svnsettiai've finally recovered from covid so i'm gonna list all the things i've been up to real quick, since i missed a weekly check-in!
this was my first time catching covid and honestly my pride took a hit. a family member brought it home and it became inevitable that we all caught it. i had congestion, headache, tiredness, general icky feelings.. that's about it. all pretty mild (my mother wasn't so lucky), but it lasted a whole week--and during christmas, no less! it became difficult for me to get myself to do activities i used to enjoy because it was all more trouble than it was worth. my spirits were broken after a few days because i fell back into old patterns of not doing anything except scroll through social media all day. i hadn't left the house in an entire week. i started believing that i was unlikeable and that nobody, not even my friends, wanted me, because they were all too busy spending christmas with their families and it seemed that nobody had any time for me.
i got out of my funk after new years eve, which was the day the last of my symptoms went away. i got a message from a friend asking me out to dinner, which surprised me because we haven't talked since early december. the day after that, i messaged some other friends to invite them to get drinks at a really fancy and expensive bar. these plans were made a month ago with three of my friends, but we wanted to wait until closer to the date to invite the last two people. we're not as close to them as we are with each other and we wanted the plans to appear more spontaneous to them. i sent the message while feeling bad about myself, so when he responded "i'd love to!" it felt really nice. i waited a long time to finally invite him because the youngest of our friends still needed to reach legal drinking age. her birthday was yesterday and we went to a karaoke bar and then had a slumber party at my house. one of our friends introduced us all to soju and we all loved it and finished a bottle together.
tldr for this week:
