I guess I’m working nonstop now, without breaks.  Same route as before.  Just another day that I have to work it.  Time to get ready and get this Monday route out of the way.  At least I have Midnight Muse and Dark’s  delicious food to come home to.  It is so good.  You all should try it…

Today’s high is going to be 82 degrees and the silver lining is later on when I’m done with this shift.

To those of you who hate Mondays like Garfield, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Midnight Muse: 100,000 more restaurants!  Tomorrow, we will own them all!

Dark Muse: Then yummy food everywhere!  Tee hee!

Midnight Muse:  That’s right.  Our food will be in every grocery store!

Dark Muse:  I want some NOW!  Tee hee!

Yes.  It’s a brand new day.  But that’s not what I’m referring to.

What I’m referring to is our Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman.

Wait a second.  Who is Spiderman?  Ever since Doctor Strange used his mysterious spell, nobody in the entire universe knows who this Spiderman is anymore.

As a result, Peter Parker has to cope with a new world where his best friend Ned doesn’t even know who he is.  Worst of all, MJ doesn’t know who he is anymore.

It’s a new world for Peter Parker with a world that doesn’t know him.  It’s a brand new day.

And with Peter Parker coping with his new reality, he also has to deal with a radical change in the mutation of his DNA.  Since he was bitten by a radioactive spider, his DNA has final began to mutate.  With all the changes going on, he has no choice but to consult a Doctor Bruce Banner, who is now a college professor.

A concerned Peter Parker shares with Professor Banner about his mutation.  A professor and Avenger who has no memory of ever meeting Peter Parker. With all these new challenges and a new villain threatening the safety of the planet, what can Peter Parker do to address them, while addressing his isolation and problems with the mutation?

With my 5:15 p.m. VIP ticket for my movie, I will see all the answers revealed to me soon.  Believe it or not, I am actually late to the party.  Spiderman: Brand New Day has grossed nearly $2 billion and I still haven’t seen it yet (actually about $1.8 billion as I am typing this). After I finish my Amazon Sunday,  I will be leaving for the movie later on.  I will let you know how it turns out.

Today’s high is going to be 85 degrees and the silver lining is seeing Spiderman: Brand New Day tonight.

To those of you who like to see blockbuster movies, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse:  Time to celebrate this movie in style!

Twin Muse:  I’m waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of you, twinnie!

*Twin Muse flashes to reveal herself in an iron Spiderwoman suit similar to Iron Man’s invention*

Muse:  I was just about to do that!

*Muse flashes to reveal herself in an iron Spiderwoman suit similar to Iron Man’s invention*

Muse & Twin Muse:  Spider Sisters assemble!

Muse:  We’re seeing the movie, too!

Twin Muse:  It’s going to be awesome!  I can’t wait!

The work weekend officially begins today.  I’ll be working another route at the post office and will be going to my niece’s birthday party afterwards.  That’s pretty much it.  Time to get ready.

Oh, and you definitely need to try the delicious cuisine from Midnight Muse and Dark Muse.  You need to try it…

Today’s high is going to be 82 degrees and the silver lining is going to my niece’s birthday party later on.

To those of you who celebrating birthdays with your family, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Midnight Muse:  It worked!  He is completely under our control! 100 new restaurants belong to us today.  By Monday, every restaurant will be serving our cuisine.  At this rate, the world will be brainwashed by our irresistible food!

Dark Muse:  I love the food!  It’s so yummy!  Tee hee!

What?  A birthday recap a day late?!  Well, work has kept me busy so you get the recap today instead of yesterday.

With my birthday over, it is now time to relax and take it easy today. Before we do that, I would like to recap on what I did for my birthday. Two days ago and last night in particular.

First all, the morning. I pretty much took it easy and played Metal Gear Solid 2.

After that, I worked on the Twins Days recap and I can’t believe it. I ACTUALLY finished it!

PSYCHE!  I still have a lot to work on so it won’t be done for a while…

Later on, my brother and I met my parents at the restaurant for dinner. We had dinner at A-1 Hibachi Steak & Sushi House with my parents, sister, brother in law, nieces, and grandma. I ordered an Awesome Roll with Filet Mignon and Lobster. It came with onion soup, house salad, and the main course: fried rice and veggies with my Filet Mignon cooked to perfection (medium rare).  The cook was so entertaining and he even threw veggies at us!  I caught one in my mouth.  They even brought out a complimentary fried ice cream with a candle. My brother and I opened our cards and our gifts from Mom and dad. Overall, the dinner was amazing.

After the dinner came the cake and ice cream. The cake was from Meijer. After my parents sang “Happy Birthday to You”, I blew out the candle with my brother, and we all ate cake and ice cream. I had a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of chocolate.

Overall, my birthday was fun…

Time to end this now. I will continue my searching for work, and relaxing afterward. I will then enjoy the remainder of my day after that.

 

Muse:  Kyle!  How about you eat at our restaurant!

Twin Muse:  We insist, Kyle!  It’s on us.  We’re paying for it!

A free meal at one of my Twin Muses restaurants?  How can I resist?  Time to enjoy the food now.

 

Today’s high is going to be 84 degrees and the silver lining is being able to enjoy some leftover birthday cake later on.

To those of you who like leftover birthday cake after your birthday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse (Clone):  Kyle has no idea what’s going on!  Taking over his Muse was so easy!

Twin Muse (Clone):  Tee hee!  It was very easy!  Can we give him the food now?

Midnight Muse:  Sure.  Kyle, I hope you enjoy your delicious gourmet meal!  Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Dark Muse:  Eat it and enjoy!  Tee hee!

Muse: I hope you enjoyed your birthday, Kyle. I know I did. Thanks for the presents! I hope you liked mine!

Twin Muse: And mine! My presents were quite fun, weren’t they?

 

Wow.  It looks like my meal is already done.  Time to dig in!

Whoa…What’s going on?

Midnight Muse and Dark Muse’s food is the very best….

With my birthday over, it is now back to the grind.  Another day at the post office and I can enjoy the rest of the day.  Time to get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 83 degrees and the silver lining is having the rest of the day off later on.

To those of you who are eager to get your work done, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Get it done and you can enjoy your day!  Time to check on our restaurants…

Twin Muse: *sips coffee*  You got this.  Now come on, twinnie!  We should check on the hibachi place first!  They’re having supply chain issues.  Let’s get this resolved!

Once again, the day is here again. I’m another year older. Another year wiser. Getting on the subject of birthdays, I really love them. Most of us love celebrating the day of our birth. This is usually done with presents, a special dinner and the cake and ice cream, with is the staple for most birthday parties.

Birthdays are also the time that you get numerous people coming out of the woodwork. If you have a facebook, you will find a number of people that you normally never talk to wishing you happy birthday. I actually don’t have a problem with this, since everyone who does this are people that I do know. Some, however, are people that I haven’t talked to in years. Oh facebook and your birthday stalkers. You never cease to amaze me…

 

Muse and Twin Muse:  Happy birthday, Kyle!

For me? Thank you!

Muse: We will not be chefs on your birthday, so you won’t have to worry about that.

Twin Muse:  Isn’t that great?  Just our normal selves!

That’s nice to hear.  I wouldn’t want you two to be preoccupied on my birthday!

Muse: Actually, I have something to do.  I’ll be right back.

Twin Muse:  Me too!  I…forgot something!

Really? Not on my birthday!

Muse: Just kidding! Really.  There’s no strings attached.  I promise.

Twin Muse:  True!  We’re not hiding anything!

I can remember how last year’s birthday was.  You were just influencers.  The year before that, you were your normal selves.  The year before that, you were not even around, since I abandoned birthday posts for an or at least a year.  The year before that, there was no entry.  The year before that, you were a teen Muse. The year before that, you were a tween and you took the day off so that you could spend it with me.  The year before that, you were a mermaid and you took the day off so that you could spend it with me.  The year before that, you were a Jedi and you took the day off so that you could spend it with me.  The year before that, you were were a baby and I wished for you to be an adult for a day.  And the year before that, you were brought from the past with Gabrielle so that I could celebrate my birthday with you. And the year before that, you were just getting over your shy tics. And the year before that, you were the Dark Muse…

Muse: You mean the Bad Idea, right? For just that one day, I was normal. After that, the Bad Idea took over again. It was terrible.

