QUARANTINE DAYS.

A MARRIED VISION

With the pandemic declining in March 2020, my wife, Natanna, and I started to have
more time together at home, as we arrived very late from our respective jobs. She is a
beautician and has stopped working. I, a civil servant, arrive earlier from work, and,
then, we started to complete our day with activities such as: cleaning the house,
watching movies, talking and exporting each other's dream.

I confess that at the beginning it was a little difficult, because everyone has their own
style. I am more boring with cleaning and organization the my home. She hates dirty
bathrooms..

This time was also very good to strengthen our family ties. As we are from Ceará, our
families, due to the distance, do not have the attention they deserve. So, we started
making more calls, mainly from video to be able to see them, in addition to having
planned our mothers' visit to Porto Velho later this year, if all goes well.

Another very cool thing we did was our physical activity plan inside the apartment. We
started to follow some YouTube channels of exercises and every night we started doing
to keep the body in motion and not gain too much weight. Hahaha.

These quarantine have been very important for us to reflect and grow in the knowledge
of oneself. Mainly, in marriage, which brings together two very different people,
wisdom and good humor are fundamental.

Despite all that, not everything was so good. We went through some very different
situations. For example, one day I arrived at work and my wife had gone to the
supermarket. When I entered the condominium I saw all the residents downstairs with
towels in their hands, several children crying, as well as elderly people feeling bad.

I was immediately stopped by the apartment manager who asked:

- you live in apartment 402?

- I said: yes, why?

Then, the apartment manager told me that they had to break down the door because a
pan of beans was left on the fire and the strong smell of burning was felt by the
residents. Then, for fear of a fire, both the gas and the power of the entire condominium
was turned off because my beautiful wife simply forgot and went shopping.

We were very ashamed of what happened, but I think they forgiven us. That's married
life :).
