She had not expected to ever get to see hers, but then suddenly – there he was!

Turns off fan and leaves blessed heat, regretfully.
I Think, Therefore
“I shall stay in this sauna ‘forever!'”
A Singular Thought
“Bake me.”
Shiver-Cackling
It was so darn cold in her house this time of year – even with a space heater, heating pad, and electric blanket going.
However, as she went to turn off the shower portion of the bathroom’s heating fan that she had left on earlier to further dissipate moisture from the prior evening, she realized thar compartment had now turned into a sauna – and gleefully stepped into it with a wolf’s grin toothy smile.
Building On Belief
“A doctor’s assistant doing initial intake before I saw my primary recently listened to how I’d discovered that my workouts had actually been gaining ground in restabilizing my spine – and then how devastated I was to have that progress disrupted and basically wrenched from my hands from the concussive fall.
Whereupon, I was surprised and encouraged when she reflected my prior once faith back to me by saying assuredly, ‘But you can get that back…'”
Coming Back Online
“Part of new injury developments prior to the concussion are due to my own designed rehabilitation workouts finally succeeding in bridging across gaps to reactivate muscle fibers that the car accident blasted – and then finding that when they are re-engaging, they have twisted torsions within them that pull at my bone and joint attachments and structures.’
I Was Astonished
“That the orthopedic doctor actually said, ‘What good would an MRI do?’ – and he’s a surgical specialist!”

“Truly, Madly” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, January 7, 2025
My Love
Come as you are
We don’t need perfection
Baby
Come as you are
Cut through distraction
I need you to see
Everything you already
Mean to me
My biggest regret
Is time wasted
Between us
When we could have been
Together building trust
And honestly
I need you closer
Than ever
I’m glad we’ve had time
To figure out where we stand
But I missed you in the holidays
Not holding my hand
Its a New Year now
Let’s ride this horse
To town
We can share the reins
From slow walk to
Gallops insane
Come on Baby
No need to impress
You’re already the best
Anything you wanna give to me
Help me ease into it and
I’ll welcome it gladly

Hey, Baby
“Once we get to know each other better in person, our interactions will be smoother.
Because we are both sensitive and caring accommodators, we will be figuring out how to get along well together more rapidly than is usual in others’ beginning relationships.
I look forward to getting to know you more face to face – sharing our ‘perfectionisms’ to ‘spicey flaws’ – and hope you’ll hurry up and get yourself home to me tout sweet so that we can get our life together started.”
LopSided
She didn’t understand why some men refused to flex – yet expected their partners to completely overextend investment in them.
Sweat Heart,
“Whatever excuse fear gives us, we can work it out.”
Sanctuary
“More than just a dream.”
Can I Opt Out?
“From this whole body and brain injury scene?”
Quip
She quirked a playful eyebrow at him briefly and asked, “So you wanna do this with me?”
Finances
“Things are coming together as a household as essential restabilizing pieces are almost acquired and some final gaps must be overcome.”
(You’re The Inspiration – Chicago)
Dearest,
“I thought you knew what I wanted.
I am sorry that I was not more clear.
I never had a doubt – I was only unsure how and where to begin.”
I Wish It Were Different, But
“My house is constantly dirty with dust and animal tracking due to the weather and the efforts it takes to keep up with the cleaning, which I cannot often do.”
My Love,
“I want you in my life.
For real.
All in.
We figure it out as we go.”
(Have Your Way – Katy Nichole)
Hon,
“I want us to live together.”

Hysterical

Exhaustion

“Because you’re not here.”

Maybe,
“Something vital was being pinched.”
Phasing
She could feel her energy glitching from the effort it took to stay in one plane.
Yearning
“I think that passionately desiring but not getting to have detrimentally depletes me these days.
I’d already burned through layers of reserves before this point from prior single parenting.”
Word Of The Day: Lackluster
1. lacking in vitality, force, or conviction; uninspired or uninspiring.

Soured
“Prolonged delayed gratification is over-played.
I have no more chips to give.”
I Am Literally
“Quite twitchy.”
Dr’s Note
“There’s this feeling that I can’t place, like being body-slammed or hit in the face – felt since hearing that the only recovery path for my concussion is rest minus brain use activities when survival requires opposite.”
(Don’t Talk To Strangers – Rick Springfield)
InEquity
“I look at my ex’s lives and at all of the love and support that I gave them.
They are all now flourishing in their own ways, in some capacity or other, in part thanks to me – better off for having known me.
Yet, for all that I generously gave, I’ve come away with injuries from their growing.
I am pock-marked, battered, and bruise-broken.
Who worthy would want me now in my worsened conditioning?
All of the ease of pretty and youth has been tapped – consumed by feeder users.
I have become a mature woman – with an injured soul’s heavy cares and worries.”
“Transforming” (Song Bit)
Fannn-ta-seeeee
I’d like the re-alll-li-teeeeee
Instead of neutraaal-li-teeeee
That’s stuck all a-rounnnd my beiiiing
“Full Brazilan Laser Special”
“The absurdity of this text ad that I just received reflecting in comparison to how far removed from any financial nearity – let alone desire to have in any topped priority – to reach for or be able to pay for such service hit me with abstractedly-flustered hilarity.”
Hon,
“I need your advice.
I’ve hit next leveling hard times.
I don’t know what direction to aim for.
Except to just run and jump and see what catches.”