Twin Muse:  It was pretty bad…

But everything is good this year, right?

Muse: It’s fine. There’s nothing that you need to worry about. So, what do you want to do, birthday boy?

Whatever I want. After all, it is my birthday, right?  Well, I don’t have any work today, unfortunately.  Besides that, everything else is fair game.

Muse: Right. It took me quite a while to make that cake, so please eat all of it.

Twin Muse:  I helped too so please finish that!

Don’t worry. I will, just for you two.

Muse: Don’t I get a piece?

We’ll all eat it. We’ll eat it together…

Twin Muse: What about your brother?

All four of us. We will all eat it together.

Muse: Sounds good to me!

Twin Muse:  Me too!

You both…look beautiful. Even more so than other days.

Muse: It’s for you. I appreciate your level of creativity. It keeps me healthy. The new ideas that are born. The ideas that eventually ripen into the most delicious of food. There is never a shortage. You always provide for me, and I’m thankful for it.

Twin Muse:  And me.  I mean, you have always had both of us.  Well, at least in this timeline.  I can’t imagine a timeline where you only had one Muse…

Well, if I leave you two starved, it doesn’t help me at all. I don’t mind going the extra mile to keep both of you healthy.

Muse: Your food has given me a unique vitality. One that almost blurs the lines of reality and imagination. I long to be a person like you, but alas…There is a wall of separation between us.

Twin Muse:  Look for the real version of me!

Deja vu much?

Muse: I know. I said that four years ago, and it’s still something that I long for. When you find your wife, you will find me. The REAL me.

Muse: Like four years ago, I will ask again. What do you want to do on your birthday?

Twin Muse:  What do you want, Kyle?

I just want to have a nice dinner with my family. A nice dinner with some cake and ice cream.

Muse: As you wish. It’s your day, so I won’t sway any of your decisions.

Twin Muse:  That’s a good wish!

Good. I’m sure that you won’t be swayed by this…

*gives Muse and Twin Muse a kiss on the lips*

Muse: Hey. I was just about to kiss you! My turn!

*Muse gives me a big kiss*

Twin Muse: Don’t forget about me!  I get a turn!

*Twin Muse gives me a big kiss*

That was really good. There’s plenty more where that came from later.

Muse: Not too later. I want to be back by midnight.  I don’t want to spoil my beauty rest…

Twin Muse:  Same here!  I need lots of sleep!

Oh yeah. That’s right. Well, I better enjoy my time with you two while it lasts…

Muse: I’ll enjoy my time with you as well. Anyway, I’ll let you get ready. Happy 42nd Birthday, Kyle!

Twin Muse:  Happy 42nd Kyle!

*Muse and Twin Muse gives me another kiss and vanishes back into my head*

Aren’t they both amazing? I love them immensely and I hope to meet her true identity some day…

From that exchange, it looks like my Muses already gave me their gift, and I shared it with both of them. I will also eat all of that cake with her, Twin Muse, and my brother. Man, am I going to feel that in the morning.

For today, I will be enjoying my birthday today.  After that, I will have a nice dinner with my brother, parents, sister, brother in law, nieces, grandma, and aunt at A-1 Hibachi Steak & Sushi House for a normal time dinner. After that, we will come home for cake and ice cream. Today’s high is going to be 86. It’s supposed to be mostly sunny so that will be nice. The silver lining today is pretty obvious. It is my birthday and my brother and I will be enjoying it.

To all of you who love birthdays like I do, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Happy 42nd birthday, Kyle! I hope that yours is a really good one…

Twin Muse:  Happy 42nd birthday, Kyle!  Enjoy all your gifts, dinner, and cake!

