Cajun Witch

So something I found amusing but terrifying happened to me the other day and I thought I'd share because I'm sure I'm not the only one.... As per one of my recent posts, I attempted smoking an herb the other day out of desperation for pain relief of any sort.  And no, it's not the herb most  of you may think of straight off the bat, so there.  Well, Saturday, I was saging the house, and some of the said herb's residue was still in the thing I use to keep myself from dropping burning embers all over the place while I cleanse.  So the house smelled heavy of many burning herbs.  Yes, the windows were open--the weather was SO nice Saturday that the windows stayed open all day--lovely treat for May in South Louisiana!

Let's take a moment off the topic of witchery...

I could go into more detail, but I'm working on release all the hurt, so I just won't.  In November, she and her family moved 5 hours away.  It made sense for them--her son is in college there and her daughter went to my daughter's school (she dropped this semester).  I try to stay in contact with my niece and nephew, but they respond about as much as she does. ...
