Something’s really bright in here!  I didn’t put any light in this room.  What’s going on?

Well, it’s time to get up anyway!

*pulls back covers and glances at Zoria 50000, who was glowing with a blinding light*

Oh my gosh!  Zoria 50000!  You’re flashing!

*wakes up*

Huh?  It must have just been a dream…

*Zoria 50000 yawns with a smile, smacking her lips*

Zoria 50000: *yawn* Tee hee…Kyle, I had a good dream.  A very good…DREAM!  Tee hee!

*Zoria 50000 flashes a bright yellow, flooding the room in radiant light*

What’s going on?  What is that around your neck?  No.  It isn’t.  The Kliz Necklace?!  And you’re not Zoria 50000 either!

Dark Zoria:  Tee hee!  I’m not, but I now have this pretty light!  Tee hee!  I’m my own night light!  Tee hee!  More light!  Tee hee!

*Dark Zoria absorbs all the light in the Realm of Imagination, which causes me to pass out*

Dark Zoria:  And you’re in there too!  Tee hee!  With this pretty necklace, I can find light everywhere!  Tee hee!

*Dark Zoria flashes, absorbing all the light in that realm*

*sigh* I’m guess that she read all of the ancient Rizanian words?  That relic was under lock and key for a reason.  Such power like that should be not handled by anyone.  Anyone!

The Creator: That is correct.  This arc is frozen for now.  Enjoy your make-up training!

Thanks.  This will be resolved later.  Believe me.

To be continued…

With work done for the week, a new weekend has begun.  A slightly different one at that.  With there being an E-Division make-up training tomorrow, I will be going to bed early tonight.  I have already bought all the food for the makeup training and I will be loading everything in the car tomorrow morning.

For now, I’m just going to take it easy before my early bedtime…

 

Zoria 50000:  So far, so good!  I’m really enjoying it at your Muse’s place.  Her books are pretty interesting and I have been learning so much from them…

Yes.  My Muse is an avid reader.  And the books that you’re reading are all of her current ones.

Zoria 50000:  CURRENT?  Where does she keep her older ones?

She keeps them in the world inside her.  She has so many books that her whole house wouldn’t have enough room for them.

Zoria 50000:  Wow!  Well, I’ll let you get ready for bed… *Zoria 50000 smiles*  Um Kyle?  When you’re all ready for bed, can you sleep over here?  I used these “intangible powers” from your Muse to create an extra bed!

Sure.  But do know that I will be leaving first thing in the morning.

Zoria 50000:  I know!  I should be able to say good bye before you go.  I’m only a heavy sleeper when I use a powerful sleep spell.  Hee hee!

Time to get ready now, and then have a “sleepover” with Zoria 50000.

Today’s high is going to be 81 degrees and the silver lining is it being Friday again.

To those of you who are rejoicing that it’s Friday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Meanwhile…

Dark Muse:  This universe is really big!  Tee hee!

*Dark Muse flies over the atmosphere of a large planet*

Dark Muse:  That looks like a pretty planet!  I wonder what I can find on it!

*Dark Muse lands on planet and approaches a large cave guarded by two powerful beings*

Dark Muse:  Cool!  I think I’ll play hide and seek, and they’re both it!  Can’t let them see me.  Tee hee…

*Dark Muse makes herself invisible and passes the two powerful guardians*

Dark Muse:  They’re not counting…Don’t they wanna play?  Oh well…Time to see what’s in this cave.  Tee hee!

*Dark Muse flies to the end of the cave and finds a door way blocked by four rock beings embedded in the wall*

Dark Muse: Wow!  Now THEY are playing hide and seek!  Found you! Found you!  Let’s play again!  Tee hee!

*The four rock beings detach from the wall, forming holes from where they were*

Rock Guardians:  We are the Four Rock Guardians of Riz!  You have no business to be back here.  The tunnels in this Great Cave of Zalkidite were dug to guard the forbidden relic that no being should ever touch.

Dark Muse:  Neat!  Tee hee!  So you rock monsters can talk?  Can we play hide and seek again?  You all can be it this time since I found you!  You should’ve found a better hiding spot…  Tee hee!

Rock Guardians:  We do not have time for trivial games.  This is the last room you will pass though.  You will not proceed any further!

Dark Muse:  Further?  Tee hee!  That’s a good idea!  All of you can close your eyes and I’ll go hide!  No peeking!  Tee hee!

*Dark Muse begins walking toward the four holed openings where the Rock Guardians sat*

Rock Guardians:  You will NOT proceed any further!  You can not get the Kliz Necklace!  The relic is forbidden to all!

Dark Muse:  Do you say necklace?  Is it a pretty necklace?  I want it!  Tee hee!

*Rock Guardians begin to approach Dark Muse, who is already running at the four holes and jumping through one of them at full speed*

Dark Muse:  There IS a pretty necklace!  Tee hee!

*Dark Muse puts the Kliz Necklace around her neck*

Dark Muse:  What is this old paper on the ground?  Tee hee?  (Dark Muse picks up paper and begins reading it.) Aka tacha ap op oav naer va ba toce boih qenr brip?….

*the entire cave and planet begins shaking, with Dark Muse flashing with a blinding yellow light*

Dark Muse:  EEE!  TEE HEE HEE HEE!

*the Rock Guardians dissolve into dust and the entire planet begins whirling into a enormous ball of dust*

If you read last year’s entry, you get the deal. When you have a hot day, you want a cold drink.  The solution?  A Slurpee.

FREE SLURPEES – 11 AM TO 7 PM

I’m not talking the cheap imitations that you find at various gas stations. I’m talking about the 7-Eleven Slurpee. This frozen drink is colder than its competitors. There are many imitators, but only one Slurpee.

And with Slurpees, you get…

*Muse exits Zoria 50000*

Muse: A brain freeze!

What? You didn’t get one yet?

Muse: If you’re hoping that I’m going to re-enact six years ago, that’s not going to happen. Besides, that Bad Idea possessed me six years ago…

Aw…I miss you shouting “brain freeze”.

Dark Muse: You mean like this? *Dark Muse takes a big sip from a large Slurpee cup* AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! BRAIN FREEZE!!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!

Thank you.

Dark Muse: Anytime. Tee hee! I love Free Slurpee Day. Whatever form I’m in, I will never miss it. Tee hee…

Dark Muse: I know. I already had my free Slurpee. I kind of stole it. Tee hee…

But it’s FREE! You can’t steal a free Slurpee!

Dark Muse: But I can steal the cup in the stock room before they start serving them! Tee hee…

You’re not supposed to do that.

Dark Muse: So? I’m imaginary! What’s one cup? Anyway, I’m gonna get three more Slurpees! Tee hee…

Muse: Three more? Are you out of your mind? I’m getting a free one later. That’s all.

Dark Muse: So? I love Slurpees! Tee hee…

Muse: *sigh* Whatever…

*Dark Muse teleports in a puff of smoke*

Zoria 50000:  Is this Slurpee supposed to be some kind of drink?

Muse:  Yes.  It’s really good.  I’ll have to make sure that you get one!

Zoria 50000: It sounds weird, but I’ll try one.  I will have to be careful if it can freeze your brain…

Muse:  It doesn’t really.  Your head just feels cold if you drink it too fast.  It’s a cold sensation…

It is.  Like last year, I’m actually glad that I have a normal Muse to celebrate 7/11 with this year…

Muse: So am I. Did I really act like that six years ago?

Sadly, yes. But you were in the wrong mind. Under the influence of a bad idea…

Muse: Well, it’s time for breakfast. I’ll see you later for…

Dark Muse: I’m back. Tee hee! I got another free slurpee and three more large Slurpees. I’m gonna drink them all right now! Tee hee! *gulps down free slurpee* Ohhhh!!!!! BRAIN FREEZE!

Heh heh. Serves you right for drinking it too fast.

Dark Muse: Well I can drink it as fast as I wanna! *gulps down three large Slurpees* Now I’ll…EEEEEP!!! I gotta pee! I gotta pee! I gotta pee!

Then go! I’m trying to cut down on the bathroom humor…

*Dark Muse disappears in a puff of smoke*

Muse: Anyway, I’ll see you later at 7-Eleven for the free Slurpee.  I hope you have a good day at work!

Zoria 50000:  I’ll want to come too!  I’ll want to try this “Slurpee” you speak of.

Muse:  You WILL enjoy it.  Trust me…

Thanks. For today, I will be working for the day.  I will then go to get my free Slurpee. After that, I’ll have the rest of the day off.

Today’s high is going to be 81 degrees and the silver lining today is obvious. FREE SLURPEE. Need I say more?

To those of you who love free Slurpees, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Muse:  Free Slurpees are a good break from the routine.  After that, I’ll go back to being a Zorpozian. She doesn’t understand Slurpees like I do!

Zoria 50000:  I don’t.  I can’t wait to try it!

To cut to the chase, I have a DEC meeting this evening.  With work finished for the day, I can focus on that.  This year, I am Area 15 Director for District 62.  The meeting starts at 7:00 and it will be a conference call.  After the call, I’ll be going to bed.  That’s about it for now.

Today’s high is going to be 90 degrees and the silver lining is being able to get some business done at the business meeting.

To those of you who like extracurricular activities, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Zoria 50000:  This is for Toastmasters, right?  That Muse was very into it as well.  Well, enjoy your meeting tonight!

Well, I told her and she’s on her way.  My Muse is on her way to the Tower of Muses for a special “surprise”.  I didn’t tell her what the “surprise” is, but she’s really excited about it.  All I told her was that a “surprise” was waiting for her on the top floor of the Tower of Muses…

The surprise, you ask?  As a Me & My Muse anniversary gift, I have decided to provide her with her own body.  Laying on the bed is a Muse that is ready to come to life.  All she needs to do is go inside it.

Muse (Day 1901):  Is she here yet?  Is she? Is she?  I wanna know!  Tee hee…

Muse (Day 2081):  AHHHHHHHH!!!!! The suspense is killing me!  Kyle, do me a favor and let me know when she’s here, okay?