Yup.  Having returned from Twins Days, it’s time for a checkup with my arm.  It looks mostly healed so that shouldn’t be too long of an appointment.

I also have some errands to run before my birthday tomorrow so I need to get going on that.  That’s pretty much this day in a nutshell.

Today’s high is going to be 84 degrees and the silver lining is getting some errands done.

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

 

Muse: It looks like our restaurants did okay while we were gone.  And it’s time to open up two more!  That will start this weekend!

Twin Muse: And at the rate we are going, ten more should be open by next weekend!  And did you hear, twinnie?  We got our first Michelin star!

 

Meanwhile…

Midnight Muse:  A restaurant?  That’s it!  Let’s use their popular restaurants to hypnotize everyone.  Our cuisine will rule the world!

Dark Muse:  Yummy food!  I eat it all!  Very yummy!  Tee hee!

With my brother and I staying in Twinsburg for another day, the event is not quite over yet.  Check out the pictures from Day 3!

 

For tonight, my brother and I may consider going bowling, but we have done that before in 2022 so we may just chill for tonight.  If anything else happens, I’ll let you know!

Today’s high is going to be 87degrees and the silver lining is spending one more day in Twinsburg.

To those of you like having one more day of vacation, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Yay! This is the last day!

Twin Muse: Should we go bowling with the other twins?

Muse: Only if you want to!

Twin Muse: Let’s do it! There’s a lot of other twin friends that want us to go so let’s go!

Today has been quite fun so far.  To summarize, I will divide the day up as follows.  The fun, the festivities, and the fireworks.

First, the fun.  This morning, I and my brother were able to march in the Double Take parade.  The pictures leading up to and including the event are as follows:

 

 

After the parade, my brother and I did the four things.  Two-sided mirror, pins, buttons, and survey.  More on this in the full recap.

Next, the festivities.  I went to the festival and ate food, had some dippin dots, and met more twins.  The next pictures will summarize all of this:

 

What remains is the fireworks.  I recently finished eating dinner and now I’m ready to hit the festival again.  The firework show starts at 9:30, so I will want to be there for that.  It should be fun, and a good way to end this second day of the Twins Days Festival.

Today’s high is going to be 86 degrees and the silver lining is enjoying the second day of the Twins Days Festival.

To those of you who love to attend special conventions, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Did you get the shot?

Twin Muse: Yup! I took five other ones, too. I mean, EVERYONE wants to get a picture in front of us!

Muse: Same here! I’ve been getting constant photo requests all day long!

Twin Muse: I know! Isn’t this great?! I love love LOVE Twins Days!

And twin it up we did!  In the morning, me and my brother got up in our room at the Hilton Garden Inn and we were already in Twinsburg!  A whole lot happened, and I’ll be more than happy to fill you on all all the details during the aftermath.  For now, I’m just going to let the pictures speak for themselves.  Here are the pictures that I took today at the first day of the Twins Days Convention.

 

 

 

 

 

There are a number of other pictures that I have taken, but they are far too many to list here.  The day was fun.  I saw a whole lot of twins and made some new connections.  There will be an entire recap of this convention.  I promise.

Tonight, I am about to have dinner at the Blue Canyon.  After that, I will just chill for the rest of the evening.  I will let you know if anything else goes on tomorrow.

Today’s high is going to be 82 degrees and the silver lining is getting to Twinsburg and celebrating the first day of this event with my brother.

To those of you who like going to fun conventions, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: We had a lot of fun today!

Twin Muse: We did! There were sooooo many twins!

Muse: Wasn’t that amazing?

Twin Muse: It was! I can’t wait until tomorrow!

What? A preshow? Yup! With my brother and I leaving Thursday morning, we’re actually leaving a day before the Twins Days Festival actually starts.

Having that said, check back later for some wonderful pics!

My brother has the day off so in just a couple hours, we’re Twinsburg bound! We will then have a fun lunch at Chick Fil A and check into our hotel room. That is pretty much it until later.

 

Today’s high is going to be 86 degrees and the silver lining is going to Twinsburg with my brother.

