Every day for the past several days I sit down at my computer and ask myself what is that smell.  Typically it’s after my devotional walk so I always check my shoes. It’s that kind of smell. Far different from the smells I was just enjoying.  It’s not the Daphne, the Clematis, the Artificial Orange.

Oh. It’s the VALERIAN I bought at Traveler’s last week with the intention of it mellowing out the stress and helping to stop the extremely frequent pains in my neck and head. And Peeeeeeew. I had forgotten how bad it can be.  It’s been years since I had any around the house, and certainly not out on the desk.  It’s in capsules and in a plastic bag and it be stanky still.
