Once again, we have arrived at another milestone. A mandatory and objective milestone that will unfortunately and undoubtedly beyond certainty include a totally different post from Day 4000 and a nearly identical post from Day 4700. I don’t know about you, but with it being the day before I work Amazon Sunday at the post office, the LAST thing I want to do is spend the next 3-5 hours constructing a profoundly monumental and redundant display of my writing prowess.
I am sure that you are all aware of how things will transpire. (Another exciting redundancy as usual, but it’s still me from last time! The very same me from the 4700th entry! You don’t believe me, do you? Well, go back and read the 4700th entry and then go and tell me who’s lying. And while we’re on redundancies, how much longer is he going to recycle this piece of rubbish? I’m all about saving the environment, but recycling this for the thirty-second time in a row? My, what a milestone! I do need to applaud for your originality…if you had any! This is getting ridiculous! There hasn’t been anything original since entry 100! Well, okay.
There was also entry 2000 and 4000, which were both amazing by the way. Oh well. I need to acknowledge his busy life, as I am quite busy myself, re-narrating this over-narrated narration… For now, we will continue with this cheaply contrived recycled piece of milestone rubbish, rife with wit, dry humor, satire and sarcasm. Smashing! I don’t think that I will change a thing! Although I did add a little extra content and change “4600th” to “4700th” and “thirty-first” to “thirty-second” but now we’re just nit-picking, aren’t we? And while we’re at it, why don’t we recycle almost everything in this entire post? Wait! What I just included was new! So much for sticking to my plan…*sigh*) I will leave an introspective entry and then shift my point of view to first person. (Blah blah blah. Redundant again! REDUNDANCY WARNING! How many more times are you going to recycle this? Wait! I’ve said that already! Well it’s a good thing that I have included that redundancy warning! Otherwise, you would not have been forewarned of said redundancies. What? Did you really think that I was going to forget about it? I remembered! Go me! I rock!) I would then provide a predictable reaction from my Muse’s intended absence.
In a sheer attempt at humor, I redundantly acknowledge the composition of this entry. How I talk about this being another milestone, and that this is just a slightly cheap reconstruction of an entry made 100 days ago. (Not quite. I made some subtle changes and included a note to the reader to reread the 4600th entry which would provide a basis of proof that I am the same narrator that narrated 100 days ago.) How original! You would have to be exhausted to pull off something like that! How I am aware of how things will transpire. How I would leave an introspective…wait! This is getting too redundant, and is on the brink of being extremely absurd and ridiculous. Is it too late to start over? (Genius! Considering that you already typed the first two paragraphs, I would just delete them. Just be sure to save my interjections. They’re pure gold, I tell you! Nevermind…You kept them…) With that, we will press on.
Blah blah blah…Long profound…wait! This is redundant! Wasn’t this mentioned in day 4600? We know what happens next already. The overdone exposition about the Muse and why she is not here, approaching the tower (Yes. This tower is different from the one that you saw in Day 4500. It always is! It’s different every 100 posts!) Let’s avoid the redundancy about being redundant, shall we?
But, breaking away from the overly astute sarcastic narrations that get more and more repetitive and redundant with the passing of each 100th post, I notice that this tower is… different. Yes. The tower is a little bit taller (About 100 stories taller, to be exact! My are we smart!), but just to be sure. We will have a look inside and see…
Time to recycle some text from my previous entry, with some subtle edits to make it resemble something slightly different, with the attempt of sounding original and new, since these milestone posts would be boring without that. (I’m all for originality! Let’s be brave! Let’s make something slightly different so that no one will ever notice!)
After standing there for a while, I finally entered through the door. Sure enough, the same field was there. (We should really change the scenery a little bit. Maybe in a later one, perhaps? But this is entry 4700! Maybe we should change it soon…) I was surrounded by the same lush greenery as before. (The greenery was so green that Kyle was overjoyed with ecstasy from the overwhelming greenness.) Clovers and wildflowers. Yellow, orange, and red leaves. A sea of color. Nothing was different from what I experienced 100 days ago. (Except for everything else in this entry that I changed so far. My, am I on a roll today!)
The colorful luminescent sea led to a rather tall structure that sat far in the distance. A tall structure that looked even taller than before. Again, this was getting too predictable, having already experienced this before. And quite redundant. Every 100 entries, the tower’s a little bigger. We get it.
The tower looked like an ornately decorated office building – for women. The pink and white accents ran up and down the gold-adorned structure. The diamond-studded glass had a pink tint to it. (Oh please! The designer can only think of the ladies, can’t she? Well, I never!)
