My COVID experience

Hi friends, my name is Juan Antonio and I live in El Viso del Alcor, Seville. I write this post because I want to tell about my life´s changes in this alarm state due to COVID-19.

Before that I had been working every morning from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm and then I used to go to hight school. At evening I went to my field and I everyday play with my dogs.  At weekends I used to go to mountain with my father to hunting and this was my favourite day of week. 

But all of this changed in March when COVID-19 has came. This virus bring about many deaths and led to a global pandemic. Moreover, all people we had to confine ourselves in our houses and we only could leave to buy food or another things of first need. We couldn´t see our family, friends etc and it was horrible. 

During this confinement of more than 50 days I haven´t been able to go to work because at first only the food sector could work. 

My routine was as follows: I got up very early to go my field to feed my dogs, then I studied a little and I did my high school homework. Then I used to cook sometimes because I loved make cakes, my favourite cake is cheesecake, it's delicious! Everyday at evening after to eat cake, my sister and I played sports, few days we did bodybuilding because we have a gym at home, other days we did cardio exercises and we really liked doing Patri Jordan's routines. When we finished our exercises, I went to my field to feed my dogs like ever. I have five dogs in my field and 2 dogs at home. But my favourite is Gala because my girlfriend gave it to me, Gala is an American Stanford and I spend a lot of time with her because she came with me when I working.

At home live Fura and Golfo. Fura is a black Labrador, she is 10 years and she is one more of our family. She is the kindest dog that I know she is very calm and is always sleeping. Fura is so good that she even learns english with me!

Golfo is a German Shepherd puppy, who is barely 3 months old. My father gave it to me before starting quarantine and it has been an adventure to have him at home this time, also as he is so small I have had to go out several times to the vet put all your vaccines.

On the other hand, I was the only one who went out to make the purchase and at first I love it because I can leave home, but after I don't like too much due to all people must use masks and gloves and respect the safety distance and all this make me feel bad because It was a way to see what was really happening.

Luckily later this changed a bit when the phases came. At present we are phase 1, and now almost all companies are working, and we can go a little, to see our family and friends (although maximum 10 people), to do sport outdoor etc, and this make me feel so happy. Now I can finally go to running with my sister and all my dogs and I can ride my horse.

My horse is called Pedro because his mother is called Heidi, and he is so good, but now it had been a long time without leaving the block and when I rode it the first day it was a little scary and we almost fell. It is a colt with great strength. My sister shouted: Juan Antonio, be very careful!

I think that if he had come out more he wouldn't have been scared.

To end, this situation is improving fortunately, the number of positive cases is decreasing step by step and the deaths too. I hope I can move to the next phase next week. This is a very long process in which we all have to help make it easier, with caution and responsibility.

In short, the situation we are living has taught me what really matters in this life is health, family, freedom and nothing else.
