I love Halloween too, but like you, I've been up to by eyeballs and brows with daunting--and haunting--amounts of work lately. 🎃😱As a Samhain-ite, I enjoyed this eclectic (ecclesiastical?) seasonal offering (a bit of poetry, a dash of ritual, some funky party weasels... a veritable witch's brew). Please do not dial down the silliness; if you do, I will have to dial it up, and I'm not sure those around me can handle much more of my silly ways. Also, I think the incense is what was caused the altar boy to pass out. I speak from experience on such matters!

I love your propensity for silliness, my âme soeur of the wacky and wonderful! I hear you regarding the daunting amounts of work. Hang in there, as I'm attempting to do. But not literally, even though it's fairly fitting for the witchy season, I suppose. Incense you say?? Who knew! That explains a lot, though, cause it actually happened 2 Sundays in a row, which scared the bejesus out of me.

It's a good thing he wasn't fainting every week... Incense is a potent (per)fume!

Thanks so much, Hannah! And thanks for commiserating! I’m doing my darnedest to keep the writing consistent, but it’s definitely a struggle some weeks!