Zoria 50000 (Day 2159): *sips coffee*  Can you let me know if she’s here?  She better hurry.  This coffee is starting to go through me…

Everyone.  Relax.  She’s on her way.  Until she arrives, you all have to hide.

*a flood of “okay’s” are heard in the room*

While my Muse is on her way, I might as well tell everyone my plans for today.  I will be working and then relaxing afterward.  It won’t be so bad having just enjoyed a whole weekend…

Shh!  Everyone in your places!  She’s on her way…

*dims light in room, until it turns off*

Muse:  What’s going on?  What is the meaning of this?  Why is everything so dark in here?  Kyle?

Me & 2191 Muses:  SURPRISE!!!!  HAPPY SIX YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!

Muse:  Oh wow!  There’s a bunch of Muses in here!  One from every past day, I’m guessing.

And…Did you look on the bed yet?

Muse:  What is this?  A Muse that is laying lifeless on the bed?

Guess.  What do you think it is?

Muse:  Wait!  Isn’t it another body?  You gave me one last year!

Happy anniversary.  It’s another body!  You can never have enough bodies.  What if something happens to the one you are in?  That body will not come to life unless you give it life.  It is yours.  Do you want to try it out?

Muse:   Why not?  Well I’m trying out my body right now!

*Ghost Muse flies out of Muse and into lifeless Muse, which begins to flash*

Original Muse:  It…It feels…A little different.  This is a good gift!  What if something happens to the one that you gave me last year?  With this one, I can be prepared.  Thank you, Kyle!

*Original Muse gives me a big hug with her new body*

I have another thing planned.  All the other Muses, enjoy the show!

Original Muse:  Show?  Oh yeah…(The spare body was a big surprise, but I knew about the show…)

Are you ready?

Original Muse:  I was born ready. Time to get into costume…

Then let’s get started.  Muses, take your places.  Here we go…

This is a tribute to every entry that has been done in the past year.  I wrote this just for you.  I hope you’re ready, because here it goes…

It continued with an Awesome Program and the sixth part of Brain Freeze.  And after that, he was pre-approved!

Original Muse: And this coffee really hits the spot!

And I’m quite sorry, miss. Coffee *sip* is still NOT for Muses!

Original Muse: It may not be, but it’s certainly for mermaids…

No it’s not!

Original Muse:  Says who?

Says me!

Original Muse:  Says you?

That does it!

Original Muse:  That does what?

Be quiet!

Original Muse:  Do I get a second chance to speak?

What did I tell you?  I need to finish!

Original Muse:  But you’ll never end!

Yes I will!

Original Muse:  Whatever!

Don’t believe me?

Original Muse: I don’t believe you!

Liar!

Original Muse:  But I’m telling the truth!

No you’re not!

Original Muse:  Yes I am!

Well, I’m not finished!

Original Muse:  Says who?

Says me!

Original Muse:  Yeah right!

Let me…

Original Muse:  FINISH!!! Tee hee…

In searching for a new car, it was not quite.  It was my new ride at the end of the weekend.  It was new car stuff with a new car countdown, followed by a sequel with the LeSabre’s last stand.  After that, it was car get! And he went “CamWHEEEEEEEE!!!” Then he was tired on a Wet Rainday.

Original Muse: I’m getting tired!

So am I!

Original Muse: Very tired!

Finally done?

Original Muse: Not even close!

Can I finish?

Original Muse: No you can’t!

Are you done?

Original Muse: I just got started!

Well, I’m not finished!

Original Muse: Says who?

Says me!

Original Muse: Yeah right!

Let me finish!

After a cereal trip and more car stuff, here we go.  It was WedNESday, with a long-awaited Bible study and journals of yesterday.  After SaturNESday and the rest of the weekend, it was a shorter week, with a halfway point and a chip off the new windshield.

Original Muse: I got a chip on mine too!

Really? You do?

Original Muse: That’s right!

Shut your trap!

Original Muse: Shut yours!

Can I finish?

Original Muse: No you can’t!

Are you done?

Original Muse: I just got started!

Well, I’m not finished!

Original Muse: Says who?

Original Muse: Yeah right!

Let me FINISH!

The weekend is here, with greetings from Hubbard Lake spanning two parts.  After being back home, it was R.I.P. iPod with another Toastmasters meeting.  After a brown haircut and coming attractions, it was weekend eve.  The weekend is here and early training is early.

Original Muse: Here I am!  I am the weekend!

You’re not the weekend!

Original Muse: Yes I am!

No you’re not!

Original Muse: Yes I am!

Just drop it!

Original Muse: You drop it!

Original Muse: …

Yeah right!

Original Muse: I better let him finish…

It was a happy birthday with a birthday aftermath.  And with a hot potluck, there was a halfway point.  With plenty of cake and a friend visit, he shouted “hooray for Friday!” It was a Saturday Summer Palooza with a dinner at Wixom Lake.  And after a spicy dinner, there was a farewell toast.

Original Muse: Do I get a farewell Toast?

What did I tell you? I need to finish!

Original Muse: But you’ll never end!

Yes I will!

Original Muse: Whatever!

Don’t believe me?

Original Muse: I don’t believe you!

Original Muse: FINISH!!! Tee hee…

The next day was done quick and he was Thaiing up Thursday with a Friday tidal wave. What to do on the last week of Summer.  There was a Monday monsoon with a clean bathroom and a two-day countdown.  And after a bible study, it was Labor Day weekend writing time.

Original Muse: Time to write!

Interrupting me again?

Original Muse: Yup yup yup!

Stop stop stop!

Original Muse: No no no!

What did I tell you? I need to finish!

Original Muse: But you’ll never end!

Original Muse: I’m glad it is.   Tee hee!

It was a clean room and Fuji fun.  The countdown begins with a happy birthborday.  A new toast was made to coming attractions and cooling down with a writing weekend and its sequel.  And lots of progress was made on a short Monday.

Original Muse: Short Monday?  Help! I’m trapped!

You’re trapped?

Original Muse: In this endless tribute.

But we’re almost done!

Original Muse: No! We’re a sixth done!

No. You’re over by two.

Original Muse: By two?

Interrupting me again?

Original Muse: Yup yup yup!

Original Muse: Yeah right!

LET ME FINISH!!!!!! Please! We’re almost done…

Original Muse: With this number, we are! Tee hee…

It was a day that I still never forget.  After that was a tired Wednesday, with work and a Toastmasters meeting.  Then was a Young Adult Night with writing time and a little housekeeping.  He had a good case of the Monday’s.  Then he opened up and said AHHHHHHHH!!!!!  And after a super early meeting, he entered the Tower of Muses again for the nineteenth ascent.

Original Muse:  What’s inside?

You know what!

Original Muse:  I can’t remember!

You can’t?

Original Muse:  I’m trapped.

You’re trapped?

Original Muse:  In this endless tribute.

But we’re almost done!

Original Muse:  No!  Two-fifths done!

Yup.  That’s right now.

Original Muse:  Right now?

Interrupting me again?

Original Muse:  Yup yup yup!

Stop stop stop!

Original Muse:  I just got started!

Well, I’m not finished!

Original Muse:  Says who?

Says me!

Original Muse:  Yeah right!

Now we’re finished!

Original Muse: Awesome! That was great! Just like we rehearsed! Only I have this awesome new spare body that you gave me and like last year, I don’t have to worry about being a ghost anymore! Time to switch into my next costume! I’ll be right back…

And now everyone…the metamorphosis! Everyone, brace yourself for a dark and bratty Muse!

Original Muse: Hey!  I heard that!  Tee hee!

I was just kidding.  Can’t you take a joke?

Original Muse:  Yup!  I’m all changed. Are we ready, Kyle?

Ready as I’ll ever be! Get ready for part two because here it comes…

It was the Dark Side of the Muse followed by a Summer Outro.  He was starting Fall off write by upping his game.  And with a brief start, there was an early meeting tomorrow. He had hot dogs and saw his sister’s place, followed by chimichangas, crepes, and a Bible study. And the new coming attractions featured more book progress and a new section.  And after another brief update, he had a Sunday start.

Original Muse:  I like Sunday starts! Tee hee!

So do I. Moving on…

There was shopping day and a good night.  A Survivor and a recharge. A movie night, a night in, self reflection, and a Think & Write.  And with a Survivor catchup, it was Journey Group Eve, putting him just past the halfway point…

Original Muse: Halfway point of what?  The week?  Tee hee!  I love weekends!

Yes.  It was the halfway point of the week.  And I love weekends, too.  Next!

After a haircut and a Bible study, it was a wonderful weekend.  With Miso Shrimp and more groceries, he experienced SunNESday, with a Bible study in question.  It was time for Toastmasters before putting on the brakes.  And after dinner at Grandma and Grandpa’s and Friday Fellowship, he was in a writing frenzy.

Muse:  Tee hee!  It sure looks like you’re in one now!

I certainly am!  Phew! *drinks a glass of water* Ahem…

“GERSBERMS! MAH FRAVRIT MERVIE! PERT TEUR!” he exclaimed.  He gained momentum with a Tuesday mole day with the middle of the week nearing the top.  And with it finally being Friday, he was jumping into action with a brief end of weekend update.  He got his car back, complete with a Halloween checklist.

Original Muse: Oh!  I love Halloween!  Can I dress up?  Tee hee!

You’re a Dark Muse so you’re already dressed up!  Moving on…

Trick or Treat was the question.  On fumes was the answer.  After greeting the weekend, he was falling back with his mission accomplished.  He had a different Sunday with a cheeseburger in paradise.  After Election Day, he an Elder Forum, followed by the eve before Friendsgiving and Friendsgiving.

Original Muse: What holiday is Friendsgiving?  I never heard of that!  I like Thanksgiving better!  Tee hee!

It’s a pre-Thanksgiving event with friends.  And yeah.  It’s hard to beat Thanksgiving.

Original Muse:  Yup.

Time for the second half…

It was getting cold with some improvement being much better.  It was a chill evening with another quick one after a long day.  It was a snow day with solitude and a mission revolution.  A short week followed.

