Code of the West

In which a 50-something woman embarks on a new career in nursing in a newly empty nest with a newly retired husband, an old cat, a yard full of chickens, a field full of predators, a shotgun and a sense of humor.

About Me

My photo
ma'am
Former law enforcement firearms and defensive tactics instructor, now critical care nurse. Trying to integrate two mindsets, that of the warrior and that of the nurturer. Quirky, strange, motivated, hyper-sensitive. Loves animals, humor, the out of doors, and her family. Wife of similarly quirky person, mom to three wildly diverse over achievers (also quirky). Cynical, curious, cautious, and a pushover for someone in need. Adrenaline junky, academic seeker. Wants everyone to do what's right.
