GREETINGS STEEMARS!
This is my first post in the Steemit nursery community as well as my first diary post ever so if I make any mistake telling my stories throughout the day then pardon me. As you all know, COVID-19 second-wave situation in India was at its peak a few weeks back so my home state imposed a strict lockdown procedure to contain infection rates. I am at home since the beginning of this month and haven't been outside for a long time. Certainly, the number of outdoor activities has reduced in my life recently and I am trying hard to keep myself cheered up through this tough time.
So, without further adieu, I should get started with how I spent my day. I woke up to the sounds of raindrops, cool breeze, and mild sound of clouds roaring. It was a long week of heatwaves, temperature reaching 40 degrees Celcius/104 degrees Fahrenheit and unbearable humid weather so I was feeling lazy to leave my bed. :P. And, yeah! it was Sunday so how could I. :P
Finally, because of my appetency for the chores I had to do, I left the bed at 8.30 am and got started with my day. I went to the corridor to feel the cold breeze more prominently. It literally took away my week-long stress in few moments. I have been trying hard to fix my messed up sleep cycle for so long and fortunately, I was doing great for the last few days so, overall, I felt alive after a long time. I freshened up and spent some time there to take some pictures and videos.
Here is a glimpse of the video I took this morning.
I was going through a creative block, joining Steem has again sparked up the creative side of me, and the support, positivity has been a motivating factor for me to be creative and original for which I am really grateful to Steem as a community. This is helping people like me in so many ways. So, after taking the pictures and videos, I turned on my laptop and processed them for uploading later. TBH, I am an extrovert person so this "new normal" lifestyle isn't normal for me at all, it has affected my mental health. So I have made a list of indoor activities to keep myself productive and positive every day.
I had my breakfast around 10.
It was different nuts, Green Tea, and eggs for breakfast as usual. I skipped brown bread this morning because I couldn't find any in the market yesterday. After breakfast, I went on with my studies. I am a CS graduate and have career plans to go ahead in the field of Artificial Intelligence, I am prepping myself for that.

I studied until 1 pm. It was pouring outside, rain has an ASMR vibe to it which aids in concentration for me. Meanwhile, I took a break in the middle of my session for few minutes to see the rain outside.
It was time for the shower. After the shower, I had my lunch. I try to incorporate protein, green vegetables, and whole-grain carbs in my daily diet so I had fish, lentils curry, vegetable curry, and Indian flat wheat bread for lunch.
After being done with daily chores, it was time for some creativity. I love doing graphic design, digital vector art, etc. So, opened Adobe Illustrator and started doing a flat design of my favorite sedan car, the BMW 3 series.
I did the initial wireframe and base coloring. It took me more than an hour to do this. I would post the artwork when I am finished with it on Steem.
It was already 4.20 pm, it was slowly approaching my routine workout schedule. I dressed up, fastened up my smartwatch, and went out for walking. I do work out every day but due to this pandemic I gyms are closed so, I am trying to stay active like last year. I walked for almost two hours and this was the result.
I came back home and made myself and my family tea.
It was around 7, and I boiled some yellow peas, Bengal gram. I love snacking on them, mixed them with some Himalayan salt, chilies and to give it some tangy twist I added lemon juice. I would love to share this easy-to-make and healthy recipe with you Steemers later!

doesn't it look tasty? :P
Currently, I am having this savory while writing this post. I just want these home confinement days to end sooner so that we can get back to normal life as soon as possible. I Would love to hear, how did you overcome the lockdown period in your place so that I can get some suggestions!
If you want to know me better. here is my Achievement 1 post.
Thanks for reading this far. I wholeheartedly appreciate your valuable time and engagement.
Peace and Steam on!

It's a great debute! I loved your post.
I get it, staying at home and isolating is difficult (and sometimes necessary). I hope soon the situation will be much better and you will be able to come back to your previous lifestyle. Until it will happen, I believe steemit can be a nice distraction.
You are native English speaker, right? May I write to you on discord which you published on your account? I would have some "job offer". I need a help with one stuff and I can pay in STEEM or SBD.

Thank you so much for your response. Yeah, it is difficult and really affects mental health but quarantine has another greater purpose to slow down infection rate so it's important.
feel free to reach me on Discord. I would be happy to help you.