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

 

Muse: Are you packed?

Twin Muse: Just about! I have one more article of luggage!

Muse: Already ahead of you! Can’t wait until we take off!

Twin Muse: Right? After that just two words…

Both Muses: ROAD TRIP!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

 

UPDATE:  Here are the pics from Thursday.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

With just one day left, I am officially in preparation mode for tomorrow’s trip. Clothes for every day? Check. Leftover food to clean out the fridge? Check. I’ve been checking off items left and right, trying to make sure that I don’t miss a thing.

The things I still have to do include the following. The laundry (Just took it out of the dryer). Setting up templates for this weekend’s blogs (Already done! My, am I on top of this.). Doing tomorrow’s devotionals tonight so I can pack them (except for the Experience Hope eDevotional that I’ll have to wait until 8:00 AM today and tomorrow.) . Taking a shower (did that this morning after my last 5K practice run). Brushing my teeth and packing everything I can except the last minute items tomorrow morning. It’s a sizable list, and I best get started on it.

 

Muse: I’m all done, and my hair looks nice!

Twin Muse: So does mine! Our hair is awesome.

Muse: Let’s not forget who made it awesome.

Twin Muse: That’s right! You helped with my hair!

Well, I’m ready for tomorrow. I just need to get everything done.

Muse: Will do. See you later, Kyle!

*both Muses vanish in a beam of light*

 

I forgot one other thing. I even managed to touch up my car a little bit this past Sunday. I got it washed yesterday and I wiped down the inside dash area yesterday. All the floor mats have been hosed and wiped as well. Time to work on the rest of the list, get some good sleep tonight, and head down to the twins convention with my brother. It’s going to be awesome.

Today’s high is going to be 82 degrees and the silver lining is the weekend starting a day early.

To those of you who like planning for big trips, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: No. We’re not going to play that. We’re going to play my playlist!

Twin Muse: I don’t like your playlist. We’re playing mine!

Muse: How about we play them both? We have enough time!

Twin Muse: We do! I can’t wait until tomorrow! ROAD TRIP!!

Muse & Twin Muse: AHHHHHH!!!!

 

Having just gotten back, I did one of the last things that I need to do to prepare for the Twins Days Festival. I went and got my haircut. I then completed all my other errands (including voting) before heading home.

There is, however, one more thing that I need to do before I’m ready to go to the convention. I need to finish packing. Once I’m all packed, I will be good to go. Just one more day remains before I’m in Twin-Con mode.

I also have to run one more 5K with my brother and attend tonight’s Toastmasters meeting.  Time to get going.

Today’s high is going to be 87 degrees and the silver lining is having shorter hair.

To those of you who like to have shorter hair when you’re preparing for a con, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: My cozy fam, what do you think?  Do you think that my hair needs a fresh new style?  I think it does.  The only thing that I need done is my hair. I want it to look good for the convention!

Twin Muse: Same! Our hair needs to look alike! Yay! I get to do a hair makeover!  Hmm, what’s this in the chat?  ImaginarySherri79 says: Twin Muse, it’s been more than a day since I have been watching you.  When are you going to take a bathroom break?  (Um, actually, I’m taking  another one right now as we speak!  I think I will go and take my “bathroom break” to get into a fresh one.  Yeah.  I’ll do that…)  You know what, ImaginarySherri?  You’re right!  I’m overdue for a trip to the little girl’s room.  I’ll be right back!

So what now? Am I going around beating up gangs with my brother? Not at all!

Really, the reason for the title is that I am going to be doing another practice 5K run with my twin brother today. So which one am I? Billy or Jimmy? Being the firstborn, I would have to say that I am Billy. My brother is Jimmy.

With that, I’m now going to get ready for the run after my brother comes home from his day at the post office later on.  That’s pretty much this day in a nutshell.

Today’s high is going to be 83 degrees and the silver lining is being able to practice running with my brother later.

To those of you who like practicing for a race, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: The grand opening for our two new restaurants is at noon.  I’m at one of them.  How are things at the other one, sis?  And as for running, let’s try to beat our time!