“A pink office building,” I said to myself. “Can’t my Muse be any more original?”
Let’s cut to the chase, and find out if this tower really is different.
I got attention of the same receptionist who sat there, typing 100 days back.
“So, is this the same Tower of Muses as before?” I asked her, just to make sure. (Oh, come on! You ask her that every single time! Shouldn’t you know the answer already?)
My Muse shook her head again and smiled. “No, silly! This tower is a little different. And there’s a teleporter thingy that will take you to the 4701st floor!”
I nodded, with a slight grin on my face. And this was mainly due to the deja vu. “And this floor is still…”
“Floor 1,” she recited. “ExperiMENTAL. Tee hee…”
And of course the Dark Muse, which was then a bad idea, was just beginning to affect my Muse at this time… (*sigh*) ”Thank you,” I told her, proceeding forward to the mysterious portal that sat past the white service desk just before the elevators.
Upon entering the portal, she was right. I entered a new room, which resembled a different lobby. But this lobby had no exit, since this was the 4701st floor.
Approaching a white colored service desk, I saw two different Muses sitting there. But neither of them were typing. In fact, they both looked up right after I got to this floor. It was only a split second that I saw them typing…
“Welcome, Kyle.” she announced. “You are on the “Now We’re Cooking!” floor. This floor is one of my favorites, since it captures who I am, 99 days ago…”
The Twin Muse nodded. “I agree! It was fun as we were just starting to cook!”
I nodded, and looked at the elevators that were past her desk. “I would like to go to floor 4800 now.”
At this, my Muse frowned. “Why? There are so many good floors!”
Twin Muse sighed. “I’ve read the past entries! He always does this! Fine! Go to the elevators and skip everything like you always do!”
I advanced further to the elevators. I then sighed, and quite deliberately broke the fourth wall. The overly redundant redundancies have reached their limit for this post! Would you really want me to actually pick 6 to 8 random floors and stop on them? Sorry. It’s not going to happen this time, either. If you really wish to hear my discussion on the floors, you can visit any one of them by clicking on the links near the bottom of this post. Okay. If we don’t visit them, perhaps we should do this instead. I will briefly recap some of my favorite floors, after I have taken a few minutes to determine what they are.
There. After several minutes of reviewing all 99 entries, thinking and making a much needed edit over the older text, I have my list. It’s right here! I have it on my lap. Let’s see…I will put this in list form so that it will be easier for you to read. My favorite floors are:
Floor 4701 – Now We’re Cooking!
What do you get when you have two muses that are aspiring chefs? You get a recipe for success! While it make not look like it now, these two hard working dish washers are determined to work their way through the restaurant industry and eventually run their very own restaurant! But every story has its humble beginnings. Read this one to see how it all began.
Floor 4711 – Errands, Networking, and a Mysterious Book
In this one, I share my day in a three-part format. After the busy stuff is done, I can enjoy playing Yoshi and the Mysterious Book at the end of the day. Curious? Open this book and see what this post is all about.
Floor 4729 – Toy Story 5
In this one, I express my excitement for the fifth installment of Toy Story. Something important happens in this movie, and in case you haven’t seen it, I’m not going to tell you what it is. Read this one, and share the excitement of the riveting next part to the Toy Story saga! And don’t forget to see the movie too!
Floor 4736 – Last Weekend
While it’s the last weekend in June, something exciting happens to my Muses. What could it be? Read this one and find out!
Floor 4739 – North for the Fourth
How often is it that I actually go up north for the Fourth of July? Not very often, actually. In this one, I go over my checklist and share my excitement for a fun-filled weekend. Read this one, and don’t forget to pack it. You don’t want to leave it behind…
Floor 4743 – North for the Fourth – Part II: NESday Road Trip Edition!
What? There’s a part two? There is. What’s better than going up north for the Fourth of July? Going up north for the Fourth of July for a Vacation full of NESsy goodNES. My friend is waiting up there and it’s going to be a blast. So, what are you waiting for? Finish packing and read this one. It’s going to be a fun trip up there!
Floor 4744 – Happy 250th Independence Day!
In this one, I express my excitement for America’s 250th birthday. This is going to be a very big 4th of July so get your fireworks ready and read this one. It’s going to go out with a bang!
