Been watching this topic for a while and I'm liking it so far. I've been in a slump and this is helping me get over it.
As for the current choice, I'd say, surprise guest.
Glad you're enjoying yourself, ๐
Feel ya, btw. Been in a creative slump myself. But this little exercise is really getting the juices flowing, know what I mean? ๐

Miley raises her thinned eyebrows up in surprise, the prominent wrinkles on her forehead all the more seen as she smiles at the ringing of her doorbell.
"Sounds like we have company!" Miley struggles to get off from her chair. An unintended grunt at the action.
A sound often heard whenever Miley gets up from sitting. She doesn't even notice now!
Especially when her back acts up.
At 55, it was unusual for her lower back not to feel stiff and achy. She blamed most of her problems on her recent weight gain. About thirty pounds thanks to menopause.
She had to throw away so many bras, they were all too small! Where was the size when she was 25? Where?!
Thankfully, she hasn't experienced a hot flash during taping of her show, but she knows it'll sneak up on her soon enough!
Her swollen ankles at the steps, a struggle to climb lately, Miley opens the door to find...
An alternative rocker, in his early forties, with visible tattoos on his neck the middle aged woman found a tad extreme, standing firmly in a green sweater with hair gelled and beard lightly grayed.
"You must be Justin." Miley smiles at the lead singer from Blue October. "It's so nice you stopped by, sweetheart."
As Justin let himself in, a part of Miley envied the 42 year old. It's amazing how she's reached a point in her life where being forty felt young!
Behind set, Justin talked about his two year old and it made Miley envious. She's missed those days.
Heck, she wouldn't even mind changing a diaper or two! It often shocks her that her youngest is a high school sophomore!
It made her feel so... old!
At least she had her show, at least kids around the world enjoyed it. But still, Miley couldn't shake the little midlife crisis tapping its finger over her spongy shoulder.
"A song?" Miley clapped elegantly as Justin sat on a stool, an act Miley wouldn't dream of doing these days, holding an acoustic guitar.
"How lovely!" Miley added.
It was a sweet song and it gave Miley a little perspective.
"That was wonderful." Miley complimented. It was strange how a song did the trick, but she genuinely felt better about her place in life. There's still so much she can appreciate, so much she can enjoy, so much she can give.
With a hug, Miley set Justin off, and thus ended the second segment of her episode.
๐พHope you enjoyed the little installment and the surprise guest!๐พ
This or that?
Miley takes a break, exploring her personal life.
Or
Miley takes a stroll to a daycare, playing drums with little kids and aging an additional ten years.
