![]() In a few days I am going on a trip to visit my twin sister. I am really looking forward to seeing her. I need to be with my real twin and get away from my Evil Twin. I have been spending way too much time with my Evil Twin lately. No matter how much I do to change my life, my Evil Twin is never satisfied. I suppose that’s a good thing because it makes me keep looking for ways I can improve, but it means I spend a lot of time hitting myself over the head for the things I haven’t done instead of celebrating the things I have done. I have been reasonably consistent about walking with a friend and going to the health club to do my exercise routine, but my Evil Twin lets me know that I weigh exactly the same, if not more than I did when I started going to Toadal Fitness. My Evil Twin does not like vegetables. Even though I grow them and fill up my refrigerator with them she discourages me from eating them. Then she turns around and gives me a bad time about not eating in a healthy way. I went shopping at the thrift store for some tops that “make me happy” to take on my trip, but my Evil Twin keeps second guessing me. She is questioning some of my choices, especially the animal prints. Are they fun and whimsical or are they just weird little old lady tops? My Evil Twin talks me into watching reality TV and those corny mysteries on the Hallmark Channel. I have rejected at least four different potential blog entries because my Evil Twin considered them boring and stupid. I know if I keep listening to her I will never publish another post. This is why I really need to get away. My Evil Twin is in my head and won’t leave me alone. I just have to make sure I don’t bring her with me on my trip to see my real twin.

WHAT IS A LITTLE OLD LADY WITH CATS - REALLY?
(from an entry posted on 5/1/2015) “I definitely fit some of the characteristics of a little old lady with cats: Retired - check, Single - check, Like to knit - check, Have cats - check. . .I do not want to get stuck in my Little Old Lady persona, however. In fact, this blog is a risk taking experiment in exploring and redefining what I want my retired life to look like.” Categories
