Me & My Muse – Day 4598: Super Bowl Large – Part X

After delivering Amazon packages all day, I think I’m now going to relax.

Yeah.  I know that it’s really 60, but I couldn’t help but humor the roman numerals.

 

The Seahawks are playing the Patriots, but I don’t care.  What I’m rooting for is the commercials.  Go commercials!

Tonight will consist of the usual Super Bowl fare. Just a bunch of snacks with my brother and my parents. That’s about it.

Muse: I’m not too crazy about the game either. But I WILL watch the commercials.

Twin Muse:  Same.  I can’t WAIT to see the commercials!

Me too. Can’t wait for the game…so I can watch all the commercials!

 

Today’s high is going to be 19 degrees and the silver lining is watching the Super Bowl commercials tonight.

To those of you who will be watching the game tonight, either for the teams or the commercials, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse:  I hope the commercials win.  With so many people watching the Super Bowl, they better be good…

Twin Muse:  I want them to win, too!  Time for more of those yummy appetizers!

Me & My Muse – Day 4597: Double Feature Saturday

Why?  Because today, I am not just seeing one movie but two movies.

The first movie will be Melania.   The second movie will be an encore viewing of Avatar: Fire and Ash.  Dinner will probably follow.  That is pretty much this day in a nutshell.

Today’s high is going to be 19 degrees and the silver lining is seeing two movies today.

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

Muse: You’re seeing a movie?  Let’s go, twinnie!

Twin Muse: I just drank two mocha espressos with Spock on them!  It’s a good thing I’m prepared! *sips coffee* Let’s go!  I’m buying the popcorn and drinks!

Me & My Muse – Day 4596: Frantic Friday

Since I got up this morning, I have been getting things done nonstop.  All the snow is shoveled and everything is all good to go.

For updates on the USPS.  I have my training next week in Au Gres for three days.  That’s three days that I will have to drive there early in the morning.  Oh, and I have Amazon packages to deliver on Sunday so there’s plenty of hours to go around.  That’s pretty much this day in a nutshell.  Time to relax and get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 35 degrees and the silver lining is it finally being Friday.

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

Muse: Super Mario Odyssey is done!  Time to relax!

Twin Muse: Right after a signature Spock Mocha latte! *sips coffee* So good!

Me & My Muse – Day 4595: Thirsty Thursday

Thirsty as in I’m thirsty for more work and I’m still waiting for an instructor.  Time to get ready for the day.

Today’s high is going to be 26 degrees and the silver lining is having more time to think and reflect.

To those of you who can’t believe that Friday’s tomorrow, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Muse: Just beat Super Mario Odyssey!  Time for the post game!

Twin Muse: Post game is my favorite!  Time to finish Spock! *sips coffee* Yup.  Spock is still good!

Me & My Muse – Day 4594: Waiting Wednesday

The wait continues for me to be assigned an on the job instructor at the post office.  In the meantime, I will try to make the most of this day.

Today’s high is going to be 24 degrees and the silver lining is being able to get some errands done.

To those of you who like being halfway through the week, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Muse: Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are done!  Time for Super Mario Odyssey!

Twin Muse: I will begin after I finish my Spock mocha espresso! *sips coffee* Spock tastes so amazing…

Me & My Muse – Day 4593: Toasty Tuesday

And what does that mean?  Another Toastmasters meeting tonight.  Also another trip to the grocery store earlier in the day.  Time to get ready now.

Today’s high is going to be 24 degrees and the silver lining is being able to get some errands done.

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

 

Muse: With the Star Trek marathon done, we have now been playing all the Super Mario games.  The 8 bit classics were easy and so were the 16 bit classics.  Super Mario 64 was a nostalgia trip and I just got 120 shines in Super Mario Sunshine.

Twin Muse: Onward to Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2! But first, I need to finish my Spock mocha espresso!  *sips coffee* Yup.  Spock still tastes sublime.

Me & My Muse – Day 4592: A Normal Monday

After having to travel nonstop, I almost forgot what a normal Monday feels like.  I guess this is it.

Today will consist of shoveling more snow and taking care of my paperwork at the post office.  That is pretty much this day in a nutshell.

Today’s high is going to be 28 degrees and the silver lining is not having to travel today.

To those of you who are working your normal Monday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: And our normal marathon of Star Trek continues!  After that, let’s play through all of the Super Mario Series!

Twin Muse: I’m game for that! *sips coffee* Ah Spock, you taste quite pleasant!

Me & My Muse – Day 4591: Outsmarted

Today I’m going to take it easy and…great.  There’s that Android again that’s going to enforce more hard labor…

Android:  You are free to go.  Leader’s orders.

What?!  No hard labor today?

Android:  That was their orders.  Set him free.

Are you okay?  I thought I was under an evil new world order.

???:  Not anymore!

*both Midnight Muse and Dark Muse appear*

What?  It’s Muse but you still look like Midnight Muse!

