Lyme Disease. We all know about it, and we all hate those ticks that carry it. This is an older article, and yes, it's got a clickbait head, but it still has some interesting information about a vaccine for Lyme and why it is not available for you: Lyme Vaccine One of the biggest roadblocks … Continue reading Wednesday Wanderings: Lyme Disease Vaccine Controversy, Marketing and Writers, Recycling Troubles, and Your Weekly Awwww
We had a nice, relaxing weekend. Saturday was grocery shopping and errands, as usual. This week, it seemed to go by quickly. Not needing a whole lot at the grocery stores helped, of course.
