Tired nurse, mom, and grad student. I love reading and collecting books. Introvert. Visiting National Parks = my favorite vacations. (She/Her) Views are my own.

Also filled bird feeders.

โThe jobs never coming back,

Our childrenโs minds shuttered from school,
The funerals without families,
Weddings in waiting,
The births in isolation.
Let no one again
Have to begin, love, or end alone.โ

If you want a fantastic sci-fi book, Old Manโs War is a great read. John Scalzi has great characters, a sense of humor, and heโs an excellent storyteller.