Twin Muse: You mean YOUR time? I’m only slowing down for you, twinnie! If I went at my normal pace, I would leave you in the dust! But yeah! Let’s go for it! And yeah! It’s looking good, twinnie!  There’s already a line forming at the entrance!  Our two new restaurants are going to be awesome!

That’s what it looks like.  Since I don’t have Amazon today, I will be attending church.  After that, I’ll be practicing a 5K run with my brother.  This will be grueling, considering that I haven’t practiced in a while.  I would’ve practiced more if it wasn’t for my injury.  Time to get ready now.

Today’s high is going to be 80 degrees and the silver lining is being able to go to church today.

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

 

Muse: It’s nice that you finally get to go.  The Head Chef is running our restaurant today so we won’t be there.  That reminds me, sis.  We have two more restaurants opening tomorrow!

Twin Muse: *sips coffee*  We do.  And it looks like they’re both going to be hits as well!  Awesome that you finally get to go, Kyle!

Today is a little more chill with it being rainy.  That, and I’m on the tail end of my recovery.  Time to get ready now.

Today’s high is going to be 75 degrees and the silver lining is having the weekend to unwind.

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

 

Muse: Last night was AMAZING!  We had record sales for our grand opening!

Twin Muse: We did!  The line was so long and those who couldn’t get in are complaining.  Maybe we should consider opening another restaurant or two?  Time to count our profits, twinnie!

That’s right.  New wallet.  New driver’s license (took care of that yesterday).  New healthcare card (will take care of that today).  Since I lost my wallet on Wednesday night, I have been replacing everything.

Also, my wound is healing nicely.  Hopefully it will be mostly recovered in the next week or two.  Time to get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 89 degrees and the silver lining is it being Friday at last.

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

 

Muse: It’s time, sis.

Twin Muse: Yup.  I agree.  Let’s do it.

Muse & Twin Muse:  TIME TO OPEN UP OUR NEW RESTAURANT!

Bordeaux:  Congratulations.  You deux have already given me the news.  I have appointed one of my head chefs to oversee the five restaurants.  So you want to start your own restaurant now, honh?

Muse:  Yes.  We want a restaurant that’s 100% our very own.

Twin Muse:  Yeah!  None of your ownership!

Bordeaux:  Very well!  I wish you deux luck!  Good luck!  Au Revoir!

Muse & Twin Muse:  Au Revoir Monsieur Bordeaux!

Muse:  Yay!  Our grand opening begins at noon.  Let’s review the menu with the staff!

Twin Muse:  Okay twinnie!  This restaurant is going to be a hit with everyone!  I can already see a line starting to form!

Yup.  The sub for a route couldn’t come in so I have to cover it instead.  I’ll be running that and then I’ll be getting my stitches out after work.  That’s pretty much this day in a nutshell.  Time to get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 89 degrees and the silver lining is getting my stitches out later on.

For those of you who have recovered from an injury before, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Get it done and get your stitches out!  Three out of the five restaurants called and they need us today!  Time to go and see what they need…

Twin Muse: You got this!  Finish reasonably and then you can take care of the stitches.  Let’s call the restaurants, twinnie!  What do they need?

This morning, I’m picking blueberries with my mom.  Tonight, I’ll be having sushi with my family.  That is pretty much this day in a nutshell.  Time to get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 83 degrees and the silver lining is having fresh blueberries and sushi later.

For those of you who like savory food, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Enjoy the blueberries and sushi!  One of the restaurants we manage sells a lot of sushi.

Twin Muse: Count me in!  Later on, let’s have some sushi, twinnie!  The five restaurants should be fine later on.  Let us know when you’re leaving, okay?

That’s what it sounds like.  Just another recovery day.  That’s pretty much this day in a nutshell.  Time to get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 81 degrees and the silver lining is having another day to recover.

For those of you who have dealt with recovery before, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse:  Hope you recover soon, Kyle!  Time to check on the next restaurant.

Twin Muse: *sips coffee*  I’m ready, twinnie!  Let’s do this!