Midnight Muse:  You idiot! You will stop what you’re doing this instant!

(Muse):  And what are you going to do about it?

Dark Muse:  I agree.  They both need to stop now!

(Twin Muse):  Why would we do that?  After all, our plan worked out perfectly!

Plan?  Would you care to explain?

(Muse):  Indeed!  Both me and my twin counterpart both had a backup plan in the event that we were ever taken over by our evil twin counterparts by mind control.  We still had complete control and were both capable of overriding their functions at any time.

(Twin Muse):  So we just let them carry on their evil deeds with the whole world conquest thing.  Little did they know that we were going to set things back to normal.

Dark Muse:  No!  How can this be?  Neither of us could sense you inside!

(Muse):  And that’s the beauty of the plan.  We were able to remain stealth inside.  Did you really think that we would just let you win?  Both ma and my twin counterpart are way too intelligent for that!

(Twin Muse):  Indeed!

Midnight Muse:  But we still rule the world!  What are you going to do inside?

(Muse):  This.  Kyle, here’s all your One Privileges back.

*Midnight Muse flashes and sends beam of energy to me*

Nice.  This could quite simply be the easiest finale ever!

(Twin Muse):  And it’s time for a blip!

*Dark Muse puts the Infinity Gauntlet on and snaps her finger again*

(Twin Muse): There.  The half of humanity that was gone is now restored.

Dark Muse:  You insolent fool!  Stop with your tampering now!

(Twin Muse):  Do you want to do the honors, my twin counterpart?

(Muse):  Certainly!  Both you and Dark Muse are no longer permitted to inhabit the construct of our neural network.  Extricate yourselves from both of us at once!

Midnight Muse:  AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! NOOOOO!!!!

Dark Muse: THIS CAN’T BE!!!!

*both Midnight Muse and Dark Muse flash, leaving Muse and Twin Muse, which transform back to their original forms*

Muse:  Do you want to do the honors, Kyle?

Certainly.  Midnight Muse and Dark Muse, both of you are banished from earth.  One Privilege, ENGAGE!

Midnight Muse:  This isn’t the last of us!

Dark Muse:  For certain, it won’t be!

*both Midnight Muse and Dark Muse vanish in a cloud of smoke*

Muse:  There’s something that still needs to be done.  I don’t know about you, my twin counterpart but I am not too fond of an iron fisted dictatorship over this whole world.  There is not a single house anywhere but only large apartment complexes.  Our mansion is the only real house that exists.

Twin Muse:  Indeed.  A construct of communism is not suitable for the original state of this planet.  Kyle, I think you can take things from here.

And I will.  Everything in this world is back to normal.  One Privilege, ENGAGE!

 

*world flashes and everything is back to normal*

There.  What a nice end to this story arc.  Time to get ready!

Muse:  And we will return to our Star Trek Marathon where we left off!

Twin Muse:  Not before I order another mocha espresso that the barista WILL make in the shape of Spock’s head!  Spock espresso, here I come!

*both Muse and Twin Muse vanish in a beam of light*

Well, it’s time for me to get ready and enjoy the rest of this day.  The lazy weekend continues now.

Today’s high is going to be 25 degrees and the silver lining is having another day to relax.

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

 

Muse: Time to continue the Star Trek marathon!  I have have all the snacks curated!

Twin Muse: And I have my Spock espresso! *sips coffee* Ah Spock.  You taste just as good as I remembered.  Commence the next episode!

Me & My Muse – Day 4590: FINALLY Home!

And what am I going to do?

Absolutely nothing!

And that starts now.

Today’s high is going to be 21 degrees and the silver lining is finally being home.

To those of you who like having a break after a nonstop work marathon, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Enjoy your nothing!  You earned it!

Twin Muse: Don’t do nothing too hard now! *sips coffee* I feel like doing nothing too!  Let’s do nothing, twinnie!

Me & My Muse – Day 4589: Academy – Day 4 of 4 – Final Day

Not a private school, mind you but the name of a four-day training that I will be doing for USPS.

It starts tomorrow, and where I am trained is about three hours away from here.

For this reason, all story arcs will be suspended until the weekend.  That is all.

Oh, and the story arc is on hold until further notice.

 

Muse: It’s actually ABOVE 0?  Time to get another cup of hot chocolate!

Twin Muse: I’m right behind you! After this coffee, it’s time for some hot chocolate! I’m so cozy! Good luck on your training, Kyle!

Me & My Muse – Day 4583: BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are not going to believe this.  But as I am typing this, it is EXTREMELY cold outside. It is around -14 degrees outside, and it’s not supposed to get much warmer today.

The other thing that you will not believe is that I have to go back to the hotel today for my makeup LLV training.  It had to be rescheduled yesterday because my trainer wasn’t feeling well.  I will do that tomorrow and then come home.
