I’m editing my manuscript and I just turned to The Emotion Thesaurus by @writers_helping_writers_angela and @beccapuglisi to make sure that the physical reaction for the emotion I was writing fit, and to see if there was anything else I could add. Whenever

I ordered Petal’s pet food and treats from PetSmart with home delivery (I am so glad that they deliver!) and they tucked in a handwritten note and an extra treat for Petal. I thought that was such a lovely thing to do and also a great marketing because it made me feel good. It was a Whimzees chewie shaped in an alligator and Petal has been enjoying it! Thank you @petsmart !

I’ve been finding Halloween harder this year

I’ve been finding Halloween harder this year, including the weeks leading up to it-it’s a time when cults increase their torture-but I’ve tried to focus on ways to make it positive tonight: dressing Petal up, and me, and then going out with the three little girls and their baby sister. I love Petal looking cute and adorable as a butterfly fairy, love wearing butterflies myself (can you tell I love Monarch butterflies?), and I love the kids’ enjoyment and delight in spending time with me.

I wish stores and houses didn’t display gruesome decorations like chopped, bloody limbs; human skulls; skeletons; spiders; masks, and gravestones, all of which are used in cult torture and abuse (real ones, not fake), but I’ve been getting through, and now I’m back home cuddling Petal and relaxing.