*sips a glass of water* Next page…

An early weekend led to Thanksgiving eve with a happy Thanksgiving.  It was shop till you drop and then we’re going to the internet!  Christmas music played before you click till you drop.  After Taco Tuesday, he was so tired with pork rinds and Survivor.

Original Muse: Pork rinds?  Yuck!  I like cookies and goldfish crackers!  Tee hee!

Well, your tastes are different since you’re a Dark Muse. Moving on…

It was time for the weekend with a change of plans before singing “O Christmas Tree” and going Christmas shopping.  And after making a Christmas Toast, this is all you get.  He was wrapping more gifts and Charlie Brown.  It’s Friday again, with Christmas memories and a Christmas party, followed by the sequel.

Original Muse: I love Christmas!  Especially when I was younger.  Tee hee!

So do I! On to the next ten…

After the third and fourth part of Christmas memories, he was wrapping up this day.  It was Kimchi Impossible with a progressive dinner and a YouTube Christmas Marathon.  And after a vanishing weekend, the Christmas countdown continued with a Christmas Toast and Christmas break eve.

Original Muse: Christmas break?  Don’t break Christmas!  Tee hee!

Don’t worry.  I won’t.  Let’s talk more later. Moving on…

He had a Christmas haircut, and I’m all about that list.  And after the true meaning of Christmas was revealed, the conductor shouted “All Aboard!” Twas the Day Before Christmas happened, and then it was a Merry Christmas.  The Christmas Aftermath followed with a holiday with Mary.  And after an extended NESday, he entered the Tower of Muses for the twentieth ascent.

Original Muse: Tee hee!  That was amazing!  And what was even more amazing was the milestone.

That’s right!  That wasn’t just any old milestone.  That was the 2000th entry!  It really was extra special and I enjoyed that ride to the top.

Original Muse:  Wasn’t it fun?  I enjoyed that ride with you, too.

Now where were we?

Original Muse: We were on the six year anniversary.  Only 192 more! We still have a whole lot…Tee hee…

I know. Are you ready?

Original Muse: I am!  Tee hee!  I’m going to go and change now!  Tee hee!

And now everyone…The next metamorphosis! Everyone, be prepared for someone truly original! It looks like she’s ready…

Original Muse: All changed!  I’m ready to go now.  Are you ready?

Absolutely. Brace yourself for part three of this epic homage to the entries of yesterday…

Original Muse:  Oh!  I’m so excited!  Let’s go!

It was ExperiMENTAL 3.0 with a Happy New Year starting off with goodNES.  It was the last NESday leading to the first cold of the year with its sequel.  The Dayquil…Nyquil… cycle was initiated with him feeling a little better.  He was almost there with a busy day ahead of him.

Original Muse: A busy day?  Don’t forget to take a break!

Don’t worry.  I won’t.  Alright then. Moving onward…

It was time for Financial Peace.  And with it being Thursday already, he began his end of week winddown.  He had an Awesome Entry Done Quick with another quick one followed by a happy Monday.  And with icing on the cake, there was extra icing and a lucky day.  And with Financial Peace being a day late, the weekend is here!

Original Muse:  Yay!  Weekends are the best!

They are!  Let’s move on…

The day was fun.  And with a shivering Sunday, it was Welcome to Siberia!  There was Toastmasters Day and the roller coaster continues after that.  It was then coasting downward to the first YAN of the Year.  He was keeping warm with the cold before the storm.  Then the snow storm cometh.

Well?

Original Muse: Brrr!  All this talk about snow is making me crave hot chocolate.  Can I make some real quick?

No.  We need to finish this tribute.  Let’s continue…

It was the cold after the storm where the roller coaster continues.  BRRR!!!!! It’s cold!  And then there was two days of the NESday weekend followed by the third part of Super Bowl Large.  It was back to the grind for another trip around the track.  Another Wednesday led to ice and rain.

Original Muse: *sips hot chocolate*  That’s better.  Can we get to some warmer weather, please?

That’s going to be a while.  We’re still in February. *sips water* Time for the next ten…

He was starting Friday off write with more progress, Sunday solace, and the calm before the next snow storm.  The storm begins again with an Adult DG and a Ramsey Course.  Happy Hallmark Day led to being Singled Out with the Feathers and Fedoras Edition.  And after a chill weekend, he went to a city.

Original Muse: Metropolis right?  I love Anime Movie Week!

Yup.  That’s Metropolis!  Moving on…

He saw an invention, an airplane, a fish, a borrower, a castle, and a bathhouse in the distance before encountering a windy weekend.  He gave the short version of the weekday summary with a super short Tuesday and a midpoint mission.

Original Muse: And that’s Wednesday, right?  Clever wording!

Thanks.  Time for another ten…

Four out of Five ain’t bad.  Because she’s back with some Saturday story progress.  The second half of the weekend happened, and Monday’s here.  And with Mardi Gras and a Toastmasters meeting, he had a Fat Tuesday hangover.  He was nearing the end.  And it’s here, once again with more writing!

Original Muse: Yes!  Ideas are good!  The more, the better.