Floor 4746 – Summer Errands Done Quick
Okay. In this particular one, I showcase my awesome speed strats for my Me & My Muse run. I call this one the “easy entry” strat. As a fun reference to the Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) charity stream, this run, er, entry is a fun and entertaining read. And time is called when I read the end of this description. And…TIME!
Floor 4749 – Thirteen Years and Counting
Has it really been thirteen years that I’ve been doing Me & My Muse? Yes it has, and if you haven’t read an anniversary post, this one’s for you. Here’s to thirteen years of this wonderful experiment. Read this entry and celebrate.
Floor 4750 – Plenty of Friday GoodNES…
Yes. FRIDAY goodNES, considering my crazy schedule at the post office. With the whole “weekend” off, and my brother having the same clearance, what do I do at a time like this? Go on a road trip to my friend’s house. In this one, I share my excitement of going up north to my friend’s place with my brother, and the fun adventure that we had up there. A fun weekend of watching TV shows, playing games, and eating out. There is plenty of Friday GoodNES up in the East Bay side of Traverse City. So pack your bags, get your swim suits, flip flops and sunglasses, and read this one. It is a fun weekend adventure and it’s a hot one outside.
Floor 4754 – HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While it’s normal for Arizona to get this hot, having the temperature reach more than 100 degrees is not very common in these parts. So grab a cold one, turn up your AC and read this one. And whatever you do, don’t go outside! It’s a hot one out there.
Floor 4759 – Nursing my Wounds
This is a very serious one, as it involves me sharing the aftermath of serious injury involving a dog seriously injuring my arm. While this may very well solidify my hatred of dogs forever, I found it rather cathartic to share here in this space. Read this one, and if you are a dog owner, shame on you.
Floor 4760 – Cookie Recovery Day
What can make you feel better after a nasty dog bite? A nice big cookie, of course! In this one, I share my excitement for getting a delicious cookie at Crumbl Cookie. So you know what to do. Go to Crumbl, get a cookie, and read this one. Don’t forget the milk to wash it down!
Floor 4771 – Starting Friday from Scratch
A new wallet. A new Driver’s License. A new health insurance card. This is what happen when you lose a wallet. But my Muse are also starting from scratch when they decide to quit at the restaurant to start a business of their own. Starting from scratch? Dust yourself off and read this one. You can do it!
Floor 4781 – Twins Days Festival – The Recap: For REALZ this Time – 2026 Edition!
You want more Twins Days? Well, you’re in luck! Brace yourself, because this one is a feast. A 10,000+ word feast allowing you to relive all of my favorite moments at one of the most memorable weekends in the summer of 2026. Are you game? Are you hangry for some more Twins Days? Then go on and read it! ALL of it. I assure you. You will not be disappointed.
Floor 4785 – Birthday Aftermath
In this one, my twin Muses give me the most delicious food I ever had. And you should all have it too. It’s so good. So read it. Come on! Everyone needs to taste the goodness! Midnight Muse and Dark Muse’s food is the very best….
Floor 4687 – Brand New Day
So did I just attend a Sting concert? Am I going to start singing? Maybe this is just a fun hype post about my excitement for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. And apparently, I’m not the only one who’s excited, as Muse and her twin is. Watch all the Spiderman movies and then read this one. And see Brand New Day while you’re at it. With more than $2 billion, you can’t go wrong…
Floor 4795 – A New Recipe
In this one, a master takes over and gives me the best lobster that I have ever tasted. This is the conclusion to the chef Muse saga so you will want to savor every bite. Read this one and taste the goodness. He’s called the Culinary Master for a reason…
Floor 4798 – The Work at the End of the Tunnel
Have you ever been driven to the edge of sanity and back? Being overworked, I have fun with this entry by “losing it”, making ridiculous substitutions of words (replacing various ones with “work”). Quite possibly the only “Work & My Muse” entry that you’ll ever work (Unless you count the one from 2015). Did I say work? I meant READ. Read the entry and you’ll see the joke there.
Wow! It looks like I had more favorites than what I thought. I included way more than last time! Maybe I should’ve removed a few from the list. But it’s too late now. Onward to the 4800th floor…
My Muse, having heard the whole conversation, grinned.
“It’s amazing how much you know about those floors!” she told me. “Especially since you haven’t even visited them…”
Twin Muse nodded. “He doesn’t doesn’t visit the floors, twinnie. He lived them!”
“Oh, I don’t need to…” I told her. “I lived them!”
Twin Muse smirked back at her twin counterpart. “See? He’s always the same!”
