Evil Squirrels, Needlessly Shopping and Writing

We have a neighbor who feeds the squirrels when she takes her dog on a walk. I personally do NOT like squirrels, and that goes back to having to deal with them when I worked at SeaWorld. They are so aggressive, and their little claws hurt when they scratch at your legs to get your attention. They nip, too, if you ignore them.

 Anyways, I've noticed that when I walk Mozart, there are squirrels that approach us, and I'm so worried they'll try and attack Mozart. In the last couple of years, I don't remember them being this brave. They might be small, but that doesn't stop them from approaching!

I just went to Dollar Tree and had a great time finding things that I was looking for. I almost didn't grab the makeup cleaner tray, but for $1.25, why not? I've never tried it before, but it's supposed to clean your brushes better than what I've been doing. I also got this pen for my eyebrows, and I didn't know how it worked, so I was playing with it.... Yeah, now I look like Groucho Marx. I didn't expect it to be so dark and um.... so PAINTED. 

I found the little tiny soap sheets that go into your purse. I bought 6 for my Galentine Day party. I also bought 6 little body scrubs for the shower. I should probably stop buying things for the party. I really want this to be fun for everyone. I bought clips for my hair that reminded me of my teens. I also bought a few makeup items. I'm really trying not to keep buying lipstick and gloss. I have so much, but I can't seem to stop myself.

We went to the grocery store for stir-fry items. I found the sale rack and ended up buying so much more stuff. I found a bath bomb as an offering to the High Priestess. I think she'll like it. She loves bath bombs. I also got 2 bags of coffee for $5.50. That is a really good price because everything is so expensive now. I bought something for Mr. Mozart that has peanut butter inside it. I bought 2 bags of Giggles, which is my absolute favorite candy. YumEarth has pretty good candy. 

I've been studying Spanish and the tarot. Not the same subject. 😂

Writing Update:

D.P. : I finally named my alpha turned omega story. I think the name fits, but we'll see if it stays this way. Also, I got to chapter 8 and realized that, where the story is going, I need to change all the previously written chapters. I'm now on chapter 1 again. Also, I'm doing this from one point of view instead of three. I believe I had about 24,000 words written. Now, starting from the beginning, I only have 2,083 words written. I think though, that having 1 point of view might be better. I might have been skirting over the details too much to fit in 3 point of views. Still feel like this might be romantic.... I don't know. 

S.H. : I want to change the name of this and use the words S.H. as the series title. Also, rewriting this from 1 person's point of view instead of having the back and forth. Also, I really barely touched on the ugliness of this world, so I need to go back and really not shy away from the details. I need to think "how far can I make this go" without it being terribly gruesome. It's supposed to be romantic.
