Rent About Due
“And I should feel lucky.”
Literally,
“Hardly any space to breathe.”
Why Do I Try?
“Last minute, under the wire, found a replacement cute microwave to trade for the black small microwave.
It also has a lock – but hey, it’s the same white that matches my toaster, right?l!
Everybody helps make the transaction happen.
Then get it into the car – and there’s a smell.
Not only a perfume/cologne smell, but the smell of it having been in a smoker’s house.
That which I am somehow living in and trying to get resolved out of smell inundateion.
‘The irony runs thick with this ine…'”
As Of Today,
“I weigh 199 lbs.
That’s cortisol mixed into injuries for ya!”
No Mores
“Having the dogs with me in the garden or throwing the hound her ball.
No more sitting together in front of the fireplace feeling enthralled.
No more hopeful striving – just passing the mantle.”
Too Little Space
“And whittled endurance.”
Simple Things
“I want to have my couch able to be sat upon – without my having to move boxes or have it covered to keep the animals from ruining it!”
Losing Privacy
“Other people’s smells.”
Done With Done
“Let’s get to having.”
Divided Lines
“Separated from values.”
Helping Out
“Below ‘E.'”
Laminate Floor
“Still doesn’t stop a dog from peeing to where it runs under everything, making it difficult and thus painful to clean up around midnight.
And it doesn’t stop someone’s hidden smoke box fumes from seeping in, clouding and choking where should be fresh air.
They say you have rights, but it’s more responsibilities.
And I’m to the point of needing to no longer care.
I can’t pretend to keep captaining the way that I used to.
I need to divide and divy off what there still is to share.”
Fantasy
“Sets up expectations that might have nothing at all to do with reality.”
Anger’s Madness
“When patience has been trampled.”
Object-ivity
When she looked at something directly, she could “see” in front and behind it – but it was like her brain turned off her eyes’ ability to see the object itself clearly.
Tested
“It seems like I am always being…”
Burned Out
“I want out of the guard.”
Hysterical Tears
“And a one – and a two – and a one – and a two!”
Public Laundry
“Other people’s residual issues can ruin your stuff.
I hardly had anything to begin with!”
Scattered
Pieces
Well, I Guess
“I get to pretend that I’m a smoker!”
(Too much 2nd-hand smoke in my system.)
Circumstantial Dictates
“Making decisions from ‘have to’s,’ instead of ‘want to’s.”
It’s Been A Hard Road
Had To Leave A Store
“Due to a song that was trendy-aggravating.”
Pending Return
“Remember that cute little microwave that I got that fits so nicely on my counter top?
Well I am taking it back!
Because having to also unlock it every time before I press the open button is actually just one more step too much to tolerate for me!”
I Must Further
“Downsize my responsibilities.”
She Couldn’t Find It
“The rhythm kept getting broken up.”
(Continuous life disruptions)
Rote
“What do you do for fun, Athena?”
I Think That
“Moonlit strolls are off of the schedule for now…”
Sometimes,
“I just feel like a stack of wobbly bowling pins, trying to dodge that ball…”
‘Cause That’s What I Needed
“More pain and difficulty in walking.”
(Dancing Queen – ABBA)
“Looking For A Place To Go…”
“Like onto the ground – with a twisted ankle.”
(Title lyrics from an ABBA song)
Funny How
“Stepping sideways onto a suddenly unraveled shoe string can send you into a barely-controlled fall…”
A Significant Shift
“A piece of my occipital compression shift-released at last!”
Twitch
“It is hard for me to be in such close quarters with so many people, and hearing them through my walls and on top of my ‘ceiling.'”
Why?!
“Why would you have to – or want to – lock your microwave’s door?”
In My Home
“If the air smells like cologne, I want it to be from my guy’s – and I do not particularly like heavy scents.”
It Hurts
“When I miss my workouts.”
Life’s Force
Why did she feel compelled to touch the dead female deers abdomen?
In case there was a fawn trapped within.
She arrived so much later, and yet…
There was still such warmth within the doe’s abdomen.
Buffer
“What happened to having one?
Was that just illusion?”
Random
“How my life seems, lately…
I guess that’s survival mode.”
Jattery
“Nothing’s wrong, but synaptic impulses claim otherwise.”
Post-Strain Brain Injury Disregulation
After calling doctors for new symptom help:
“Now, back to my own physical therapy restabilizing exercises – because that’s the only thing that has ever really helped!”
“Mum’s” The Word
“If back off, I can receive help and time for more needed recovery.
But if I don’t also push – and precisely at that – then I miss the basic sustenance marker, under which I could still qualify.”
I Flow
“From one emotion to another, like tides meeting me on an open sea, while doing my best to direct where they will carry me – even when they are choppy.:
HeadAche
“I see glimpses of my true self returning.”
“Silver Linings”
The Hinge
She carefully transferred her beleaguered weight onto it, and let it swivel her up to the next higher plane.