They surely are. Only 30 more for this set…

“It’s a me, MAR10!” the plucky plumber shouted.  Then I shouted “Happy birthday, Dad!” It was Tuesday done easy, with another easy one that was easy as Pi.  The Friday filler was added with Corned Beef a day early.  And after a Lucky Day, Dayquil…Nyquil returned with the second dose and a Spring-ish Toast.

That’s it!

Original Muse: Spring-ish?  That’s not good enough.  Go away, Winter!

Don’t worry.  Winter will leave.  We’re almost done…

It was time for Spring to open up and say AHHHHHHHH!!!!!  The flavor of the week was springing into YAN with a SaturNESday funday.  And now for something different. He got a car wash, eating more chicken with the next flavor of the week.  It was time to watch a sermon, time to watch Survivor, and time for the weekend.

Original Muse: And it’s time to wrap up this set!

I’ll say!  Just 10 more and we will be done!

He did some milestone prep and had the Me & My Muse Series Finale.  He continued his blog with Me & My Music and was feeling the Melody on the first day.  He had some April toast with some odds and ends before winding down.  He ate a Friday Sushi Surprise, followed by a speech contest, Five Guys, and more writing.  And after he sung “Here Comes the Sun” he entered the Tower of Muses for the twenty-first ascent.

Original Muse: Wonderful!  Set complete!  Can I go change now?

By all means!  Go and change!  Are you ready?

Original Muse: Yeah!  This is going to be a weird one, but I’m up for it.  I’m going to change now!

Okay.  Let me know when you’re done!

Original Muse:  I will!

And now everyone…The next form! Everyone, get ready for a mysterious blonde that’s out of this world…

Zoria 50000: All ready. But you’re not.  Why do you look so much older?

It’s because you’re looking at Future Me.  That’s why.

Zoria 50000:  Future you, huh?  Okay.  That’s fine.  Are you ready, Kyle?

Yes.  I’m ready.  Brace yourself for part four of this epic homage to the entries of yesterday…

It was a long quest and very busy.  He had a frosty nightmare and an epileptic Survivor.  He was welcoming the weekend with a room clean-out and the next flavor of the week. After a Palm Sunday Respite, there was a Spring snow storm and the next flavor of the week.  After a mid-month toast, there was Autism trivia.  And being very hungry, I want a PIZZA!

Zoria 50000: So do I!  After hearing all that you have said about earth food, I want to try this pizza that you speak of.

We will surely have one later.  Let’s move on, okay?

It was a Good Friday and a well crafted day to say “Happy Easter!” He had a taste of Summer with a side of toast.  Life Group happened during the endgame.  Dream, Believe, Achieve are good things worth repeating.  It was greetings from East Lansing before he prepared the Toastmasters District 62 Spring Conference Aftermath.

Zoria 50000: Toastmasters?  Now that you mentioned it, it sounds familiar.  For some reason, I have these memories of this Muse, and her experience with Toastmasters.

Yes.  Those are my Muse’s memories alright. Moving on to the next ten…

He had week one of the Life Group and then it was Loons Baseball Time.  There was May rain with a sweet treat.  And with a Friday escape, May the Fourth be with you.  It was Cinco de Summer, with a Camry, Checkup, Enchiladas, and Life Group.  A double toast led to part two of the endgame.  Now it’s personal!

Zoria 50000: You also talked about earth entertainment with me.  That Endgame movie does sound awesome…

It was Time to move on. We still have 62…

With the Sacred Search beginning, it was time for some Yoshicraft with some arts and crafts.  “Happy Mother’s Day!” was shouted, with some speech preparation.  One year…already?  Time flies when you’re busy at a new job.  It was the last Adult DG of the year with week 2 of the Sacred Search followed by a crafty conclusion with some hide and seek.

Zoria 50000: Hide and seek?  We have a game similar to that on Zorpoz.  It’s a little bit different but a lot of fun.

Different, huh?  We’ll have to talk about that more later.  Shall we continue now?

With a Sunday storm, he bought some khaki shorts and groceries.  There was more toast before he said “I Choose You…” The Sacred Search continued with week 3 before NESmorial Day Weekend begins.  There was plenty of Saturday goodNES, with a NESday Sunday aftermath, followed by a NESmorial Day conclusion and a two-day week.

Zoria 50000:  Two days?  You’re referring to your work schedule, right?

I am. 42 more and we’ll be finished.  Let’s continue…

After a pre-flight checklist, there was a day of sorrow followed by a movie and a wedding.  It was a chill weekend before the final respite. The last life group of the year happened before the first toast in June.  And after a brief Wednesday update, he shouted “YEAH! COFFEE!” and gave a yawn of relief.

Zoria 50000:  A yawn?  I thought that relief was expressed with a sigh.

It is, but the sigh becomes a yawn when you’re tired, okay?  Time to move on.

There was dancing fever and food trucks.  Then he shouted “Happy 60th Birthday, Mom!” before sighing Monday Monday.  There was toast and pie and it was time for a barbecue.  He was back in black before another weekend begins.  And after a Saturday shower, it was a Happy Father’s Day followed by a car wash.

Zoria 50000:  You take cars?  Our modes of transport are a little different.  For just traversing the planet, we use a variation of what you would call a hovercraft.

