Alter Ego

Alter Ego
I had a lot of fun with this game. You get to relive your life from birth to death. It can take a while to complete the game, but your place will be automatically saved for you to come back to and continue.
As things worked out for me, I graduated from college with a degree in Engineering, but wound up with a job in business, after holding several part-time jobs and long periods of unemployment. It took me awhile to find a stable relationship and did not get married until late-adulthood. Also did not have child until late adult-hood (adopted it, as I'd already begun menopause)... and didn't get to name the child until I had reached old age...lol. Overall, my health through most of my life was not so great, and infact, I was heathier in old-age than I was in youth. My husband died from a fall, and I eventually died in my sleep, our child still a baby.

This is a cheese box.




Why 'The Cheese Box'?

Well, when I was a kid, my mom used to keep a cheese box under her bed in which she would have all of the poetry and such that she'd written. I always tried to get to the cheese box so I could read the contents, but my mother would catch me and tell me I wasn't allowed to read it until I was older. When I grew older, my mother changed her story and said I couldn't read it until she was dead. She died in May of 2000, and I now have her cheese box and have thoroughly enjoyed going through her writings. So I decided to name my blog in honor of my mother and her cheese box.
