#I usually have to powercycle my brain through breathing and somatic exercises before I sleep

[a-yarn-of-purple-prose]

There's a awkward story on why, exactly, I bought some incense this week, but the point is that I bought amber, oud, and lavender.

Since I hardly ever burn incense (I said it was an awkward story) I just left the boxes over my dresser, thinking that maybe I'd give some to my mom later, as she actually enjoys incense.

But they're good, high grade incense, the sort that will scent the place just from existing there, so I just left them there. It was nice even if made the whole room smell just a little bit like a temple.

It's been 5 days and now I guess I have to admit that not only the combination is pretty comforting, the nice incense sticks are making me sleep through the night.
