yes long covid stole most of my hobbies for the timebeing but now i'm regularly going to the park with my boyfriend to kick a soccer ball around, juggle, etc. or do two-person volleyball sort-of-games and it's some of the most fun i've had in ages. so long covid is a loser and a bitch who forgot to take away sports from someone who hasn't played em in any fashion since college. lmao moron i'm getting stronger and getting some stamina and my lung capacity's gonna benefit so i can probably run again eventually too. fuckin failure

#hate letters for long covid!!#this has all solidified how much i prefer activities (i guess?) to working out #like lifting weights and doing body weight exercises (planks situps etc.) feels good and is rewarding #but there's not enough structure and i flounder and get distracted and bored #the stuff i've been doing though? yeah just gimme a ball for a sport i enjoy and a friend and i'm good #i played sports all thru grade school so it's not surprising that i still enjoy them. butni didn't think id have THIS much fun!!!#i'm semi regularly spending 45-60 minutes running around (as much as i can w/my breathing issues)#and with vball i've been full on diving and throwing myself to the ground and getting all bruised up from things #and going home sore and hurt in twenty different ways that feel great. yes i fuck up my hip every time. worth it tho #i'm just really happy to be getting joy out of old loves of mine and out of sharing them with J!!#he loves a pickup game so fuckin around with me is a good time for him as well #and i can tell that my enthusiasm for this stuff makes him feel good bc i've been struggling with the covid shit for months #feels like i'm coming back to life in bits and pieces even though i lose a lot of ground often. it's good #ann with an ie
