  • Getting Used to the New Normal – Week 12

    Life is becoming a sort of regular routine for me now, just to stay sane. Wake up at 6 am for my daily 5 km run to get a breath of fresh air and a view of greenery. Do some callisthenic exercises on my front porch, have breakfast and read the papers. Shower, catch up…
