My Love,
I am so proud of your efforts.
(Hold You Head Up – Argent)
Parts Of You & Me
(If I Can’t Have You – Shawn Mendes)
The Time Arrives
She was in a grocery isle, looking at garbage bags and cleaning supplies – of all things – and saw hum coming from her left.
Sunglasses still on to mitigate the bright overhead lights, she angled her stance more toward him and hazedly watched him approach, expecting him to turn and walk the other way.
But he kept coming, slowly, and was watching her carefully but directly.
Every step brought his visage more clearly into view as her mind scanned for attributes that would confirm his identity correctly.
Then he stopped right there, right next to her, not looking away – just as she held herself there, though swaying a bit from not automatically bolting away, herself.
He was ready?
They were ready.
To be real….
To figure out how to explain and discuss everything.
They were ready to face fears, together, with trembling relief.

(This morning’s last dream before waking)
Claiming Rights
“You might be a pain in the butt,” she asserted, “but you’re my pain in the butt.”
And then, she hugged him.
—
(Title of multiple meanings)
“She Loves Me”
He said out loud to no one in particular.
“She loves me…”
That He Could
Drive her this crazy must mean that she cared for and loved him deeply.
Get It Together
She visualized turning him around, smacking his butt, and sending him on his way with a “Come back when you’re ready to really play.”
Of Course!
She had been crying.
(All Fired Up – Pat Benatar)
Boiling Rage
A self defense mechanism beginning to gather flame’s ire in mass and momentum to blast a wide radius around her of charred cinders that no man would dare try to go through.
Word Of The Day: Surly
bad-tempered and unfriendly.
Oxford Languages
Angel Numbers
“No matter what, they all say stay positive.
They can go F- off, too.”
It’s Called
“Heartache from being teased, then denied.”
EnThralled
He was enchanted by the fact that his actions affected her because she cared so much – while he seemed oblivious to the blatant obviousness of how his withdrawals cut her open, spilling her precious heart’s blood, again.
“Round About” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, January 8, 2026 Early AM
Trippin’
I’m flippin’
‘Round and ’round
Clock cycles bound
Time never found
Just wheels spinnin’
While grinin’
Never winnin’
Except to keep clingin’
To bare minimums

“Safe” Love
Distant
Shallow
Idealistic
Conscripted Designs
“A song sings about ‘Maybe I’m still here ’cause I got work to do.’
And already feeling extremely alienated and dissociated, I just yelled back at the radio – ‘Well F**k You! I don’t want to be just a vessel!’
Now I’m feeling extreme deja vu.”
(Should I Stay or Should I Go – The Clash)
Fleeting Shadows
This time, she was
Ready, determined
To overcome her fear
And reach out to him
But when she saw him again
Then followed, he was gone
(Trust – Michael FK)
“Trust”
(Lucky Ones – Loverboy)
A Miracle
She had not expected to ever get to see hers, but then suddenly – there he was!
Click!
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!”
“Echo” (Trance Song)

“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.”
(Joy – For King + Country)

So Dramatic
I would like to have a replica of this dress – look at the flow of its movement and colors!
