So, why is it that, whether I was able to work (or do much else) or not - that is, that I've been able to juggle a work schedule or other things at the same time - that I'm the driving force behind events and gatherings, as simple as tennis or as complex as a camping outing, often because several of my much healthier friends have expressed interest such as "Hey, wouldn't it be great to do ______!", and yet, once I, the unhealthy one, take the initiative to schedule, or push for, one of these things, the only way I'm able to pull something off - if I am - is to twist arms, legs, and necks?

Most aggravating, at the moment, is that a half dozen or so of my friends have all expressed interest in playing tennis (which none of us play, but it's fun to try), and, over the course of the last couple months, every effort but one has been rebuffed when I've attempted to get out for tennis any given day or week. Doesn't matter if I attempt to schedule ahead of time (which rarely works), or call earlier in a day to aim for an afternoon/evening (which is not helpful, but more likely to work) - despite a constant protestation that they'd love to play, there's always some excuse.

The best part is that, while I'm attempting these numerous things despite my health, one of the few ways I can possibly improve my health is to get out and exert myself. And yet, when no one will get out with me and exert with me, I lose any chance to do so. So, despite my poor health, I make efforts to both have fun, and to improve my health - and my healthier friends are the ones who screw over any chance of me doing either.