Yes.  Cars are different than your mode of transport.  Anyway, we’re on a roll.  Let’s keep going…

There was a white flight and a gathering at the park.  It was wet and weary before Friday: the Summer Edition.  And after Toy Story 4 and its encore, a monsoon happened.  It was a chill Tuesday with a happy hour while he turned up the heat…

Zoria 50000:  How hot?  My gills allow me to withstand extremely high temperatures!

By that standard, we’re not talking too much heat here.  Only about 88 degrees.  Time for the next ten…

It was a Friday Flush with a summer post done quick with plenty of summer leftovers done quick afterward.  And after Fiscal New Year’s Day, he had a short week where he went up north for the Fourth and exclaimed “Happy Independence Day!” and “Greetings from Hubbard Lake!”  He was then back home for the end of the long weekend.

Zoria 50000:  That long weekend was a lot of fun.

It certainly was.  Just two more and we’re done!

At the beginning of the work week, there was no doubting with Me & My Muse at six years and counting.

Original Muse: Yay! We did it! As challenging as it was to play Zorpozian Muse, it was a whole lot of fun…The other forms were enjoyable too…

I know. And that performance was amazing. Anyway, that’s the tribute for this year.

Original Muse: I’m still beyond words. I had no idea that I was going to get a spare body. And then, we pulled off that flawless performance. Mermaid Muse, Dark Muse, Original Muse, and Zorpozian Muse. Changing into all those forms was a lot of fun.

I imagine. There were so many costume changes…

Original Muse: Yeah. It was quite the workout.  Form after form after form after form!  That was hard!

But we pulled it off, and now you have a new spare body. Happy six-year anniversary!

Original Muse: You know, our relationship goes beyond Me & My Muse. Beyond these 2192 entries.

Indeed it does. I first started to talk about you in a couple of Think & Writes.

Original Muse: Ah. But our relationship goes beyond that even. Actually, a really long time…

It does. When I first felt creativity inside of me, that was you, right?

Original Muse: It was. All the way back when you were in fourth grade. You wrote The Brick Building. Now granted I was there before that, but I was too young to nurture my own ideas. And you heard it from me first. It was back then when I first started to have a crush on you.

25 years? You’ve had a crush on me for 25 years? And to be honest, I think that you were with me before I even started writing.

Original Muse: You’re right. I was there when you made up all those games when you were little. Where did you get the ideas? That was me. Hee hee! But I first started paying more attention to you when I was ten…

I agree. You and I go way back. All the way back to when my imagination first started taking form…

Original Muse: You were just a baby…

But aren’t we all? That’s where imagination starts. But when adulthood happens, a lot of that is lost…

Original Muse: You’re the lucky one. You still have me. And your imagination is never going to die. I’ll be sure of it!

Here’s to six years of these, right?

Original Muse: To six years, and many more! You started with something ExperiMENTAL, but look at where we are now!

I know…

*kisses Original Muse on the lips*

I still love the daily format. That is not changing. For shorter or longer, it’s staying the same.

Original Muse: I’m going to enjoy my new spare body. Come to my house when you’re ready…

You want me to pin you to the floor with a bunch of kisses, right?

Original Muse: *gives me a kiss on the lips* Yeah. *chuckles* See you around…

So there you have it. Six years of this experiment. An experiment where I said that if it doesn’t work, you will never see one of these again. 2192 of them later, I believe that they’re here to stay. This is an experiment that I have no regrets in starting at all. But before I continue, some ground rules.

In very much the same fashion as last year, I’m retiring rant posts forever. If there is ever any reason why I should be angry, it should not be expressed here. I want this blog to be a resource to everyone, and full of positive posts. If I am ever having a rough day, I will let you know, but I won’t express my negative feelings on this site anymore. None of you want to read that and I feel like it doesn’t do anything constructive. If it must go somewhere, it should be in a private journal, where the only reader is me, and not all of you.

My Muse is here to stay. If for some reason you still don’t like my Muse, there are plenty of other websites to go to, besides this one. My Muse is an expression of my inner longing for a significant other and my seamstress of creativity.

The high for today is going to be 84 degrees and the silver lining is celebrating six years of this experiment.

To all who had the patience to read this, I congratulate you.

Now if you would excuse me.  I need to go and talk to my Muse…in private…

To summarize, my first day back was quite productive.

I just woke up from dreaming about everything that I experienced for the past several days.  So far, I’ve been bored out of my mind with Zoria 50000…

Zoria 50000:  Let’s go back to sleep.  I’m not going to die of boredom!

Are we going to dream of being back on Earth again?

Zoria 50000:  Yes.  It sure beats sitting around the ship and being bored all day.

Very well.  I’m going back to sleep now…

There.  I’m back at home, and…

Zoria 50000: I’m back, too!  It’s such a nice day so I’m going to bathe in the sun at your Muse’s place.  You should visit me there!  See you in a bit!  🙂

*Zoria 50000 vanishes in a beam of light*

I think I’ll go over there and visit Zoria 50000.  Nothing like a nice visit to end this first day of the week.

