot beverages. Namely, my morning coffee and afternoon hot chocolate. Not to waste your reading time, I’ll pick only one to write in great detail here.

My morning coffee stimulates my senses. I like the smell of coffee. I like the taste of sugar and milk in my coffee. I think coffee is the perfect beverage to kickstart my morning. The heat of the fluid warms my throat and chest as it travels down. This comforts me. I continue with my second gulp. Only the heat prevents me from chugging down my entire mug at one go.

The fundamental difference between drinking coffee without a stay home order, and drinking coffee with a stay home order, is that I get to use milk in the latter case. Being lactose intolerant, I can only add milk to my drink and food, if I’m at home, because I suffer from symptoms. It is not possible for me to drink coffee with milk when I’m outdoors. So during these days of semi-compulsory home stay, I can drink coffee With MILK.

I used to scrounge up my face when bitter black coffee hit my taste buds on my tongue. I can only add one teaspoonful of sugar to my cuppa. This sugar only has a small effect to allay the bitterness. Moreover, I can’t use two teaspoons of sugar because I might get sick with diabetes. I don’t taste bitter when there’s milk in my coffee. What a difference milk makes.

My quirkiness makes me appreciate staying at home so that I can drink coffee with milk. This is special for me.
