Poor Decisions and Long Vacations

Hmm, how to start. Howdy? Hello? I'm...alive? Well, barely. Turns out it is a terrible idea to try taking three grad school classes when you're working full time. Particularly if that work also entailed a relatively new promotion that involved both more responsibility and more stress.

That two sentence explanation is all you probably need to know about how I spent the time between the last blog post and this one. I learned a lot about ticks and tick-borne diseases though, in particular Lyme disease. Which is really neat and cool, I guess, until you start having intense anxiety dreams about blood-engorged ticks and angry patient advocacy groups.

I'm back now. But so is school. Hopefully I'll still manage to write more than once every four months though.