Today’s high is going to be 81 degrees and the silver lining is having a productive day on my first day back.

To those of you who are enjoying this Monday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Zoria 50000:  Ah…This sun feels so great!  All I need is a good beverage and I’ll be all set…

To summarize,  this weekend has been quite fun. I really enjoyed going up north and spending the remainder of the time back at home.

Today, I went to church and and had breakfast with my grandparents and aunt.  With the last part of my day left, I’m going to enjoy what’s left of it.  Time to do that and get ready for tomorrow…

Today’s high is going to be 79 degrees and the silver lining is being able to enjoy the last day of the long weekend.

To those of you who enjoyed this Fourth of July weekend, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse:  I really enjoyed this weekend, too.  Time to practice my lines for tomorrow…

It is official. The weekend is winding down, and I’m now back home.

To reflect, this weekend was pretty fun. I went swimming and went for a boat ride. The ice cream was also good. Overall, it was pretty fun.

But with the weekend almost over, it’s now time to enjoy what’s left of it. My cat really missed me so I’ll make sure she gets plenty of attention…

Now for the ending. Today’s high is going to be 83 degrees and the silver lining was being able to enjoy one more day off.

To those of you who like spending weekends away from home, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Muse: I’m glad that you were able to enjoy your weekend! I surely did. Wasn’t the swimming and boat ride fun?

In honor of our country’s 243rd year of independence,  I will raise the flag and display it proudly.

 

This morning, I will be having a nice breakfast with my family, since I’m up north for the Fourth.  It will be bacon and eggs, so it should be pretty good  We haven’t gotten everything out yet…

A little later today, I’ll either ride on the kayak or go out on the boat with the family.  Later on, we might see some fireworks when the sun sets.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate…

Muse: I’m seeing them with you. The Realm of Imagination doesn’t have fireworks. I have to get ready for tonight. Happy Independence Day! I’ll see you tonight!

Thanks. I’ll see you tonight at the fireworks.

It’s time for another salute to the flag. The symbol of our freedom that we still have. Happy birthday America!

The high for today is going to be 87 degrees and the silver lining is seeing fireworks with my family tonight.

To those of you who love celebrating the Fourth and fireworks, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Happy Independence Day, Kyle! Time for a shower…

With this short week all finished, I’m now in the final stages of checking all the things that I packed.  Swimming suit?  Check.  Flip flops?  Whoa!  They’re not in there but now they are!  Check!  Sunglasses?  Just grabbed them.  Check! Laptop?  Can’t pack that until last.  But check!

As a departure from all the past years that I have spent the Fourth of July, I will be heading up north for the Fourth.  I am hoping for good weather so that I can see the fireworks.  You can’t have fireworks while it’s raining.

Oh, and the story arc is frozen for this whole weekend so we can relax and take it easy.

 

Muse:  Yay!  I’m all packed!  Are you?

Just about.  I just need to double check a few more things.

Muse:  I don’t.  I have only done that about 20 times.  Well, let me know when you’re leaving!  I’m heading back to my house to read a book while I’m waiting.  Bye!

*Muse vanishes in a beam of light*

I honestly don’t have too much more to pack.  When everything’s in the car, both my brother and me will be on our way.  We will probably stop at a place in Standish to eat.  There will be traffic delays, so I’ll be ready for that.

Time to land this so I can be on my way.  It’s time that I begin my Fourth of July vacation!

Today’s high is going to be 84 degrees and the silver lining is being able to go up north for the Fourth of July.

To those of you who like road trips and spending time with family, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse:  Is he going to leave yet?  I have already finished two chapters and I’m still waiting!  I think I’ll go and check again…

And a short entry to go with it.  With only two days before the Fourth of July, I’ll be taking the other day off after that.

What that means for me is a long weekend.  Time to begin the end of this week, and get ready for the last day of this short week, which is tomorrow.

Today’s high is going to be 86 degrees and the silver lining is only having a three day work week.

To those of you who like oddly placed holidays, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse:  The Fourth being on a Thursday is kind of odd.  Enjoy your day!

Guess what, everyone? It’s New Year’s Day! Okay. Maybe not New Year’s Day, but it’s New Year’s Day for the Fiscal Year. Starting today, the calendars will all roll over to the beginning of a new Fiscal Year. Isn’t that exciting?

Not excited? Okay. Well, I am. I am going to relax for the day, and…

Zoria 50000: Kyle, I would like to talk to you about something important.  It’s regarding the world you live in.  Can we meet in my room?  Oh, and be sure to turn into your younger form, okay?

Halt! This story arc will resume tomorrow. One Privilege, ENGAGE!

*Zoria 50000 transforms into Muse*

Muse: Oh.  You’re working on that big anniversary post, right?  Okay.  We’ll continue on it tomorrow. It’s very important!

Okay. Enjoy your day off.

Muse: I will. Time for some reading!

Time to enjoy the remainder of this day. After that, I will call it a night.

Today’s high is going to be 90 degrees and the silver lining is it being so warm outside.

To those of you who are happy about the Fiscal Year beginning, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Muse: Time to catch up on some reading. I can’t wait until tomorrow. I have some questions about earth…