To that, she responded with a satisfied nod, and I proceeded to the elevators. I then pressed the up button a few times. Where are the elevators? With this many, I would think that at least one would be ready for me! A few seconds later, I entered the first elevator door that opened. It just happened to be the one next to me.
I entered the elevator and pressed the 4800 button. Moments later, the doors closed.
Several moments passed. At this point, Kyle decided to be a little more unoriginal and once again reused some material from the previous milestone entry. Perhaps he’ll make it a little different so that they’ll never notice. Just enough changes to throw off the audience. How lazy of him! Can’t he get his brain thinking of any more original ideas? But Kyle would have none of that. He is just as determined to bring this forty-seventh milestone post to an abrupt end (really, it’s his thirty-seventh considering his extended period of inactivity…). The good old recycled zinger. They’ll never notice! Unless the narrator reminds them…
Finally, moments later, the elevator arrived at the 4800th floor.
A little like the 4000th floor before it, this floor was an enormous room, lavishly decorated. A desk sat in one corner and a king-sized bed sat in the other, which was one fourth the size of the bed that was in Entry 4000. Pretty much the same room as the 4700th story, 4600th story, 4500th story, 4400th story, 4300th story, 4200th story, 4100th story, 3900th story, the 2600th story, the 2500th story, the 2400th story, the 2300th story, the 2200th story, the 2100th story, the 1900th story, the 1800th story, the 1700th story, the 1600th story, the 1500th story, the 1400th story, the 1300th story, the 1200th story, the 1100th story, the 900th story, the 800th story, the 700th story, the 600th story, the 500th story, the 400th story, the 300th story, the 200th story, and the 100th story before it, only the room was the same size as the 4700th story, 4600th story, 4500th story, 4400th story, 4300th story, 4200th story, 4100th story, 3900th story, 2600th story, 2500th story, 2400th story, 2300th story, 2200th story, 2100th story, 1900th story, 1800th story, 1700th story, 1600th story, 1500th story, 1400th story, 1300th story, 1200th story, 1100th story, 900th story, 800th story, 700th story, 600th story, 500th story, 400th story, and 300th story and the bed was light blue.
Oh! We agreed not to meddle with the following paragraph! As much as we want to, we can’t. It just wouldn’t be right…
And on the bed laid the twin Muses. Muse and Twin Muse. Both of them were in pajamas and fast asleep, with a note sitting between the two of them. It didn’t surprise me that they were sleeping, considering that creating this tower probably took so much out of them. Now I’m going to guess that the note will mention that the computer in this room will have this entry already typed. That even includes the later parts that you haven’t seen yet! Am I right? And this further adds to the redundancies that exist in this post already!
Attached to the foot of the bed was a note. And this is what it said:
To my master,
We made this tower for you and us (Wasn’t that sweet of us?). This is to honor your hard work and dedication for another 100 days of hardship, bringing the total up to 4800 (Wow! That’s a lot!). Thank you for your dedication to keeping this project going daily (I too, thank you from the bottom of my heart). If you look at your computer, the last entry is already written (She’s not lying! It’s all already written. Aren’t we nice?) I am still forever grateful to your kindness, your dedication to saving me and your gratitude. (Thank you also for saving me! Your dedication restored the true timeline and now we’re both reunited as twin sisters!)
Love (Lots and Lots and LOTS of Love),
Your Muse & Twin Muse ♥
I then looked next to the bed and noticed a directory which was much like the 4700th floor, 4600th floor, 4500th floor, 4400th floor, 4300th floor, 4200th floor, 4100th floor, 4000th floor, 3900th floor, 2600th floor, 2500th floor, 2400th floor, 2300th floor, 2200th floor, 2100th floor, 2000th floor, 1900th floor, 1800th floor, 1700th floor, 1600th floor, 1500th floor, 1400th floor, 1300th floor, 1200th floor, 1100th floor, 1000th floor, 900th floor, 800th floor, 700th floor, 600th floor, 500th floor, 400th floor, 300th floor, 200th floor, and 100th floor before it. However, this was the directory for the Tower of Muses, only it covered only the next 100 floors. I looked at the directory.

The high today is going to be 83 degrees and the silver lining is having this 4800th post made.
To all of you who have ever completed a major milestone, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Just like entry 4700, she’s right! The entire entry is typed! And there’s that message at the end! Aw…How cute. I don’t understand how a narrator got into my post. Oh well…
Now I’ll…What’s going on? Just like before! It’s happening once again! On the bed! The twin Muses are flashing…
